Target: U.S. Department of Justice and Congress

Goal: Restore and protect the autonomy of Washington, D.C.'s police department, ensuring that local communities have the power to oversee their own law enforcement.

Washington, D.C.'s right to self-governance was threatened when federal authorities took control of the city's police department, undermining the will of local residents and their elected officials.

The recent federal takeover of Washington, D.C.'s police department set a dangerous precedent for undermining local democracy and self-determination. The people of D.C. deserve the right to govern their own city, including oversight of their police force, without interference from federal authorities. While a deal has been reached following legal action, we must ensure that such hostile takeovers never happen again. We call on the Department of Justice and Congress to respect D.C.'s autonomy and pass legislation protecting the rights of local communities to control their own policing.

Key Demands

Enact legislation to prevent federal takeovers of local police departments without the consent of local elected officials.
Affirm and expand the self-governance rights of Washington, D.C. residents.
Establish clear guidelines limiting federal intervention in local law enforcement matters.
Ensure transparency and accountability in any future federal-local law enforcement collaboration.
