Not just unlawful but also a prime example of Trump's failed leadership and desperation. Amidst COVID, people in Seattle & across America need more federal funding—not less. Yet he would prefer to turn your attention away from these real crises by fearmongering & fanning racism.
Instead of levying partisan attacks at cities across America and attacking those powerfully protesting police brutality, this president should be focused on attacking COVID and the devastating economic crisis we face with millions having lost their jobs, housing, and health care.
Instead of standing idly by as more than 6.1 million people have tested positive and at least 186,600 people have already died because of his inaction, he should be focused on investing in a national testing and contact tracing strategy.
Instead of cutting unemployment benefits and passing shallow executive orders that do nothing to provide real relief to people across America, he should be working with Congress to immediately pass a substantial relief package that meets the scale of this crisis.
Join me in demanding better from this president. Join me in calling on him to stop inciting violence and threatening to cut funds to cities. Join me in telling him to focus on getting real relief to people during this pandemic.
We have a proud tradition in Seattle of protesting injustice. We’re not going to get distracted by threats from a lawless president and his corrupt administration.
