Stop Trump's military parade!
Petition to Congress:
We urge you to block funding for the planned military parade in Washington D.C.
Trump is planning a $45 million military parade for his birthday. Tanks will roll through the streets of the capital. Soldiers will march. Military planes will fly over D.C.1
This is not supposed to happen in a democracy. This is what dictators do.
Congress has the power to block funding for this dangerous military show. As the White House defies the courts and breaks the law, it’s critical that our elected leaders stop such a grotesque, tank-filled parade celebrating Trump.
Sign the petition: Urge Congress to block funding for Trump’s June 14th military parade.
Trump will be using 7,000 soldiers as props, sending all sorts of military vehicles through the streets (M1A1 Abrams tanks, Bradley Fighting vehicles, Strykers and Paladins), and flying 50 military planes and helicopters overhead.2
This would be a dangerous display for a president using law enforcement, the FBI, and military to flout the rule of law and persecute his political opponents.
This is not what our taxpayer dollars should be spent on, especially as Trump and DOGE slash government services, including health care for Veterans and Social Security for seniors.
Sign the petition: Stop Trump’s tank-filled military parade!
