Congress Must Block the Insurrection Act

President Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy U.S. troops into cities like Chicago and Portland. This would override state authority and turn local communities into militarized zones. Congress must act now to stop it.

We’re calling on the House and Senate to immediately pass legislation that limits or suspends the President’s power to use the Insurrection Act against the American people. No president should have unchecked authority to send soldiers into our streets.

This is urgent. The administration has already begun deploying National Guard troops across state lines without state consent, escalating tensions and undermining civil rights. Lawsuits are underway, but they take time. Congress must act now — before it’s too late — to protect the rule of law and prevent further abuses.

In a democracy, law enforcement must answer to the people, not the military. We believe in civil liberties, local control, and a government that serves its citizens — not one that turns its guns inward.

Sign this petition to tell Congress to block the Insurrection Act now. Contact your representatives, share this petition, and speak out before this dangerous power is unleashed. Our democracy depends on what we do next.
