Tell Congress: We stand with Senator Padilla
U.S. Congress

Federal agents have assaulted and handcuffed a sitting U.S. Senator. We need your helping speaking out NOW.
Here’s what we know so far: Sen. Alex Padilla of California had questions about Trump’s crackdown on his constituents in Los Angeles. So he went to Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference to ask them.
In response, he was violently shoved to the ground face-down, handcuffed, and detained. [1]
We’re closely following this story – as well as what is happening in Los Angeles – but this is a moment where every American needs to make a clear choice: do we want to be a nation of laws, or are we governed by the whims of one man?
America isn’t a dictatorship, and we won’t let Donald Trump turn us into one. Join us to speak out now.
