An open letter to the U.S. Congress

No Kings in America: Stand With Rep. McIver, Stop Trump’s Abuse of Power

370 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

President Trump’s administration has just filed charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver — a sitting member of Congress who was fulfilling her constitutional duty to hold power accountable. This is not justice. This is retribution. It is an authoritarian abuse of executive power that threatens the very foundation of our Republic. Congress was never meant to serve at the pleasure of a president. It was created to represent the people — to question, to challenge, and to hold power accountable. That is exactly what Rep. McIver was doing. Her voice belongs to the citizens who elected her, not to the whims of a president trying to resurrect a monarchy in everything but name. This is not a moment for silence. It is a moment for action. I am calling on you to: • Publicly denounce this abuse of power • Defend Rep. McIver’s constitutional role and the people she represents • Reassert that in America, the government serves the people — not the other way around • Introduce or co-sponsor a resolution condemning the politically motivated charges • Demand an immediate congressional investigation into any executive interference in the DOJ • Call for public testimony from DOJ and White House officials involved • Introduce legislation to protect elected officials from political retaliation and preserve DOJ independence • Organize a bipartisan statement or press conference defending Rep. McIver and democratic norms • Request emergency hearings in the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on the abuse of power • Use your platform — on the floor, online, and with constituents — to defend democratic principles • Refuse non-essential collaboration with the executive branch until democratic norms are restored We were founded in defiance of kings. The Constitution exists to restrain tyranny — not to enable it. And when the sitting President uses the justice system to punish dissent, the danger is not hypothetical. It is real, and it is now. You swore an oath to the Constitution. This is your test. In defense of the Republic,
