Target: U.S. Congress, Department of Justice, and Washington D.C. Mayor
Goal: Restore local control of Washington D.C.'s police and ensure law enforcement respects constitutional rights.
The decision to place Washington D.C.'s police under federal control, as reported by multiple news outlets, raises serious concerns about the erosion of local democracy and the potential for civil rights violations. Federal intervention in local policing undermines the ability of D.C. residents to hold their law enforcement accountable and threatens to escalate tensions during times of protest and public dissent.
This move sets a dangerous precedent for the use of federal power against peaceful assembly and free speech. We call on elected officials and policymakers to restore local control, uphold constitutional protections, and ensure law enforcement serves the people—not political interests.
