John,
In the wake of the disturbing events that unfolded in the aftermath of the 2020 election, the trial of Donald J. Trump has become a pivotal moment for our democracy.
The importance of this trial cannot be overstated – it's a defining moment in our nation's history. It's imperative that this trial is conducted transparently, in full view of the American public.
Major news outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post, along with members of Congress, are calling for the televised broadcast of Trump's trial.
We have an opportunity to make our voices heard and ensure that this trial, which involves an attempt to overturn an American election, is broadcasted for all to witness. Join this movement by demanding Trump’s trial is televised! [[link removed]]

We are asking Chief Justice John Roberts, who chairs the U.S. Judicial Conference, to make the crucial decision to allow cameras in the courtroom. By doing so, we can help ensure the trial's legitimacy and uphold the principles of transparency and accountability that our democracy is built upon.
Here's why this matters:
**Historic Significance**: The trial of a former president who tried to undermine American democracy is a historic event. It will be remembered alongside landmark cases like Marbury v. Madison and Brown v. Board of Education.
**Legitimizing the Outcome**: Televising the trial allows the public to witness the proceedings firsthand, promoting public acceptance of the jury's verdict. As Harvard Law professor Lawrence Tribe points out, trust in the rule of law relies on trust in its processes.
**Public Importance**: For many citizens, this trial represents the most significant activity their government will undertake in their lifetimes. It's a matter of accountability, justice, and safeguarding the foundations of our nation.
Your signature matters. Join us in demanding transparency and accountability in this pivotal trial. Sign the petition to Chief Justice John Roberts, urging him to allow cameras in the courtroom for the trial of Donald J. Trump. [[link removed]]

About BlueAmp Action:
We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world.
We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits.
And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.
When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.
Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.
So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.
Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
