Capitol Hill Protest Demands “Not One Dime More for Trump’s Illegal Iran War”

HeadlineMar 19, 2026

Outside of the Capitol building, lawmakers joined antiwar activists at a memorial display of backpacks and children’s shoes, commemorating the more than 200 children who have reportedly died in U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran. This is Illinois Democratic Congressmember Delia Ramirez.

Rep. Delia Ramirez: “From Palestine to Iran, our bombs are killing women. They’re killing children, little girls who are yearning to learn. And they’re displacing thousands and thousands and thousands, because from Cuba to Lebanon, our government — our governments, are violating U.S. and international law.”
