Thousands of National Guard troops have already been deployed to cities across the country — where Trump has ordered them to do everything from “protecting” Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities to assisting law enforcement efforts.

Communities are on edge and people are scared. No matter, Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and mobilize even more troops against civilians.

No matter which way you cut it, it’s NOT what our cities wanted or asked for. It’s NOT what our servicemembers signed up for. And, it’s NOT making anyone, anywhere, any safer.

Every governor in the country now faces the same choice: Push back against these domestic deployments, or allow the Trump takeover to continue.

We’re not leaving it up to them, which is why we’re driving letters to governors, letting them know where we, the people, stand.
