Target: President of the United States, U.S. Congress, Department of Defense

Goal: We urge the federal government to respect state and local authority over the National Guard and to cease the deployment of military forces to suppress constitutionally protected protests.

Recent actions by the federal government to deploy and federalize the National Guard in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., threaten local autonomy and the right to peaceful protest. The ongoing trial in San Francisco highlights the urgent need to protect communities from unnecessary militarization and federal intervention.

The deployment of the National Guard by federal authorities in response to protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Los Angeles is a troubling escalation. This action undermines local decision-making and the rights of residents to peacefully assemble and express dissent. The simultaneous deployment of 800 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to control the capital's police department further demonstrates a pattern of federal overreach.

Local leaders and communities are best positioned to address public safety and respond to demonstrations in a manner that respects civil liberties. Federal intervention risks inflaming tensions, eroding trust, and violating the principles of democracy and local governance. We call on elected officials and policymakers to uphold the rights of states and cities to manage their own affairs without undue interference.
