Supporting the repeal of the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force

Madison Monthly Meeting, Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), supports the repeal of the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force, in line with our Quaker belief to ‘take away the occasion for all wars.’ We believe the 2002 AUMF is no longer relevant, allows our government to misuse its power and diverts funding that would be better used to help solve social problems. Repeal will also help reassert Congressional authority to determine if and when the United States goes to war. We encourage our individual Members to support the repeal and also send messages to their congresspersons that they must end endless wars.
