How to Identify a National Guard Member’s Home State

All National Guard members wear a patch on their left sleeve indicating their home state and unit.

It can be tough for civilians to know what these mean, so we’ve put together a handy guide for identifying the states assisting Trump with his occupation of DC.

If you see Guard from Michigan, Minnesota, or North Carolina in particular you have the right to record them, ask them where they are from, and let them know about the harms being done to DC by federal forces.

Governor Whitmer (MI), Governor Walz (MN), and Governor Stein (NC), do not seem to understand that their troops are operating as part of Trump’s summer surge and the harmful "DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force.” They currently think, erroneously, that their troops are only on the Mall.
