Rally support to pass robust laws like the Stop Arming Human Rights Abusers Act (SAHRAA) or similar.
Build a coalition that moves a durable human-rights guardrails bill from introduction to real votes. Focus on specific, enforceable mechanics—like automatic restrictions for serious abuses and stronger congressional approval standards—so the rules persist beyond a single administration. This is a longer-horizon strategy, but it sets the baseline that makes oversight and enforcement repeatable.
Why this works
- Enshrines human rights conditions in law, not just policy preference – a game changer.
- A commission provides an ongoing mechanism beyond one-off fights.
- There is bipartisan moral sentiment to leverage (e.g.
- many were appalled by Khashoggi’s murder and Yemen atrocities).
Win Without War
AdvocacyProgressive coalition advocating for a more peaceful U.S. foreign policy
Win Without War is a national advocacy coalition, founded in 2002 in the run-up to the Iraq War, that works to promote a more peaceful and progressive U.S. foreign policy. The coalition includes dozens of organizations and mobilizes grassroots activists to influence Congress and the executive branch.
Mechanism
How Win Without War uses funding
- Define the objective: which guardrails and oversight mechanisms the bill must include.
- Draft and refine language with coalition input and legislative constraints in mind.
- Brief lawmakers and staff; align validators who can speak to the documented harms.
- Track committee calendars and votes; coordinate outreach to decision windows.
- Close the loop by documenting outcomes and an iteration plan across sessions.
