Last Friday, we joined more than 150 Philadelphians to call on Sen. John Fetterman to withdraw his support for the illegal, immoral, and illogical war in Iran.
Not only did we both vote for the senator, we campaigned for him, too, encouraging our families, friends, and neighbors to trust us and vote for someone who promised to support peace, justice, and human rights above all else.
But Fetterman has turned his back on his promises — and on his constituents — by continuously supporting Israel’s assault on Gaza, and now, the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran. He was the only Democrat to vote against the War Powers Act, which would have curbed President Donald Trump’s power to launch a war without Congress’ approval.
