    Stop Trump’s far-right takeover!

    Petition to Congress:
    We urge you to protect the American people from the domestic deployment of military forces and the violation of First Amendment rights to dissent. Please protect people from politically-motivated prosecutions and the criminalization of protest in America.

    Trump is sending election monitors to California and New Jersey who could seize ballot boxes and fix the election for him.1 MAGA loyalists like Ted Cruz are pushing legislation to criminalize the No Kings protests.2 Trump's masked ICE gangs have turned Chicago and Portland into warzones. And now Trump says he's ready to send "more than the National Guard" to further escalate his violent invasions into American cities.3

    Trump is moving rapidly toward an authoritarian takeover before the 2026 midterms. He said this week that he'd "love" an unconstitutional 3rd term.4 He's consolidating his fierce grip on power by getting private MAGA donors to help him demolish parts of the White House and pay some military salaries during the government shutdown.5

    Congress must take immediate action to end Trump's invasions and protect democracy from his far-right takeover of our country.

    Sign the petition: Block Trump's authoritarian regime from ending American democracy and stop his violent, masked ICE gangs.

    Trump is pursuing every possible avenue to silence his critics and punish political opponents: prosecution, violence, and authoritarianism.

    Even Republicans are calling out Trump's oppressive tactics. Senator Rand Paul said Trump is ruling by threat: "Oppose me or my policies and I'll come after you."6

    Trump and his regime of dangerous right-wing sycophants are a threat to our government and democracy, and they are not stopping until they have absolute power or our leaders in Congress block his takeover.

    Congress must act immediately to end Trump's strongman rule.

    Sign the petition: End Trump's military takeover and dangerous political persecutions now!
