Hi–
On January 6, 2021, a violent mob of armed, far-right extremists stormed
and vandalized the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of
the presidential election. Three years later, this day remains a dark
stain on the fabric of our democracy.

But armed extremism didn't start with the insurrection at the Capitol.
January 6th happened because of conspiracy theories and violent rhetoric
circulated by extremists which were then validated and amplified by some
of our own lawmakers—including former President Trump.
Three years later, as our country enters another contentious election
cycle, these dangerous conditions remain, threatening our democracy.

elections.

And just after Colorado Supreme Court justices ruled that former President
Trump is ineligible to appear on the state's Republican primary ballot, a
man broke into the Colorado Supreme Court building and fired shots inside
before surrendering to police.
Armed extremism is an imminent threat to our democracy—and it's not going
away.
Every Western democracy has extremists. But in the United States, the
extremists have easy access to guns.
We can't lose sight of what's at stake in this year's elections. Donald
Trump tried to end our democracy three years ago and would end it if
elected again. MAGA extremism has no place near the White House.
[ [link removed] ]Friend, pledge now to vote in the 2024 elections.
Together, we can ensure that these right-wing extremists are defeated in
November, and build on our gun safety progress in legislatures across the
country. Our future depends on it.
Thank you for being a part of this movement,
