Stop the boat strikes. Impeach Hegseth. Invest in health.
Since September 2025, the U.S. military has killed 244 people in illegal boat strikes under the banner of the drug war.
Each killing was authorized by Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth. Each bombing was carried out with no legal basis, no due process, and no justification given to grieving families. Each strike has cost American taxpayers millions of dollars while illicit drugs remain potent and available in the U.S.
Under domestic and international law, individuals suspected of a drug-related crime are entitled to a legal process. That means investigation, gathering and analyzing evidence, and holding a trial to assess their guilt – not execution.
We all want safe, healthy communities where our basic rights and freedoms are protected. At a time when Americans are struggling with the cost of living and waitlists for addiction treatment can stretch for months, our leaders should be investing in care at home, not costly violence abroad that undermines due process.
Urge Congress to support the impeachment and removal of Secretary Hegseth to hold him accountable for these lawless killings.
