An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Stop Trump's Systematic Destruction of American Institutions

33 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

You need to act now to defend the institutions that made this country a global power. Trump's political project isn't reform — it's demolition. NATO alliances, the State Department, USAID, the civil service, public health infrastructure — these weren't bureaucratic bloat. They were the architecture of American strength, built over decades, and they are being dismantled piece by piece. The damage is real and measurable. Experienced diplomats have walked out the door. USAID's gutting hands influence directly to our competitors. Presidential scholars already rank Trump among the most damaging presidents in American history. And his strategy of turning misinformation into a governing tool — attacking courts, scientists, journalists, and election officials — doesn't just weaken government capacity. It corrodes the public trust that democracy runs on. The man who calls himself a builder is leaving behind wreckage. History will record that. What it will also record is who stood up and who stayed quiet. I need you to be vocal, visible, and relentless in opposing these attacks on the foundations of American governance — not next month, now.
