[Take Action]: This single decision from Washington could be devastating for millions of Yemenis

Take action by signing Oxfam’s petition | [Oxfam] Friend, Yemenis have seen their country destroyed over the last seven years of civil war. The last thing they need is politicians in Washington making reckless decisions that could make it even more difficult for them to meet their most basic needs. Yet, despite the known implications for Yemen’s economy and people, the Biden administration is considering reinstating a designation of the Houthis as a terrorist organization.

Yes, the Houthis have committed horrendous atrocities, just like all sides to the conflict, but designating them as a terrorist group would only compound the suffering of Yemenis and is unlikely to change the actions of the Houthis. Rather than moving ahead with this designation, Oxfam calls for the US to support new, independent accountability mechanisms and a renewed focus on a political settlement to the conflict. [Sign on and demand that the Biden administration protect the lives of Yemenis.](113/cssrH04/VWXqnp8-VZ3bW14C1WM7Vqq6dW4bWRWk4FJ77pM9V8jp5nCTJV3Zsc37CgXccW3tCLXH862K1nW7HJPsF8VSr4bN8LgLXDTXydcW8wxC_02DNFnZW590Nq53Dm5r1V8CBgL7DVwZSW33HPlm8qBdshV-Qvz78r0D0SW8sY8pp5WGYJyVJ9wML2ZzdGmW1DVytF3J5MGZW6srZFS3mPFb8W8S4VWz49hrLCW3pPVsN9bKR02V3jNNc5Ccj_XW7MsxRq6nmhZVW8ZT2lp1FTrk1W398Y_p6xKjtQW5yrSpJ7H3tbDW533v4V8gmwLRW3lqpJG5gXMq1W5XBjld4YN6WqW1CJMq88X89LlW5fCQHg7QynMJW84gFL62648LQW8Rk6l863RNsQW64VNY68_BzcTW8cjPxC7dKs5-W132bkz2VktvqW4t76yw6gRqPBW7Bf_Wj6Y08FhV7vXCG3w9HvS3j7r1) [ADD MY NAME](113/cssrH04/VWXqnp8-VZ3bW14C1WM7Vqq6dW4bWRWk4FJ77pM9V8kV5nCW9V3Zsc37CgJY7W3yHLy_552MJfW86TV183kMRv6W5t7Ml35Wv9BDVzPGJ48jCPNsW1m4BMy2LVX9lV6Y43p40TlC5V8nYM26HpJ8NW1QYjBX2W3dRPW9fk3qC6TfXM2W2lnLkg8MhwzlW9h_1hw5crls8W26y57R3TnVYkN1fM27jQZRWFW622H_C2bVvJqW3QJGxZ4G6KxGW9c2q9x176t41W6PyPgM2DsYRZW5zxPx79l1pcnW4FKGmw4s55WCW2xRsBP7vmrpmW1tbdtD2f3DPWW2t5GQ47THYZ1W49pvYB4rZSxhN1gYc_lNMJKqW552pTm6KrN2yW8kVxlD9jQR0YW6mcXNN5zGW1dW41Td-B70z3DdW5X4G9d7qd4TQVDn1fK4SSgT0W5TbY_V2WzWNTW8bHz5F5hyBd-W2JX4q93wpXQpW7tnb_y2JLlYfW3pFZT94BtjSfW1rBWX08YyxsVW1zqTgp3-XqCVW1xpy8p6Z2z2-W8Mk6PL6-FmF4W5SFX937Rfp9LW5702GH3C64rrVPfNXr88NGrm3ctR1) We’ve already seen what this would mean for innocent Yemenis: When this terrorist designation went into effect last year, we saw dramatic cutbacks in imports of food, medicine, and other vital commodities. And now, as at least five million Yemenis are just one step away from famine, this could condemn them to even more suffering. Friend, Yemen continues to experience one of the world’s most acute humanitarian crises, and this decision has the potential to create even more suffering after years of violent conflict, economic crisis, hunger, and preventable disease. The stakes are incredibly high and we refuse to be silent.
