It’s been three years since Jan. 6, 2021 – one of the darkest days in American history.

Three years ago today, a mob of insurrectionists attacked the US Capitol in an attempt to violently overturn the 2020 election results. Thanks to the brave efforts of Capitol Police, Congress was able to fulfill its constitutional duty to certify the Presidential election, but our nation and democracy were left shaken.

This attack realized our greatest fears since Donald Trump took office and threatened the very foundations that our country is founded on – that extremism could stop democracy and could destroy our nation.

That’s why NewDems got straight to work after January 6th to fight for our democracy:

• NewDem Members voted to impeach President Trump to hold him accountable for his role inciting the insurrections
• NewDem Members led legislation to investigate the January 6th attack and prevent another one
• NewDems endorsed voting rights legislation to strengthen our democracy
• NewDem Members, including Reps. Adam Schiff and Pete Aguilar, served on the House Select Committee on the January 6th Attack, and their tireless efforts led to criminal referrals of Donald Trump to the Justice Department.

But the threats to our democracy go deeper than one day. Donald Trump and too many Republicans across the country continue to promote the Big Lie, and more Republican voters than ever falsely believe the 2020 election was stolen.

The fight to protect our democracy is far from over. And now, NewDems is fighting harder than ever to take away power from the dangerous far-right by electing Democrats and winning a Democratic House Majority.

Today, we’re respectfully asking for your support so that NewDems can continue our important work, and elect pragmatic, thoughtful leaders who will stand up to protect our democracy. »

We will continue to champion legislation to protect and expand voting rights, defend our democratic institutions, and hold those accountable who attempt to undermine our elections.

The work ahead will be challenging, but we know the American people are with us. Today and every day, thank you for standing with us in our efforts to protect our progress and defend our democracy.
