I’m writing to urge you to support immediate reforms to the Insurrection Act. President Trump’s threats to deploy the U.S. military in American cities under this outdated law are a grave danger to democracy and civil rights. Congress must act to require legislative approval for any domestic troop deployment over 14 days, ensure judicial oversight, and make clear that peaceful protest is never grounds for military action. And public transparency must be required. Please take a stand to protect our freedoms and the Constitutional balance of power, before it’s too late.
