LIVE: Protesters demand Congress END THE WAR

WATCH NOW: Status Coup is ON-THE-GROUND where protesters are gathered outside of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries’ Washington, D.C. office — demanding Congress cut military spending and put an end to the war.

RIGHT NOW Status Coup’s Jon Farina is LIVE at a protest in Washington, D.C. where dozens have gathered outside of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries’ office with a question for the man who leads House Democrats. Will you get your caucus to vote against another dollar for this war?

It’s part of CODEPINK’s three-day Taxpayer Uprising in Washington, D.C., where organizers are demanding Congress end the Iran war, halt to U.S. military aid to Israel, and pass a Pentagon budget that leaves more money for healthcare, housing, and schools.

Congress is preparing to usher in a blue wave of newly-elected officials, many who won on a promise to oppose the war and challenge U.S. support for Israel. The people DEMAND change, and they want a speaker who will fight for them.

Yesterday, Status Coup was LIVE ON-THE GROUND when protesters attempted to speak to Sen. Chuck Schumer but found his door was locked.

Schumer voted to end U.S. military involvement. Now, protesters are continuing to press him to get Senate Democrats to draw a line on funding.

Both Schumer and Jeffries are facing internal pushback and leadership challenges from people across the country and the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
