Stop Trump and Stephen Miller's NSPM-7 attacks on free speech and protest!

Petition to Congress: We urge you to stop the federal government’s targeted persecution of people and organizations exercising their First Amendment rights to protest. We urge you to oppose the persecution called for under NSPM-7, reject increased funding for counterterrorism initiatives to carry out NSPM-7, and loudly denounce the prison sentences for protesters in Prairieland and charges against Minneapolis area activists. SIGN THE PETITION! After ICE's siege on Minneapolis, the Trump administration labeled ICE protesters as “violent opportunists and agitators" and opened a full-scale investigation into political opponents under NSPM-7. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) investigated a major climate organization, two of America's most prominent labor unions, and a socialist group for supposed "domestic terror financing." As a result of that sprawling investigation, a Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney indicted 15 protest organizers. Trump, Stephen Miller, and Kash Patel have created a government-wide effort to target, harass, and prosecute activists. Congress must take action to end the authoritarian NSPM-7. Sign the petition: Stop Trump and Stephen Miller's NSPM-7 attacks on free speech and protest! NSPM-7 is an overly broad national security memo designed to persecute activists and label any political dissent against Trump as "terrorism." The Department of Justice already weaponized NSPM-7 to prosecute protesters in Texas on trumped up, outlandish charges of "domestic terrorism” carrying 30 and 50 year prison sentences. After the DHS investigation, the Trump administration charged 15 Minneapolis-area residents for allegedly interfering with ICE agents during the federal invasion of the city. The White House is setting a dangerous precedent with these draconian charges and prison sentences. Locking people up for protest and dissent is a clear marker of a dictatorship. Congress must undo NSPM-7, end the shocking investigations, and overturn authoritarian prison sentences. Sign the petition: Condemn Trump's political prosecutions and end NSPM-7!
