National Orgs Call for Hawaii Gov Josh Green to Withdraw National Guard from DC

On July 15, 2026, several national organizations signed and sent a letter to Governor Josh Green calling for him to withdraw Hawai’i National Guard forces from Washington, DC.

In the letter, they remind the Governor, “As the State of Hawai’i recognized when it joined an amicus brief in litigation challenging the deployments, this show of military force for the purpose of policing civilians is unprecedented, dangerous, and unlawful. The use of the military to support civilian law enforcement should be a last resort in cases where emergencies have overwhelmed civilian authorities. That is clearly not the case in DC.”

Thousands of people have now written letters to these governors. DC residents are filming the Guard, allies in the states are agitating their leaders, and together we are making it clear that DC wants the Guard gone.
