An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Defend democracy and constitutional checks - act now

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The American people demand that Congress take forceful action to preserve the constitutional separation of powers and democracy itself. President Trump's blatant power grab – unilaterally dismantling federal agencies, installing unqualified corporate cronies, and governing through executive overreach – is an existential threat to our republic and democratic system of checks and balances. The latest CNN poll confirms that majorities across partisan lines view Trump as going too far, corroding trust in government institutions. This reckless authoritarian conduct cannot stand. Members of Congress must listen to their constituents, uphold their sworn oaths to the Constitution, and use every available legislative tool to immediately rein in this destructive overreach before it inflicts permanent damage to the nation. The future of American democracy hinges on decisive action now to constrain this administration's abuses.
