Trump sent the National Guard into Washington, D.C. to intimidate his opponents and distract from his failed agenda. Email Congress now and demand they end his takeover of our nation’s capital.

As threats to democracy grow, state and local leaders and activists are stepping up to defend our communities. On **Wednesday, August 20th at 7:30 PM ET**, we’re hosting a national virtual call — **“Defending the Rule of Law in our States”** — to spotlight these efforts, share effective strategies, and build momentum for local action to protect people and democracy. This call will feature stories and tools from public officials and grassroots organizers working to protect the rule of law. It will also offer specific ways for people to get involved and support this work in their own communities. Please **sign up to receive the Zoom link**! Speakers include **MN Attorney General Keith Ellison,** FL Rep. Anna Eskamani, MD Comptroller Brooke Lierman, NY Rep. Micah Lasher, and Los Angeles labor activist Héctor (Teto) Huezo.
