Target: Members of Congress and the Department of Justice
Goal: Prevent the misuse of federal power to suppress protests and protect the autonomy of local law enforcement in Washington DC.
We are alarmed by the current efforts to assert federal control over Washington DC's police and to deploy the National Guard based on manufactured emergencies. These actions set a dangerous precedent, undermining the autonomy of local government and threatening the right to peaceful assembly. Political experts warn that such measures are designed to create the infrastructure for repression, potentially silencing dissent and undermining free and fair elections. We urge our elected officials to take immediate action to safeguard democratic norms, uphold civil liberties, and ensure that local communities retain control over their own policing.
Key Demands
- Reject any federal attempts to take over Washington DC's local police force without legitimate cause and local consent.
- Prohibit the deployment of the National Guard in DC for political purposes or to suppress peaceful protest.
- Pass legislation affirming the autonomy of local law enforcement in the District of Columbia.
- Conduct a congressional investigation into any efforts to manufacture emergencies for the purpose of suppressing dissent.
- Protect the right to peaceful assembly and protest as guaranteed by the Constitution.
