Stop feds from designating 'anarchist jurisdictions'

Presumably, in response to local ongoing protests against police violence and 1st amendment rights violations, Barr, Vought, and Wolf are threatening to declare Seattle, Portland, and NYC 'anarchist jurisdictions' so that they can justify withholding federal grants. This threat by representatives of this president is a clear abuse of power and it cannot be allowed to happen. On the ground, our cities are quiet except for tiny pockets of protest locations where the police and white supremacists have promulgated the vast majority of the violence. Please do whatever you can to prevent any act that punishes any city for resisting fascist acts and police brutality. We need you to fight for equality now more than ever.
