Going on 6 years of war & 4 years of @realDonaldTrump's disregard for the lives of millions of Yemenis, @JoeBiden has promised a policy reset. He's repeatedly called for an end to US participation & weapons in the #Yemen war. #YemenCantWait

To end U.S. complicity in this war, @JoeBiden must start his policy reset on day one by stopping weapons deliveries to the Saudi-UAE coalition, including Trump’s recently proposed $23 billion sale to the #UAE. #YemenCantWait #StopArmingUAE

@JoeBiden must work with Congress to pass a Yemen War Powers Resolution prohibiting intel sharing, logistical support & spare parts transfers for coalition airstrikes. Such a demonstration of support from Congress will help Biden pressure warring parties to end the violence.

Becoming the first @POTUS to sign a war powers resolution will help us prevent similar future catastrophes by Congress's role in war making. It will set a powerful precedent, deterring presidents from using military force without a debate and vote in #Congress.

Secondly, @JoeBiden should immediately reverse @SecPompeo's decision to cut $73 million in humanitarian aid to northern Yemen, and expand funding for malnutrition and disease. He must pressure Saudi and UAE to expand their funding pledges for #Yemen too.

Lastly, @JoeBiden must work with the @UN to bring about a political settlement to the conflict. They must double down on the #diplomacy needed to bring the warring parties to a ceasefire, end the #blockade and create lasting #peace.

6 years of unimaginable human suffering is more than enough. #YemenCantWait any longer. With urgency, @JoeBiden must fulfill his promise to cut support for the war and prevent #Yemen from plunging further into #famine.

By working with #Congress, the @UN, US allies, regional and local actors, and representatives of Yemeni civil society — especially women — @JoeBiden can help all sides find the road to peace in #Yemen.  #YemenCantWait
