Our Revolution Condemns Trump’s Deployment of National Guard to Los Angeles
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Our Revolution unequivocally condemns President Donald Trump’s dangerous and authoritarian deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles. This alarming move is the latest in a series of escalating actions including attacks on media and courts – that signal a deepening slide toward oligarchy and authoritarian governance in our country.
“This is not law and order—it’s tyranny,” said Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese. “When power is concentrated in the hands of a corrupt few, and dissent is met with armed repression, democracy itself is under siege. We must call this what it is: a threat to the republic.”
Our Revolution stands with the people of Los Angeles and communities nationwide who are rising up for justice and democracy. We urge every elected official, candidate, and organization that claims to defend democracy to speak out and act decisively against this authoritarian power grab.
