Target: President of the United States, U.S. Department of Justice, Congress, and District of Columbia officials
Goal: Restore full local control of D.C. policing, end the militarization of the city, and protect the constitutional rights of all residents.
The federal government's recent actions in Washington, D.C. – including the deployment of over 1,500 National Guard troops and the attempted federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department – represent an alarming encroachment on local governance and civil liberties. Official crime statistics show that violent crime in D.C. has reached a 30-year low, yet these facts have been dismissed to justify an emergency declaration and military intervention.
Legal experts, city officials, and D.C. residents have voiced strong opposition to these measures, citing the lack of a legitimate emergency and the harmful impact of a militarized police presence on community trust and safety. The Constitution guarantees due process and limits on state power; these rights must not be suspended under the pretext of manufactured crises.
We demand an immediate end to the federal occupation and restoration of local control over D.C. policing. We call for transparency in crime data reporting and for the protection of all residents' civil liberties. Join us in standing up for democracy, local autonomy, and justice in our nation's capital.
Key Demands
- Immediately withdraw all National Guard troops from Washington, D.C. and end the federal occupation.
- Restore full and independent control of the Metropolitan Police Department to local D.C. authorities.
- Cease any further attempts at federal takeover or interference in D.C. policing and governance.
- Ensure transparency and integrity in crime data reporting, with independent oversight to prevent manipulation.
- Uphold and protect the constitutional rights of all D.C. residents, including the right to due process and freedom from excessive force.
- Hold public hearings to investigate the justification and impact of federal intervention in D.C.
