An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Protect democracy, condemn authoritarian abuses, uphold Constitution

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

America has clearly crossed a dangerous line into authoritarianism under the current administration. The weaponization of federal agencies against critics and political opponents is deeply alarming, as is the administration's blatant attempts to consolidate power and silence dissent. The unjustified arrests of judges, deportations without due process, and politically-motivated firings and prosecutions represent an egregious violation of constitutional principles and the rule of law. I implore you to take immediate action to rein in this administration's abuses and uphold your sworn duty to the Constitution. The American people rely on you to be a robust check on executive overreach and to defend our democratic norms and civil liberties. Anything less than forceful condemnation and decisive action to curb these authoritarian tendencies is an abdication of your responsibilities. History will not look kindly on those who remained complicit through inaction during this disturbing erosion of our democratic foundations. The time to speak out and take concrete steps to restore democratic accountability is now, before it is too late. Upholding the rule of law must be the highest priority.
