Target: President of the United States, Congress, and the Department of Justice
Goal: We call for an immediate end to federal overreach in D.C. policing, restoration of local control, and progress toward full democratic representation for D.C. residents.
Washington, D.C. residents have witnessed a dramatic change in their city following the federal government's decision to take control of the Metropolitan Police Department and deploy the National Guard. This move, justified as a 'crime crackdown,' has not only failed to address the root causes of public safety concerns but has also led to a significant economic impact, with restaurant attendance dropping by up to 31% according to OpenTable data.
Federal intervention has further disenfranchised D.C. residents, who already lack voting representation in Congress. The presence of federal law enforcement and military forces has escalated tensions, disrupted daily life, and undermined trust in local institutions. Residents have responded with protests, demanding respect for their rights and a return to local governance.
It is time to respect the will of D.C.'s people, restore their autonomy, and work toward full democratic rights. We urge policymakers to listen to the voices of D.C. residents and take immediate action to end federal overreach and advance D.C. statehood.
Key Demands
- Immediately end federal control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and withdraw National Guard troops from the city.
- Restore full local authority over policing and public safety to D.C.'s elected officials.
- Commit to protecting the civil liberties and democratic rights of D.C. residents.
- Advance legislation to grant D.C. statehood and full voting representation in Congress.
- Engage with D.C. community leaders to address public safety through investment in social services and community-based solutions.
