Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in D.C. isn’t about safety; it’s about control. And if we stay silent, we’re giving Trump exactly what he wants.

So now, Rachel Maddow has two important questions for us:

Here’s our answer: We’re fighting back to denounce the use of the National Guard as a political weapon. But to make an impact, we need 2,000 local supporters to sign our petition to show that this country will not stand for military force being used to silence dissent.

This is only the beginning…

Trump’s promise to militarize the police and ramp up ICE presence in Democratic-led cities is already underway in Chicago and Boston.

Trump’s plan is clear: he wants to

• Criminalize communities of color.
• Crush dissenters who speak out.
• Turbocharge his efforts to keep himself and his cronies in power for GENERATIONS to come.

So this can’t wait. Trump has already brought the fight to us, and now it’s up to us to act before it’s too late.

That’s why we’re organizing a mass group of supporters to publicly denounce Trump’s use of the National Guard and his expanding crackdown on Democratic cities.

We still need 2,000 signatures dated 09/19/2025 to make it clear: we will not be intimidated and we will not stand by in silence while he dismantles our democracy. Can you sign on before closing out this email? »

This can’t wait,
