Demand Justice for Sean Dunn: End the Militarization of D.C. and Protect the Right to Protest

Related Article: The Image That Defines Trump's Reign of Terror Is ... a Subway Sandwich? - slate.com - Friday, August 15, 2025, 5:48:31 AM Eastern Daylight Time

Target: Mayor Muriel Bowser, D.C. Council, U.S. Department of Justice, and Department of Homeland Security

Goal: Call on city and federal leaders to drop all charges against Sean Dunn, end the deployment of federal agents in D.C., and protect the right to protest without fear of intimidation or violence.

The recent arrest of Sean Dunn for a harmless act of protest against federal agents in Washington, D.C. highlights a disturbing trend: the use of overwhelming force to suppress dissent and silence voices demanding justice. We must take a stand against the criminalization of peaceful protest and the militarization of our streets.

On a recent evening in Washington, D.C., Sean Dunn—a Department of Justice employee—was arrested and charged with felony assault after throwing a Subway sandwich at a heavily armored federal agent. The video of this incident has gone viral, not because it was dangerous, but because it was a harmless, absurd act of protest against the occupation of D.C. by federal forces under the Trump administration.

This disproportionate response—13 officers arresting a man for tossing a sandwich—exposes the real purpose of the federal deployment: to intimidate and punish those who dare to speak out. There is no crime emergency in D.C. that justifies this show of force. Instead, it is an attempt to silence dissent and impose control over a city that has repeatedly rejected these tactics.

We demand that our leaders defend the rights of D.C. residents to protest without fear of militarized retaliation. We call for all charges against Sean Dunn to be dropped, for federal agents to leave our city, and for the protection of our fundamental rights to free expression and assembly.
