Just this summer, Trump has used the military to occupy major U.S. cities, intimidate political opponents, and run cover for a mass deportation campaign that is leaving communities in fear.

Trump’s efforts to weaponize our military against the people are inflammatory, dangerous, and dictatorial. Fortunately, we’re about to face a critical chance to push back.

Congress will be voting on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a must-pass funding bill that sets the budget for the Pentagon, which is currently overseeing the deployments of armed federal troops to our cities and towns.

But this is no time for business as usual. Rubber-stamping the Pentagon’s TRILLION dollar topline, sends a dangerous signal that Congress is fine footing the bill forTrump’s power grab.

We need lawmakers to fight back against authoritarianism at every possible step, and that has to include REJECTING the NDAA. One of the surefire ways they’ll be compelled to do just that? Hearing from droves of constituents, like you.
