An open letter to the U.S. Congress

American Citizens Shouldn’t Have to Prove Themselves to a Wannabe Dictator

3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

How much longer are you going to stand by while Trump dismantles American democracy in broad daylight? His executive order demanding proof of citizenship to vote is nothing more than a calculated, fascist attack on the most fundamental right we have. If you do not act immediately, you are complicit in allowing Trump to rig the system before our very eyes. This is not about election integrity. It’s about silencing millions of Americans — immigrants, people of color, the elderly, married women, and low-income voters — who may struggle to obtain the necessary documentation. There is NO widespread voter fraud. This is a lie, a smokescreen, a desperate power grab from a man who has already tried to overturn a fair election once and will not hesitate to do it again. Do you think history will look kindly on those who stood by and let this happen? Do you think your legacy will survive if you fail to act while Trump systematically erases the foundation of our democracy? This is not the time for caution or political gamesmanship—this is the moment to fight like hell. You must do everything in your power to stop this. Introduce legislation, cut off funding, back every legal challenge, and make it clear that this order will not stand. If you do nothing, you are not just failing your constituents—you are betraying the very principles this country was built on. If you will not fight back, then step aside for those who will. The American people will not forget who defended democracy—and who let it die. Act now. Before it’s too late.
