Last week, CREW made national and international news for successfully barring Donald Trump from the ballot in Colorado under the 14th Amendment.
As you can probably tell by now, when CREW talks about accountability for those who threaten our democracy, we mean it. And we’ve been taking action on accountability for the insurrection for years now.
Here’s what else we’ve done—beyond last week’s groundbreaking win.
- We tracked every donation to the Sedition Caucus (the members who voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election), and called corporations out for breaking their promises.
- We forced the Secret Service to turn over records of its communications with the Oath Keepers ahead of January 6th.
- We demanded that the Department of Justice investigate the gap in the White House call logs from January 6th. We made the legal and historical case for barring Trump from the ballot in reports that laid the groundwork for our 14th Amendment lawsuit.
- We enforced County Commissioner Couy Griffin’s disqualification from office for his connection with the insurrection—which set crucial precedent for the historic Trump decision in Colorado last week.
That’s a long list. And despite our recent win, our work is far from over. Holding folks accountable for an insurrection isn’t easy, but we’re doing everything in our power to do just that.
We’ve made a lot of progress, but we’re still hard at work. We rely on grassroots donations to keep up the fight. Can you make a MATCHED donation to CREW today to help us pursue accountability for the insurrection? →

Let me put this bluntly—our democracy needs us to stand up for it before Trump can do irreversible harm.
In the aftermath of January 6th, CREW was one of the first organizations to call for Donald Trump’s impeachment and for his enablers to be expelled from Congress. We launched an investigation into the Trump administration’s delayed response to the armed insurrection. We filed a criminal sedition complaint against Trump.
Since then, we have seen some real victories on accountability for the insurrection. The January 6th Select Committee showed the American people the full story of that day. The Department of Justice charged Donald Trump with crimes related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Three states have now criminally charged Trump's fake electors.
And now he’s been barred from the ballot in Colorado, thanks to the lawsuit we brought on behalf of six Colorado voters.
John, we’ve made so much progress, but there’s so much more to do. We have to keep up the fight to ensure an insurrection like January 6th never happens again. And we need resources to defend our crucial win at the next level.
