Social justice activist and MSNBC host Al Sharpton is calling on black churches to organize in defense of President Obama's unpopular Iran deal. Sharpton's argument: If the deal is blocked, America might be drawn into a war with Iran, which will inevitably lead to the deaths of a "disproportionate" number of African Americans.

"We have a disproportionate interest, being that if there is a war, our community is always disproportionately part of the armed services, and that a lot of the debate is by people who will not have family members who will be at risk," Sharpton told Huffington Post writer and MSNBC contributor Ryan Grim Saturday.

"I am calling on ministers in black churches nationwide to go to their pulpits Sunday and have their parishioners call their senators and congressman to vote yes on the Iran nuclear plan," said Sharpton, who regularly turns to African American churches to support his political activism. 

"There needs to be a balance in this. Clearly lobbyists and others like AIPAC are pushing on their side and there needs to be an organized effort on the other side," said Sharpton, echoing one of the president's more inflammatory talking points. "And we're kicking it off tomorrow morning."

"A lot of Democrats, I think, should have to consider how their voters will feel in their base vote," said Sharpton.

HuffPost points out that Sharpton has already gotten to work to support the president's deal by pressuring various lawmakers, including Sharpton Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and other New York Democrats. But with the poll numbers for Obama's "legacy" foreign policy deal looking worse and worse for the administration, Sharpton apparently has decided that he needs to enlist the help of others to turn the tide.
