Donald Trump had no plans to leave office when he lost the election. According to ex-Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis, the then-White House deputy chief of staff reportedly said, “The boss is not going to leave under any circumstances… We are just going to stay in power.”
We know Trump attempted a coup. And the more we learn, the more certain we can be that he’ll do it again if given the opportunity. That’s why we must call this for what it is and NEVER let this happen again: The news media–at all levels and across the political spectrum–must start treating Trump as a danger to our democracy and a threat to our freedoms.
Sign the petition: Trump attempted a coup on January 6. He will try again.

Thanks for all you do,

P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding Trump be called out for what he is–a direct threat to our democracy:

The walls are closing in on Donald Trump. Four of his co-conspirators (including attorneys Sidney Powell & Jenna Ellis) in the Georgia case have pleaded guilty and are now cooperating with authorities.
Judges in two of his trials have imposed gag orders because he was intimidating prosecutors and witnesses: one in the D.C. trial overseeing his 2020 election subversion, and one in his New York civil fraud trial. And in the New York case, he's already been fined for violating it.
This comes after two grand juries of everyday Americans indicted Trump for his criminal conspiracy to overthrow the will of the people, from inciting supporters to deadly violence on January 6th to asking government officials in Georgia to falsify votes. (Two other grand juries also indicted him for improperly keeping classified docs and paying hush money.)
But here is where it gets dangerous–a president who attempted to overthrow an election that he lost will not stop at the judicial effort to hold him accountable.

Trump has defied the admonitions of judges not to post messages on social media that smack of tampering with witnesses, juries, and justice. His followers (who appear to trust him more than they trust their own family) have taken it upon themselves to intimidate jurors and election officials.
We all must prepare for the worst-case scenario in 2024 if he does attempt to do this again.
