A National Emergency to Defend Democracy

U.S. Congress

Trump is declaring a national emergency to fund his border wall. This is a gross abuse of power — not to keep people safe or for the good of the country, but to get his own way, harming families, the nation, and democracy in the process.

The real emergency is Trump’s abuse of power. Congress can and must pass a joint resolution to defend democracy. Add your name here to demand they do.

I am writing to express my outrage at Trump's decision to announce a national emergency to fund his wall. This is a gross abuse of power — not to keep people safe or for the good of the country, but to get his own way, harming families, the nation, and democracy in the process.

You made this happen by validating Trump's fearmongering about a border crisis, when the real crisis has always been the one he caused.

This is a nation by and for the people, and we the people know what the real emergency is: presidential abuse of power.

I expect you to do everything you can defend democracy and stop Trump's power grab. Start by passing a joint resolution to reinstate democracy in this country.
