Sign the petition to Revoke Trump's national emergency declaration

We need all hands on deck. Donald Trump just declared a national emergency so he can build his border wall without Congressional approval.

This unconstitutional power grab gives Trump vast new powers to undermine our democracy and supercharge his white supremacy. He'll be more able than ever to escalate attacks on immigrants, communities of color, Muslims and Black and Brown people.

Congress gives a president who declares a national emergency far too much power, and does far too little to check it. In the hands of a racist autocrat like Trump, these powers are even more terrifying. We must demand that Congress rein him in now.
