Friend —

We’ve been leading the call for Donald Trump to cancel his speech at West Point for over a week. First, we condemned Trump’s actions on Twitter — his preferred platform — and started the calls to cancel the trip online.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth and Rep. Ted Lieu joined us in demanding he cancel the appearance to avoid putting 1,000 graduating cadets in danger of contracting COVID-19 from traveling around the ceremony.

Sen. Duckworth spoke up again with this powerful statement over the weekend:

"Trump's reckless decision to gather 1,000 Cadets at West Point for a speech puts our future military leaders at increased risk — all to stroke his own ego. Our troops need stable, consistent leadership during volatile times like these, not a Commander-in-Chief who values his own photo ops and TV ratings over their health and safety."

So far over 25,000 veterans and allies have signed the petition calling on Trump to cancel his appearance at West Point. But we’re still missing your signature. Will you add your name to join them and Sen. Duckworth today?

Trump and his enablers are not backing down. We need to keep up the pressure on this issue. Thanks for signing the petition today.
