Act Now: End Illegal Troop Deployments in Our Communities

Tell Your Attorney General: Protect the Constitution. Enforce the Posse Comitatus Act.

The Trump administration’s deployment of U.S. Marines on American soil, particularly in response to peaceful protests, is a dangerous overreach of federal power and a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act—a law that prohibits military involvement in domestic policing without Congressional approval.

At Peace Economy Project, we believe military budgets should serve the public good, not be used to repress our communities.

These deployments represent the growing threat of militarized policing, enabled by runaway Pentagon spending. From Ferguson to Los Angeles, this pattern endangers civil liberties and undermines our democracy.

Take Action in 2 Easy Steps

1️⃣ Contact Your State Attorney General

Use our sample message below to email your Attorney General. You can look up your AG’s email or web contact form here.

Subject: Enforce the Posse Comitatus Act – No Troops on Our Streets

Message:

Dear Attorney General [Insert Name],

I am writing to urge you to take immediate legal action or issue a public statement opposing the recent deployment of U.S. military forces for domestic law enforcement. The Posse Comitatus Act clearly prohibits this without Congressional approval.

These actions set a dangerous precedent and threaten the rights of peaceful protesters and vulnerable communities across the country. I call on you to stand up for our constitutional protections and join your peers in challenging this unlawful militarization.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your City, State]
