Friend,

Today, despite mounting evidence of wrongdoing, the Senate voted to acquit Donald Trump. It’s a sad day when our Senate condones and fails to hold Trump accountable for criminal schemes that have jeopardized our democracy.

Trump will forever be an impeached President, thanks to your work. That will always be a stain on his presidency. If we don’t, it sets a dangerous precedent for presidential power in which the Constitution doesn’t apply to the powerful few.

Chip in today to show that we do not accept the Senate coverup. Together, let’s fight the GOP’s hate and corruption, and build a better world for all.

Trump will forever be an impeached President, thanks to your work. That will always be a stain on his presidency.

And across the country over the past few days, I’m inspired by people coming together to protest the sham Senate trial and to fight for a democracy that serves all of us.

With the Senate abdicating its responsibility, it’s up to us now. It’s up to us to replace Trump and his allies with leaders who truly represent us (in the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives).

It’s up to us to resist his politics of hate and fear mongering for the rest of his time in office, and to create a better democracy and country where we all belong.

Please donate whatever you can now to show: We the people are united against Trump’s hate and corruption.

In Congress, we’re working every day to fight Trump’s agenda, including his recently expanded Muslim ban, which splits up families and dehumanizes people. My very presence in Congress as a Muslim Palestinian-American woman is resistance.

At last night’s State of the Union, I joined my sisters in Congress in attending the address, but protesting by wearing white—my white Palestinian thobe.

Two guests from Michigan’s 13th congressional district joined me at the State of the Union: Carly Fraser, a young advocate for diabetics who need affordable insulin and others struggling to afford prescription medications, and Danielle Atkinson, a tireless fighter for mothers and women of color. They are true leaders, and our attendance together helped uplift their stories and causes.

But I ended up walking out of the State of the Union speech.

Hearing Trump’s lies about healthcare, his bigotry, his flaunting of appointing sexual predator Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, his bragging about taking away food stamps that people depend on to live… residents from Michigan’s 13th district were texting me in outrage. It was all beneath the dignity of the office he occupies.

As I told Rachel Maddow last night after walking out, we’re not part of Trump’s reality show. We are the United States of America, which is made up of real people who are impacted by what he does.

Show your support for OUR United States of America—one that leads through compassion and love—by contributing to our campaign today.

Thank you for all you do,

Rashida

P.S. Today at 5:30 pm, hundreds of thousands of Americans are mobilizing across the country with a simple demand: Reject the Senate’s coverup. Look for and join an action near you.
