Tell the Senate to respect DC on sanctuary, elections, and police reform
In June the U.S. House passed three bills that attempt to undo local DC laws. H.R. 2056 would accelerate the Trump administration's violent detention machine locally in DC. H.R. 884 would interfere in DC’s local elections. And H.R. 2056 would undo police accountability measures that MPD itself supports.
DC residents have had no say in these bills. Undoing our laws without our consent is inherently authoritarian and dangerous, and these proposals specifically open the door to greater detention, violence, and abuse. We vehemently oppose these bills and understand them as attacks on our communities.
We want Senators to oppose these three bills and any future bills that attack DC’s local governing power. Here’s how you can help make that happen.
Send a letter: For DC residents
Congress is denying DC senators of our own, so we assume that means we can talk to all of them.
DC residents, use the form below to send an email to 28 priority Senators who need to hear from us on these three bills:
Send a letter: For allies outside DC
If you live outside DC, we want your solidarity. For allies outside DC, send a letter to your two Senators to make it clear you want them to respect DC’s local decision-making.
