President Donald Trump brazenly attacked D.C. autonomy and moved to militarize the District. He invoked Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act of 1973 to take over the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). The D.C. National Guard was also activated with little recourse by the D.C. Mayor. The Guard is under the authority of the President given that D.C. is not a state. Join us and call on Congress to reject this fake emergency and rebuke President Trump’s illegitimate take over of D.C!
