Why? To give Big Oil another handout while YOU keep paying more for gas, back-to-school clothes, diesel, groceries and more thanks to Trump’s disastrous Iran war.

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror."
Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?
