Target: United States Attorney General, President of the United States, Governors of West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio, and the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department
Goal: We call for an immediate end to the militarization of Washington D.C., the withdrawal of National Guard troops, and the protection of civil liberties for all residents.
The recent federal intervention in Washington D.C., marked by mass arrests and the deployment of National Guard troops from several states, raises serious concerns about the erosion of civil liberties and the unnecessary escalation of force. Attorney General Pam Bondi reported over 300 arrests, while National Guard members from West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio have been sent to the city at the request of federal authorities. This show of force is occurring despite official statistics indicating that crime rates in D.C. are at historic lows.
The use of military personnel and aggressive law enforcement tactics in our nation's capital threatens the constitutional rights of residents and sets a dangerous precedent for the use of federal power. We urge elected officials and law enforcement agencies to respect the autonomy of D.C. residents, prioritize de-escalation, and invest in community-based solutions rather than militarized crackdowns.
