Restore Local Control of Washington D.C.'s Police Force

Target: United States Department of Justice and the President of the United States

Goal: We call for the immediate restoration of local control over the Metropolitan Police Department and the withdrawal of federal forces from Washington D.C.

The recent federal takeover of Washington D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department undermines local democracy and sets a dangerous precedent for federal overreach.

On the heels of recent actions by the Trump administration, Washington D.C.'s elected officials and residents have been stripped of their authority over the Metropolitan Police Department. The deployment of 800 National Guard troops and the imposition of federal control over the city's police force represents a direct violation of local autonomy and the democratic rights of D.C. residents. This move, justified by claims of fighting violent crime, disregards the voices and expertise of local leaders and communities.

We believe that public safety is best achieved through community-based solutions and democratic accountability, not through militarization or federal intervention. The people of Washington D.C. deserve the right to govern their own city and police force without interference.
