Demand Donald Trump honor his oath of office.

The President's warning that potential protesters at the military parade "will be met with very big force" is deeply concerning. Such language threatens to infringe on the constitutionally protected rights of free speech and peaceful assembly. A robust democracy depends on the ability to voice dissent without fear of violent repression. The military parade itself seems intended more as a demonstration of force than a sincere celebration of service. I urge you to firmly defend civil liberties and remind the administration of its sworn duty to uphold the Constitution, which protects the rights of all Americans to freely express their views. We cannot allow the normalization of authoritarian tactics that quash political opposition. Our nation's founding principles of freedom and democracy must be vigorously safeguarded.
