Friend,
National Guard troops continue to roam the streets of our nation’s capitol for a third week after Donald Trump deployed them to “to crack down on crime and violence.” And they’ll soon be authorized to carry service-issued weapons.
Now, he’s threatening to deploy thousands more troops to 19 states under the guise of protecting Americans. All while he undermes life-saving gun violence prevention measures, putting lives further at risk.
We cannot remain quiet while he marches our country toward authoritarianism. I’m calling on you to condemn President Trump's takeover of Washington, D.C. >>

President Trump claims that crime in Washington, D.C., is at an all-time high – this is a lie to justify armed intimidation and over-policing.
|
This is the same Trump who inspired a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and proceeded to pardon the violent criminals who were convicted in the attack.
|
Crime in D.C. was at a 30-year low when Trump took office. This is directly thanks to the investment that the Biden Administration made in community-based violence intervention groups in D.C. and its passage of the historic Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
|
Donald Trump is not only ignoring the facts, but is dismantling the life-saving actions that Biden took to keep Americans safe from gun violence. We won't let Trump make a mockery of our troops, our cities, and our country – please, condemn Trump’s dangerous takeover of U.S. cities NOW. >>

Thank you for standing up for justice.
