Trump rolling tanks through DC

Donald Trump is ordering the Pentagon to spend millions of dollars to stage a massive military parade in D.C — soldiers, tanks, jets, all of it. It’s clear to me that Trump doesn’t actually honor the troops, he wants to force the troops to honor him.

As veterans — we know we can’t stay on the sidelines as Trump continues to turn our comrades into political props, and intimidates our communities with an authoritarian display. That’s why, if Trump proceeds with his plan, we need to be ready to mobilize veterans and military family members in opposition.

Add your name today. Tell Washington D.C.'s Mayor -- Muriel Bowser -- to cancel Trump's disgusting parade once and for all.

For Trump it isn’t about the people who serve in uniform. Let’s look at Trump’s record: he lied about donating to veteran charities until we called him out. He tried to purge transgender troops and immigrants from the military. And he turned the arrival of a fallen soldier’s remains in Dover, and the ceremony awarding a wounded soldier his Purple Heart, into gross and exploitative photo ops. He even smeared a Gold Star family!

We’re not props for anyone’s ego and authoritarian agenda. And we’re going to fight tooth and nail until the whole country realizes that.

In solidarity,
