UNA Statement of support for WHO:
Join the Virtual rally against the War on Yemen
January 25 has been declared an international day of action against the war in Yemen, where massive bombing and a naval blockade are creating a crisis of horrific proportions for the people of that country. To honor this day, there will be a Zoom panel (in English) on the crisis in Yemen on Saturday, January 16th, 2:00-3:30pm New York / 7:00-8:30pm London / 1:00-2:30 pm Madison. The panel discussion will include special guests Rep. Ro Khanna (U.S. Member of Congress) and Rt Hon. Andrew Mitchell (U.K. Member of Parliament) as well as other experts on the crisis.

US tax dollars and political capital, in alliance with Saudi Arabia and Israel among others, have been used to instigate, fuel and prolong this war, creating misery, disease and starvation for millions of people. With the change of administrations in Washington, there is a chance to change course and work to stop these events.
Locally, the Madison-Rafah Sister City Project has endorsed the January 25 call and is planning a local action. In the meantime, we invite you to view this free video about Yemen.
Yemenis have a long history of support for the Palestinian cause, and it is hard to ignore the parallels of bombing- and blockade-induced suffering when it comes to Gaza. We invite you to join this long-overdue effort to stop their suffering.
