An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Halt unconstitutional overreach, protect democratic norms and federal services

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The actions taken by President Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) pose a severe threat to the foundations of American democracy. By unilaterally dismantling federal agencies, freezing funds, and breaching citizens' private data, they have overstepped constitutional boundaries and undermined Congress's power of the purse. This brazen assault on long-established norms and the separation of powers cannot stand. Immediate intervention is needed to halt these unlawful actions and preserve the checks and balances vital to our democratic system of government. The American people rely on essential federal services and programs that are now being recklessly jeopardized for an ideological agenda. We urge you to take decisive legislative action to rein in this administration's disturbing overreach and safeguard the integrity of our institutions.
