Dear Member of Congress,

The Trump administration’s recent actions in Venezuela represent a dangerous escalation of U.S. involvement in the region. These moves risk pushing the country closer to open conflict while raising serious concerns about civilian harm, violations of international law, and long-term instability.

This is how forever wars begin: without clear authorization, without public consent, without accountability—and without a defined end.

Congress has a constitutional responsibility to serve as a check on executive overreach. That responsibility is especially urgent now. The American people do not want to be dragged into another unnecessary conflict, and they expect their elected representatives to stand firm against reckless foreign policy decisions.

Democrats, in particular, must be united and unequivocal in opposing any military escalation in Venezuela. The path forward should be diplomacy, de-escalation, and respect for international law—not actions that risk repeating the failures of past interventions.

This letter urges you to stand up to Trump and his MAGA administration by rejecting military action in Venezuela and asserting Congress’s role in protecting peace, accountability, and democratic oversight.

The moment demands courage. Please act accordingly.
