The first trial is over: 6 defendants, 42 charges—all NOT GUILTY

Despite clear messages from a judge and jury, prosecutors refuse to let 59 people with pending cases move on with their lives.

The US Attorney for DC has the power to change that.

Hello. My name is __________.

I am calling because I've heard reports that 59 Inauguration protesters are still facing excessive criminal charges.

In light of the first trial's outcome--where the judge threw out one charge for complete lack of evidence, and the jury handed down ‘not-guilty’ verdicts for the rest--I ask that your office drop the remaining charges.

Over the last year, you have pushed every limit – making these prosecutions as disruptive as possible, and the investigations surrounding this case as intrusive as possible.

You have used over-inflated charges to coerce plea deals, and gag orders to protect the police from public accountability.

Prosecutors have the choice of when or how to bring charges. Your office has abused that power to punish, repress, and intimidate.

Drop the charges. NOW.
