Call Script
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
In light of the events of January 6th, I’m calling to demand that you immediately terminate USCP Chief Steven Sund for complete failure to carry out his primary duty to protect Congress, and investigate to what degree Trump loyalists in USCP enabled a politically-motivated mob to invade and disable Congress.
Background
Following the events of January 6th, media is reporting that the DC rioters are "proud" of what they accomplished. And, unfortunately, they accomplished a lot of damage. They wanted to block certification of Biden/Harris, and they were able to disrupt and delay it. They wanted to express their antagonism against and contempt for multi-racial democracy and they succeeded. Media pundits are castigating Capitol Police (USCP) for being "unprepared," for being "incompetent," for "failing." We believe this is not just mere incompetence. With all the warning they had, if they were "unprepared" or "failed" it's because someone high up in their command structure wanted it so. We need to reject the characterization of USCP as "unprepared" or "incompetent" and instead speak of "complicity" and "enabling."
When PG&E put short-term profits ahead of required fire-safety preparations they were not "unprepared" for wildfire season ravages, they were complicit in the inevitable devastation that everyone warned would come -- and courts have held them liable.
So it is with today's mob lynching of democracy in the Capitol. In the words of our member Bruce Hartford, a veteran of the Freedom Movement that brought civil rights to America in the 60s:
We of the Freedom Movement know first-hand about white racist mobs. In every single case of large (100+) white-supremacist mob violence, the police and government officials were complicit in enabling and in many cases mobilizing the mob. New Orleans school integration. Authurine Lucy in Tuscaloosa. Freedom Riders in Anniston, Birmingham, Montgomery. Meredith at 'Ole Miss. St. Augustine. Grenada MS. Chicago open-housing marches. Every time the cops enabled those mobs.
USCP is governed and controlled by Congress. We demand that our MoC immediately terminate USCP Chief Steven Sund for complete failure to carry out his primary duty to protect Congress, and investigate to what degree Trumpites in USCP enabled a politically-motivated mob to invade and disable Congress.
