Friend,
Federal agents are swarming DC on Trump’s orders. Already, hundreds
of people, mostly Black and brown immigrants, have been disappeared
from their neighborhoods.
DC residents want federal forces out of DC
now.1
The good news: Our champions Rep. Jamie Raskin and Sen. Chris Van
Hollen have introduced a joint resolution to terminate Trump’s fascist
takeover of Washington, DC.
But because DC doesn’t have equal representation in Congress, we
need our allies like you across the country to step up now.
Use
our email tool to send a message to your Representative and Senators
demanding they support this resolution to get federal forces out of
DC.
As Jews, we know how dangerous it is when authoritarians use the
military and disinformation to take over communities. This is
something that no democracy should ever allow.
If Trump can take over DC without pushback from Congress,
none of our cities are safe. That’s why it’s so important
that we all raise our voices to stand up for Washington, DC.
DC is home to 700,000 people including families, children, seniors,
workers, and people of every age, race, ability, and faith. These
communities are joyful, powerful, and they deserve dignity — not
police brutality.
Tell
your Representative and Senators that they need to take action now to
stop this dictatorial power grab and to protect the people of
DC.
In solidarity,
 Rachel Laforest

Officer, Bend the Arc
