To: Trump administration

Kristi Noem must go!

Kristi Noem’s callousness and incompetence as the head of Department of Homeland Security have cost lives and hurt communities. Her decisions hobbled FEMA’s response to the Texas flood disasters, illustrating the dire impact of a corrupt and unfit administration. 

The tragedy in Texas and the shameful aftermath make it clear: Kristi Noem cannot lead Homeland Security and must go. Add your name to the petition!

Why is this important?

Kristi Noem was an unqualified pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security. In her first months on the job, she posed for photos in front of wrongfully imprisoned people, made light of human suffering, and partnered with the Trump White House efforts to dismantle critical programs that keep our country and its residents safe—all while gleefully and cruelly doubling down on the terror tactics of detaining, disappearing, and deporting people off our streets.

Over the past weeks, we have seen how she’s not just unfit but that her decisions have hobbled critical relief efforts. Her political attacks on FEMA and new policies requiring her personal sign-off on expenditures delayed the agency’s ability to respond to the deadly Texas floods. FEMA help hotlines—which have provided critical, high-level service in previous disasters—were dysfunctional for Texas residents thanks to Noem’s policies, with nearly two-thirds of calls going unanswered when people needed urgent help the most.

The tragedy in Texas is heartbreaking. No words can bring back the lives lost or repair the shattered families. But when such incompetence contributes to and compounds that suffering, it’s imperative those in power are held responsible.

It’s scary that Kristi Noem doesn’t understand basic constitutional rights, yet she’s still making policy decisions, setting budgets, and is incompetently leading a life-saving agency like FEMA.

Kristi Noem must go—sign the petition.
