EMERGENCY PROTEST: STAND WITH LA!
ICE OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES!

🗓️Tuesday, June 10
⏰6 PM
📍Burlington City Hall Park
From LA to Burlington ICE OUT! TUES 6/10 - 6PM City Hall Park The people of Los Angeles have courageously stood up against Trump’s reign of terror against immigrant families. In response, the administration has deployed the National Guard and heavily militarized federal troops in an attempt to spread terror and intimidate people out of exercising their right to protest. Everyone who cares about free speech, the First Amendment, and the right to dissent needs to speak out against this blatant repression by the Trump administration. Unless we exercise our right to protest in this critical moment, we will lose it!

50501 Veterans remain committed to nonviolent protests and to maintaining all constitutional rights, including to peacefully assemble under the First Amendment.

Deploying CA National Guard to LA protests without the Governor's request is an abuse of power and attack on our constitutional rights. So is threatening to send US Marines against civilians.

We condemn this order from the Trump Administration and demand it be rescinded immediately.

50501 Veterans opposes in the strongest terms and without exception the White House directive to the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, as well as the Attorney General, authorizing the deployment of the National Guard to attack Americans peacefully exercising their 1st Amendment rights in Los Angeles, and anywhere in our country. This unprecedented move obliterates the line between military and civilian roles under both the U.S. Constitution and the laws of the U.S. Code – a line that should never be crossed. It is a declaration of war on the American People, by its own government. 50501 Veterans calls on: President Trump to rescind the order, stand -down the National Guard, retreat from our streets, and promise to never again attack the American people. -The U.S. Congress to immediately enter into Emergency Session to take swift action to ensure the President and Cabinet abides by the Constitution and the existing applicable laws under U.S. Code, including the Posse Comitatus Act. -The Judicial Branch – at every level, including the Supreme Court – to immediately rule in favor of Constitutional challenges brought against this blatantly illegal attempt to suppress the 1st Amendment rights of the American People. We swore an oath to our country to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We will not be complicit in eviscerating the Constitution. We did not swear that oath – which never expires – to sit idly by while a tyrant deploys our military on our own soil to suppress and silence the voices of the American People. Our nation was founded in 1776 based on the very idea that no tyrant should be allowed to do so. 50501 Veterans will not be silent. That oath never expires. We will not stand down. 50501 Veterans will continue to speak out against this move to usurp the U.S. Constitution and Federal laws, and also to provide guidance, resources and support to our Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard service members o…

Memorial Day is always a time that I take a pause and think of the ones I lost in service. Not just my own men but family and my Iraqi partners who risked their lives for me. I went for my traditional hike today. Now I’m grabbing a cold one and lunch. Here are a few of the men I’m thinking of today.

This Memorial Day, Kris Goldsmith shared a story that cuts through the noise—a story about pain, survival, and the long road home after war. It’s not easy to tell the truth about what happens after service, but Kris did. And it’s a truth that too many veterans know all too well.

I tried to die on Soldier’s Walk, a memorial site on Fort Stewart, Georgia. 18 years later, I’m days (or hours?) from becoming a father.

This Memorial Day, I’m not just remembering the dead. I’m fighting for the living—and for the country my daughter will be born into.

Trump, Musk and their MAGA allies want to take a chainsaw to Medicaid.

Instead, let's take a chainsaw to Project 2025 and the Republican House majority

This is how dictatorships start.

Demand your legislator BLOCK Trump’s terrifying ‘terrorism loophole’ that lets him silence ANY nonprofit.

ACTION: I’m calling from [zip] & I want [legislator] to call out & remove the clause from the draft budget bill giving Trump unlimited power to designate any non-profit a supporter of terrorism through his minions in the Treasury Dept. (www.usa.gov/elected-officials)
