Friend,

Last week, MomsRising delivered impeachment cupcakes to U.S. Senate
Republican offices with the message: “Don’t frost the American people.
Bake in democracy now!”

And you know what? Even though they may not all have liked our message,
every single GOP office we visited welcomed us and accepted our cupcakes,
along with tens of thousands of petition signatures and messages from
across the nation. In other words, they got our message loud and clear!
This week, we are reinforcing the message with more cupcake and message
deliveries to U.S. Senators’ offices back in their home states.

[ [link removed] ]Can you help us cover the costs of our impeachment cupcakes that show
exactly what ingredients are needed for a fair trial -- and demonstrate
our clear rejection of the GOP’s sham trial so far?

We have been watching the U.S. Senate impeachment hearings with increasing
concern about the future of our democracy. The Republican majority under
the leadership of Sen. Mitch McConnell refuses to call witnesses or allow
documents, and has even been overtly conspiring [1] with the White House
to get the process over with as soon as possible.

MomsRising is using our outdoor voices (and cupcake power) to let U.S.
Senate leaders know that the sham trial is not okay. We are letting them
know that moms and families understand that the ingredients of a fair
trial include 1) witness testimony and 2) documentary evidence.

[ [link removed] ]Moms have the creativity, will, and expertise to win this fight, but
cupcakes require organizing and other resources that cost money, and so
will the other powerful actions we have up our sleeve. Would you invest in
mom-organizing to save our democracy?

Trump’s impeachment trial is not over. We will not let up in telling GOP
senators that hiding evidence is unacceptable, and we will continue
pressing our members of Congress to stand up against corruption and defend
our democracy. No one fights harder than moms and our families, because we
are doing it for the people, communities, and country we love.

But it’s going to take a sustained pressure campaign over the phones, in
the press, and in our communities. MomsRising is in it for the long haul,
but we need your support.

(We’ll also be delivering some “Thank you” cupcakes to the U.S. House
impeachment managers for the great work they did laying out the case for
impeachment in the U.S. Senate trial that say, “Protecting our democracy
isn't just sweet—it's heroic!”)

[ [link removed] ]Impeachment cupcakes cost money, and so do driving phone calls, working
with the press, and organizing our grassroots power. Be a part of our
fight and make a donation now. Every dollar helps!

Together, we are powerful, and we will never stop fighting for our
families, communities, and our democracy.

In solidarity,

-- Felicia, Gloria, Tasmiha, Donna, Kristin, Sili, Amber, Anita, Nate, and
the entire MomsRising/MamasconPoder team
