Fellow Democrat-
At 10:00 a.m. on Monday, Donald Trump announced an unprecedented and dangerous move: he is federalizing the DC Police and deploying the National Guard, against the will of elected leaders and the people of Washington, D.C.
Trump claims this is about crime. We know it’s not.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low . This isn’t about safety, it’s about control. This is a staged political stunt designed to seize power in the nation’s capital and send a chilling message to other cities across the country.
Trump says he is “liberating” DC, but make no mistake, he is the biggest threat to our freedom. If we don’t stop him here, he will use this same playbook to undermine democracy in cities and states everywhere, including right here at home in Massachusetts.
The DC Democratic Party is mobilizing to fight back through legal action, organizing, and national advocacy. But this fight will be long and expensive, and we need every Democrat who believes in self-governance to step up right now.
If you make a contribution [[link removed]] today, it will go directly toward defending DC’s rights, pushing back against Trump’s authoritarian power grab, and ensuring that the voices of 700,000 DC residents are heard loud and clear.
Rush a Donation to Defend DC's Rights! [[link removed]]
This is exactly the fight for democracy we’ve been warning about for years. If we all act together, we can stop this blatant attack on our freedoms and show Trump and his power-hungry gang of cronies that we will never surrender our rights.
In solidarity,
