Target: Governor Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia
Goal: We call on Governor Patrick Morrisey to immediately halt the deployment of the West Virginia National Guard to Washington, D.C. and prioritize community-based solutions to public safety.
Governor Patrick Morrisey has announced the deployment of 300 to 400 West Virginia National Guard members to Washington, D.C., in response to a request from the Trump administration. This move, funded at the federal level, is framed as an effort to 'restore cleanliness and public safety' in the nation's capital. However, deploying military personnel for domestic policing sets a troubling precedent and diverts resources away from local communities that need them most.
While public safety is important, true safety comes from investment in communities, not from militarized responses. The use of the National Guard for law enforcement tasks risks escalating tensions and undermines civil liberties. We urge Governor Morrisey to reconsider this deployment and instead support proven, community-based approaches to public safety that respect the rights and dignity of all residents.
Key Demands
- Immediately halt the deployment of West Virginia National Guard members to Washington, D.C.
- Redirect resources toward community-based public safety initiatives within West Virginia.
- Commit to transparency in all decisions involving the use of state military personnel for domestic operations.
- Engage with local communities and experts to develop non-militarized strategies for public safety.
