Goal: We call for immediate transparency, oversight, and the protection of civil rights in response to the increased federal and military presence in Washington, D.C.
The deployment of National Guard troops from multiple states to Washington, D.C., in response to a declared 'crime emergency' has resulted in mass arrests and a show of military force in our nation's capital. While public safety is important, the use of military personnel in civilian law enforcement threatens constitutional rights and risks escalating tensions. Reports indicate that troops may soon be armed and take on more active roles, raising the specter of further militarization and potential abuses of power.
We must ensure that all law enforcement actions respect the rights of residents and visitors, and that there is full transparency regarding the scope and conduct of these operations. The community must not be subjected to intimidation or excessive force under the guise of public safety. We demand that elected officials and relevant agencies uphold civil liberties, provide public accountability, and limit the use of military personnel in civilian contexts.
