Sign now to tell Congress:

Please respond to the Capitol attack by holding insurrectionists
accountable using our current laws. Do not respond by expanding our
domestic terrorism laws, which will erode our human and civil rights and
end up being used to further target and surveil Black and brown people
and religious minorities.

John,

In one of the ugliest days for our democracy, a violent mob of white
nationalists attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. We must hold these
insurrectionists accountable, along with the government officials who
incited and encouraged them.

However, in the wake of the attack, some of my colleagues in Congress are
pushing to expand our laws to investigate and prosecute acts of domestic
terrorism—measures which will actually further erode human and civil
rights.

Every time our country has increased its national security powers, they’ve
been used to disproportionately target, surveil, and criminalize
already-over-policed communities of color and religious minorities—the
same marginalized groups targeted by white nationalists.

expense of our rights. Use existing tools to hold white nationalists and
insurrectionists accountable.

To expand the government's national security powers once again at the
expense of the human and civil rights of the American people would only
serve to further undermine our democracy, not protect it.

And because justice is not equal in this country, any new domestic
terrorism legislation would end up being used to profile
already-over-policed marginalized people.

As Diala Shamas, a staff attorney with the Center for Constitutional
Rights, noted:

“Anyone familiar with the scope of surveillance and targeting of Black
political dissent, or Muslim communities, knows that law enforcement has
all the tools it needs to aggressively disrupt and hold accountable those
who planned and participated in the storming of the Capitol. Why they
didn’t raises serious questions, but it was not because their hands were
tied. We don’t need new terrorism designations.”

It’s true!

Our national government already has the tools, resources, and authority
needed to investigate and hold accountable the people who participated in
January 6th’s insurrection. The Department of Justice can use over 50
federal statutes. It's just that they are too-often used against
marginalized communities, not far-right extremists.

[ [link removed] ]Please sign now to tell Congress: In the wake of January 6th’s attack,
use existing laws, powers, and regulations to address white nationalist
and far-right extremist groups' threats to our national security. Do not
expand national security powers or laws, which would likely erode our
liberties and jeopardize our rights.

Thank you for taking action!

In solidarity,

Rashida Tlaib
