Unnecessary, illegal, and costly. Can we afford Trump and Netanyahu's war anymore? Billions wasted and thousands killed. Stop the killing and destruction now. End the war now!

Meanwhile, six months after a "ceasefire," Israel's genocide in Gaza continues, armed and enabled by the US. With the distraction of the war in Iran and Lebanon, Netanyahu is again starving Palestinians in Gaza.

We all have different motivations and reasons for why we advocate for peace, but when we make the choice to stand together, peace is one step closer to becoming a reality. Thank you to everyone who gave us their time yesterday and thank you to all who stood with us and used their voice.

Unnecessary. Illegal. Costly.

The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran—launched just over a month ago—is a war of choice that was never authorized by Congress and never approved by the American people.

We were told this war is about nuclear threats. But our own intelligence agencies have said Iran was not developing nuclear weapons—and past agreements could have prevented it altogether.

Instead, this war is costing lives—innocent civilians and servicemen—and draining billions of dollars while pushing our economy toward crisis. Rising oil prices, massive military spending, and a proposed $200 billion price tag… all at our expense.

We cannot stay silent.

📍 Join us this Saturday, April 11th
SC State House (Main & Gervais)
⏰ 11AM–1PM

Stand with us as we demand an immediate end to this war.
Signs will be available. Be ready to march. Speakers will be present.

Your voice matters. Show up. Speak out.
