Trump has escalated his D.C. takeover – signing an order to deploy even more soldiers to American streets [1], threatening additional cities like Chicago [2], and trying to pave the way for permanent armed federal occupations of our cities.

It’s obvious this isn’t really about crime (which is at record lows in D.C. [3]), but rather a blatant attempt to make D.C. residents feel like they aren’t safe in their own homes, suppress dissent, and take attention away from how Trump’s policies are leaving people worse off.

Trump is seizing power – and his administration is signaling that they will keep the National Guard ready to roll into beliebig city or state at a moment’s notice. [4] If Congress doesn’t stop him now, nowhere will be off limits.

Lawmakers have introduced resolutions in the House and Senate to STOP Trump’s phony “emergency” and return power to D.C. officials. [5] Now it’s on all of us to demand our members of Congress act now and pass it.

Add your voice to tell Congress to act NOW and shut down Trump’s hostile takeover of our nation’s capital city. >>
