DC is not safer with more militarized policing. DC is not safer with MPD‘s consistent involvement with the military and federal agencies.
We have seen during this occupation, that MPD’s complicity has been to the detriment of our community members! SHAME!

Downtown DC could be free of military weapons.
Please, especially if you live in one of the seven states whose troops continue to occupy our city, urge the governors to send them home.

Trump doesn't care that his deployment of the National Guard is dangerous — but the governors deploying these Guard members should.

National Guard members do not want to be used as political props. They want to be home with their families. The only person who wants them here is Trump.
Police killed three people in DC last week and now this. When will this administration stop escalating and putting people in harm's way?

Violence is never the answer and must be swiftly condemned by all.
The National Guard are volunteers. They sign up to leave their jobs and families at a moment’s notice to serve their country.
This is a heartbreaking day for DC and our nation. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones.

We have said consistently that the Guard should not be here. It is unsafe for both members of the Guard and communities.
Our deepest condolences go to the two West Virginia families who will now spend this season mourning the loss of loved ones who died while deployed unnecessarily.

We disagree with the way Mayor Bowser is handling the Trump administration and its attacks on our communities, but we recognize that two decades in public service is a noble commitment to any community.

What's the matter guys, don't like it when people recognize you for your work?
An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

What DC communities *actually* need is help with the housing affordability crisis. Applications open today for DC's emergency rental assistance and it will be Hunger Games-level of need.
If Congress wanted to help DC they'd take action on this — not force us backwards on bail and police reform.
