Hey there, it's Marcus Flowers.

Every day we are presented with another example of what’s at stake in our democracy.

Today the Supreme Court ruled that Trump is entitled to claim immunity from criminal prosecution for some of the actions he took as president – this includes his encouragement of the January 6 insurrection following his electoral loss.

This sets a dangerous precedent for our nation.

Before this ruling, no president has ever been protected from criminal prosecution while violating the law in office. In fact, no president has ever believed they were above the law, period. Now, all former presidents are cloaked in this immunity. If the president misuses their official power for personal gain, they will not face the same prosecution as the rest of us.

What does it mean for a nation when its leader is above the law? When the president of a country can commit crimes and escape any penalties? It means democracy is in danger.

If we fail to elect champions of the people, democracy as we know it will cease to exist. Please join me in defending our democracy by chipping in anything you can today – this is urgent:

When a president believes he is above the law, the integrity of our democracy is compromised. The corruption trickles down, and the stability of our nation will crumble.

But we the people still hold the power to protect the democracy we’ve built. Our greatest strength is our ability to elect leaders that align with our morals and fight for every American.

We have entered dangerous, uncharted territory with today’s SCOTUS ruling. This is just a glimpse of what’s at risk if we fail to Hold The Line and keep democratic ideas at the helm. Please join me in standing up for the future of our democracy by donating $10 or what you can today.
