John -

On Saturday, Donald Trump ordered the National Guard to Los Angeles to
repress protesters standing up for their neighbors against aggressive and
militarized ICE immigration raids. And, Trump did it over the objections
of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, in an alarming breach of state
sovereignty.^1

As protests against ICE ramp up across the country, governors in other
states will be called upon to deploy the National Guard — or risk Trump
overriding them, too.

Silencing protest with military might is extreme government overreach.
It’s unconstitutional. And it’s profoundly dangerous to allow this to go
unchecked.

John, you can help stand up for our right to protest injustice.

calls to deploy the National Guard, and oppose any efforts by Trump to
override their authority to deploy the National Guard himself?

The Trump White House is fabricating an excuse to abuse power and force a
confrontation that starts — but does not end — with scapegoating
immigrants.

It’s a deliberate tactic: Manufacture violence, then point the finger at
the people they attacked, while distracting from the economic and social
harms the government is causing elsewhere. We’ve seen fossil fuel
proponents use this tactic to block climate progress, too.

As climate activists, we understand that immigration and the climate
crisis are deeply connected.

Our country’s reckless emissions have caused a climate crisis that is a
driver of migration. We cannot claim to stand for climate justice if we
turn our backs on immigrants once the flood waters recede — and we cannot
allow Trump’s cruel immigration policies to go unopposed.

The protests in LA and across the country show the strength of everyday
people. The protests didn’t appear out of thin air; they are the result of
months, years, and decades of community organizing. They’re the result of
progressive movements standing shoulder to shoulder and declaring: There
is no climate justice, there is no economic justice, there is no racial
justice without migrant justice.

We must stand with everyone fighting for human rights and dignity. We must
stand on the side of protesters exercising their right to free speech. We
must call on our elected leaders to uphold our Constitutional right to
protest.

to deploy the National Guard to silence protesters and round up families
today.
