Dear MoveOn member,

Trump is illegally abducting people and defying the Supreme Court to do it. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a father and union worker, was abducted from his Maryland home and illegally deported to a megaprison in El Salvador. Even after a unanimous 9-0 ruling from the Supreme Court ordering his return, the Trump administration refuses to comply.¹ Trump has already signaled that he’s considering sending U.S. citizens to prison in El Salvador. We need to mobilize now to bring Kilmar home and end Trump’s power abuses.²

That's why we're taking action next week to demand Republicans speak out against Trump's power abuses and put an end to these cruel violations of basic civil rights. Here's how you can take action:

Will you sign up to host a recess event next week to show your community will not tolerate Trump’s abductions and power abuses?

Whether it’s a speak-out at your representative’s office or a honk-and-wave event on a busy street corner, your voice matters. New to organizing an event? No worries! MoveOn staff will be ready to support you every step of the way with organizing coaches and training support for all hosts.

Allowing the administration to disregard the rights of people like Kilmar is an affront to all of us. Without due process, the attack on him today might be an attack on your family tomorrow. Stand up to Trump—host an event next week to end the abductions and to return Kilmar to his family.

Can’t commit to hosting an event next week? We’re also making calls this Tuesday night at 6 PM ET/5 CT/4 MT/3 PT to fellow MoveOn members, inviting them to contact their representatives and demand they bring Kilmar home and do everything in their power to stop the lawless abductions. Click here to RSVP for the phone bank on Tuesday, April 22 at 6 PM ET/5 CT/4 MT/3 PT.

We can’t sit on the sidelines while Trump disappears our neighbors and dares the courts to stop him. Whether you host an event in your community or join our Tuesday phone bank to rally more voices, your involvement helps build the pressure we need to bring Kilmar home and stop these escalating attacks on our rights. Every person who speaks out makes it harder for Trump to push forward his agenda and harder for Republicans to ignore Trump’s blatant abuse of power.

We have the power to bring Kilmar home, but only if we use it. Will you sign up to organize a recess action next week to show that Trump’s tests of power won’t go unanswered?

Trump doesn’t get to rewrite the rule of law, trample the courts, and abduct our community members without expecting our resistance. Our communities, our constitutional rights, and the future of our country demand that we answer Trump’s abuses with powerful resistance. Let’s show Trump and every member of Congress that we are not afraid and we won’t back down. Take action right now by signing up for our national phone bank this Tuesday, April 22 at 6 PM ET/5 CT/4 MT/3 PT.

Thanks for all you do.
