Stop the Militarization of Washington D.C.: Oppose National Guard Deployment
Related Article: National Guard Mobilization for Washington D.C.: A Controversial Deployment | Law-Order - devdiscourse.com - Saturday, August 16, 2025, 3:26:21 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: Governor Patrick Morrisey, President of the United States, and Congressional leadership
Goal: We call for the immediate reversal of the National Guard deployment to Washington D.C. and demand respect for the autonomy and rights of D.C. residents.
The Trump administration’s request for National Guard troops in Washington D.C., and Governor Patrick Morrisey’s compliance, sets a dangerous precedent for the use of military force in civilian contexts. With D.C. crime rates at a 30-year low, this deployment is not only unnecessary but also threatens the rights and safety of residents. The presence of armed troops in public spaces like the National Mall and Union Station creates an atmosphere of intimidation and fear rather than security. Furthermore, this action undermines the authority of D.C.’s locally elected officials, as highlighted by Attorney General Brian Schwalb’s legal challenge to federal control of the city’s police department. We must stand together to defend democracy, civil liberties, and local self-governance.
Key Demands
- Immediately withdraw all National Guard troops from Washington D.C.
- Respect the authority of D.C.'s locally elected officials over public safety and policing.
- End the use of military force in civilian protests and public gatherings.
- Commit to transparency and public input before any future deployment of armed forces in D.C.
- Support D.C. statehood and full representation for its residents.
