Target: Governor Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia, President Donald Trump, and relevant federal authorities
Goal: We call for an immediate halt to the deployment of West Virginia National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., and demand respect for local autonomy and democratic governance.
The Trump administration's move to send National Guard troops to Washington, D.C. under the pretext of a 'crime and homelessness emergency' is not supported by the facts. U.S. Justice Department data shows that violent crime in D.C. is at its lowest in three decades. This deployment, alongside attempts to take over the city's police department, undermines the self-governance of D.C. residents and sets a dangerous precedent for federal overreach in other cities.
Such actions threaten the democratic rights of local communities to manage their own affairs, and risk escalating tensions rather than promoting public safety. We urge Governor Morrisey and federal authorities to immediately halt this deployment, respect the autonomy of D.C., and commit to transparent, community-based solutions to public safety challenges.
Key Demands
- Immediately halt the deployment of West Virginia National Guard troops to Washington, D.C.
- Respect the autonomy and self-governance of the District of Columbia and its local officials.
- Cease all attempts at federal takeover of local police departments without community consent.
- Commit to transparency and public accountability in all decisions regarding National Guard deployments.
- Prioritize investment in community-based public safety initiatives over militarized responses.
