John, all across the country today state capitols and federal
court houses are on lock-down, bracing for planned attacks by Trump
supporters egged on and abetted by the President himself.

Typically, many schools, roads, court houses, and other federal
buildings and properties get renamed in honor of former Presidents over
the years following their service. But last week, Donald Trump was
impeached for inciting an insurrection and his words are threatening
federal buildings nationwide, costing millions in extra security and
putting lives -- and democracy -- at risk.

That's why to move this country forward from the devastatingly criminal
and dangerous Trump administration, we must take action to limit the
reach of Trump's legacy in every way possible. One of the easiest, and
yet also most important, is to not memorialize Trump with statues,
buildings and roads named in his honor.

any federal property. Add your name NOW to our petition calling on every
member of Congress to join him in making it law.

We will deliver on the promise of change and it starts with
accountability for everyone who tried to bring our government down...
including Donald Trump. Thank you for building momentum for action by
adding your name today.

John,

Representative Joaquin Castro is preparing to introduce legislation that
will keep Donald Trump’s name off of our federal property.

That’s right, we can ban the man who loves to see his name in lights from
seeing it on any of our federal buildings.

We cannot allow a person who had his base of white supremacists attack our
country to ever have the honor of his name being on any of our federal
property.

name off of our federal property.

[ [link removed] ]ADD YOUR NAME

As a perpetually failed businessman, Trump is used to having his name
prominently placed on various towers, hotels, and casinos; but with what
we witnessed over the last four years and last week when Trump incited an
insurrection against our country we must begin to wash away the stains of
his hate by never honoring his name.

And as Rep. Castro pointed out, we cannot let Trump become a future
generation’s confederate symbol.

We have worked so hard to remove statues and rename buildings that honor
leaders of the confederacy.

Instead of working retroactively, we can be proactive and ensure from the
start that this twice impeached president has absolutely no chance to use
his name to continue spreading hate and division.

building.

Thank you for raising your voice on this today.
