[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to demand no more delays in Trump's criminal trials!

Dear John,

This week, there has been another major setback in Trump's criminal
trials. The Georgia Court of Appeals set a tentative date of October 4 to
review whether Judge Fani Willis can continue prosecuting the election
interference case against Trump in Fulton County, Georgia.^1 This is
inexcusable. We must come together NOW and urge the Georgia Court of
Appeals to move up the date.

Under this timeline, it's nearly impossible for Trump's election
interference case to go to trial, nevertheless get a verdict, before the
November election.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to the petition demanding the Georgia Court of Appeals
move quickly! Together, we can pressure all the judges and courts to move
speedily and stop the delays.

Last week, Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts. He still has three
more trials to face for his remaining 54 felony counts, but Trump and his
allies are doing everything they can to delay these trials. 

This is Trump's whole strategy: Delay. Win. Pardon. If he can just delay
the remaining three trials until after the election, he can win and then
pardon himself for all the federal crimes he's committed. 

In the weeks after the 2020 election, Trump and his cronies did everything
they could to overturn the election results despite knowing he lost.
Nothing demonstrates this more than Trump's desperate call to the Georgia
secretary of state intimidating him to find 11,000 more votes to steal the
election. Last summer, a grand jury of Georgians charged Trump with
election interference. By delaying this trial, Americans' right to a
speedy trial is being undermined. 

[ [link removed] ]Please sign the petition and share it with friends and family. Trump is
trying to evade his remaining three trials, and we need to pressure the
courts to move swiftly. We deserve and demand verdicts before the November
election.

Thanks for all you do.

[ [link removed] ]The Supreme Court is preventing a speedy trial to hold Trump accountable for
his January 6 crimes. Demand the court stop the delays NOW!

Dear MoveOn member,

Last night, a jury of everyday Americans affirmed that Donald Trump is not
above the law. He was found GUILTY on all 34 charges for falsifying
documents to cover up a conspiracy to deceive voters ahead of the 2016
election.^2 This makes the de facto leader of the Republican party and the
party's presidential candidate—which has touted its "tough on crime"
platform and enforced harsh policies against ordinary Americans—a felon.

But frustratingly, Trump’s three other trials have been stalled and
delayed, a tactic that Trump is intentionally weaponizing in order to
block accountability and avoid going to trial before November’s election.
Judges across the country, from the Supreme Court—including two justices
with clear and outrageous conflicts of interest—to state courts, are
working to help Trump evade accountability.

[ [link removed] ]Will you sign the petition to demand that the judges overseeing Trump's
criminal trials and appeals listen to the American people and STOP the
delays?

Justice delayed is justice denied! Demand that the judges involved with
Trump's criminal trials and appeals STOP delaying and move forward swiftly
before the November presidential elections!

The MAGA-stacked Supreme Court continues to drag its feet in announcing a
ruling on Trump's bogus "absolute immunity" claim, which they never should
have accepted in the first place.^3 And in the midst of the case, news
broke that Justice Samuel Alito flew not one but two flags in solidarity
with the January 6 insurrection. This corrupt court is stalling in order
to prevent the Department of Justice from starting its trial against Trump
for his January 6 crimes. They must STOP the delays and issue a ruling
immediately.

Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing the classified
documents case, recently announced that she is delaying the trial
indefinitely.^4 For months she's shown nothing but favoritism toward
Trump, using her power to shield him. The trial was originally to take
place in May 2024. 

And finally, Trump's crusade to disqualify the prosecutor in his Georgia
case, also related to overturning the 2020 election results, has
indefinitely delayed the trial as the Georgia Court of Appeals debates
whether to allow Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis to oversee
the charges brought against Trump and 14 co-conspirators.^5

[ [link removed] ]Enough is enough. These trials must begin immediately. Sign the
petition to demand that Judge Cannon, the Georgia Court of Appeals, and
the Supreme Court stop the delays. This is a matter of justice and
democracy.

For far too long, there have been different versions of justice in our
legal system—one for the wealthy and powerful, and another for the rest of
us. And this hypocrisy has burdened Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian
American communities disproportionately. And now, this double standard is
on full display, as someone who should be held to the highest ethical and
legal standards in our country manipulates our legal system to evade
accountability and hide information from the public.

[ [link removed] ]Trump's crimes were crimes committed against our democracy and against
the American people. We have a right to a speedy trial. Sign the petition
to urge our legal and justice system to do its job and STOP THE DELAYS!

Thanks for all you do.
