An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Defend the American people from Trump’s authoritarian overreach!

3,524 so far! Help us get to 5,000 signers!

Since the moment President Donald Trump took office, we have witnessed an assault of authoritarian policies on our democracy. He has unleashed a barrage of executive orders targeting the communities most in need of protection—including transgender youth, immigrants, working-class Americans, and more—while dismantling programs that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. These actions are stripping away essential protections and will undoubtedly lead to further divisiveness and violence in our communities. Trump's likely illegal memos to freeze funding and even close entire government agencies have already caused irreparable harm. Tens of thousands of civil servants are facing job loss and financial insecurity. The key programs that keep vulnerable Americans afloat by providing assistance for housing, nutrition, child care, and more have been disrupted. These actions, which mirror the calculated agenda outlined in Project 2025, are likely an illegal act of political theater meant to create chaos and fear. Our democracy is in danger. Americans are depending on Congress to protect our rights, freedoms, and livelihood. I write today demanding that you take immediate and decisive action to protect your constituents. In the face of authoritarian threats, it is your responsibility to ensure that the interests of the American people are safeguarded. I urge you to stand firm against this blatant assault on our democracy and do everything in your power to defend the American people from this authoritarian overreach.
