An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Support the termination resolution and get troops out of DC

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I’m calling to ask the Congresspersons to support the Termination Resolution, HJ Res 115, that Senator Chris Van Hollen and Congressman Jamie Raskin introduced last Friday.” “Van Hollen and Raskin’s Termination Resolution is a provision within the Home Rule Act that allows Congress to move quickly to overturn Trump’s authoritarian power-grab in DC and restore a balance of power. I am calling to ask your member of Congress to support this resolution as quickly and urgently as possible.” “Trump’s use of the Emergency Resolution is an unjust power grab. This has nothing to do with safety in DC or the country as a whole. DC’s residents and elected leaders have not asked for this — and it’s dangerous for them.” “DC’s safety improves most when DC’s elected leaders have the most power. Crime is at a 30-year low, and violent crime is down 26% since last year.” “Trump is attempting a hostile takeover of the U.S. capital. He believes that if he can spread lies about our communities, he can get away with anything. MAGA is attacking our democracy by undermining DC’s right to represent themselves, and they are forcing the military within DC’s borders, against the wishes of the people of DC, directly threatening DC families and communities.” “Trump’s actions in DC are just the tip of the iceberg. Trump has openly declared his intent to expand to other cities around the country. And he’s threatening to extend the federal takeover beyond even the 30 day limit.” “The Termination Resolution is essential to show Trump that we won’t stand for authoritarian power grabs in the United States.
