Friend,
We’re seeing authoritarianism unfold before our eyes. Donald Trump has taken direct control of Washington, D.C.’s police department — something no president has ever done in our nation’s history.
Now he's preparing to do the same in cities across the country and is pushing Congress to make his federal takeover in DC permanent.
This isn’t about keeping people safe. In fact, violent crime in D.C. is at historic lows. This is about consolidating power and stripping authority from local communities to hand it to a president who has shown time and again that he believes the rules don’t apply to him.
If Trump can do this to D.C., what’s to stop him — or any future president — from declaring a so-called “emergency” and seizing control of police in any American city? That’s not public safety. That’s authoritarianism, plain and simple.
We must push back immediately and show that the American people will not tolerate this kind of power grab. Please add your name to our petition now to show you oppose Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s police force >> [[link removed]]

If we allow this precedent to stand, it won’t end here. Local control, civil liberties, and democracy itself will be on the line in communities across the country.
Speak up now before this becomes the norm in America. [[link removed]]
