An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Trump's authoritarian power grab imperils democracy, action required

22 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Our democracy is in grave peril. President Trump's attempt to seize control of federal spending and empower his billionaire ally Elon Musk poses an existential threat to our system of checks and balances. By sidelining Congress and consolidating financial power in the executive branch, Trump seeks to establish an authoritarian regime that enriches the wealthy elite at the expense of the American people. This is a blatant power grab cloaked in chaos and false rhetoric. Freezing vital programs that aid vulnerable communities, slashing taxes for the ultra-rich, and undermining public institutions all serve Trump's goal of solidifying his personal dominance. His actions have already destabilized the global economy and jeopardized millions of American livelihoods. We cannot allow this coup to succeed. Our constitutional democracy was established to uphold the will of the people, not the whims of an aspiring dictator and his cronies. Congress must reassert its authority over federal spending and impeach Trump before his abuses utterly dissolve our nation's founding principles. The rule of law and the future of our republic hang in the balance. The American people deserve far better than this plutocratic pillaging by a president who governs solely to accumulate wealth and power for himself and his enablers. We call on all those who cherish freedom and democracy to demand Trump's removal from office before it is too late. Inaction in the face of this authoritarian onslaught will imperil everything our nation stands for.
