President Trump is declaring a phony “state of emergency” in Washington, D.C., federalizing the local police, and putting his cronies in charge – against the wishes of D.C.’s residents and elected leaders. [1]

It's obvious this isn't really about crime (which is at record lows in D.C. [2]), but rather a blatant attempt to make D.C. residents feel like they aren't safe in their own homes, suppress dissent, and take attention away from how Trump’s policies are leaving people worse off.

Trump is seizing power – and his administration is signaling that they will keep the National Guard ready to roll into any city or state at a moment’s notice. [3] If Congress doesn’t stop him now, nowhere will be off limits.

Lawmakers have introduced resolutions in the House and Senate to STOP Trump’s phony “emergency” and return power to D.C. officials. [4] Now it’s on all of us to demand our members of Congress act now and pass it.

To get started, click the "Make a Call" button. You'll receive a call from an 844 number. Pick up to get connected to Congress.

Once you’re connected, here’s what you could say:

"My name is ____ and I'm a constituent from [CITY] urging you to support and co-sponsor the Termination Resolution, HJ Res 115 to stop Trump's DC Takeover.

Trump’s so-called emergency in D.C. is a power grab that endangers residents who never asked for it. If Congress fails to act, nothing will stop him from taking this nationwide. Please act now. Thank you."

If no one picks up, please leave a message – it’ll count!
