Demand an End to Militarized Policing in Washington, DC
Related Article: National Guard deploys 800 personnel for DC mission, says Pentagon - wfxg.com - Friday, August 15, 2025, 4:33:24 AM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: President of the United States, Secretary of Defense, Mayor of Washington, DC, and DC City Council
Goal: We call on federal and local leaders to immediately withdraw National Guard troops from Washington, DC, and to commit to non-militarized, community-based approaches to public safety.
The deployment of National Guard troops to the US capital is an alarming response to peaceful protests and a misrepresentation of the reality on the ground. Crime statistics show that violent offenses are decreasing, yet the federal government has chosen to respond with force rather than dialogue and investment in communities.
Militarized policing does not make our communities safer. Instead, it increases fear, undermines trust, and diverts resources away from programs that address the root causes of social unrest. We urge our leaders to listen to the voices of DC residents and advocates who are calling for real solutions, not military interventions.
It's time to prioritize justice, accountability, and the well-being of all residents over displays of force. Join us in demanding an end to the militarization of policing in our nation's capital.
Key Demands
- Immediately withdraw all National Guard personnel from Washington, DC.
- End the use of military forces in response to protests and public demonstrations.
- Invest in community-based public safety initiatives and social programs.
- Increase transparency and public oversight of law enforcement actions.
- Commit to non-militarized, de-escalatory approaches to public safety.
