Dear John,
Even before Monday’s awful Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, this was already one of the most important elections of our lives.
Now this election could determine whether American democracy survives at all.
In the words of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the majority’s decision makes the president a “king above the law” in all official acts. If elected, Trump would be immune from prosecution for ordering the assassination of a political rival, staging a military coup, taking bribes for pardons... you name it.
In every instance, the president is “immune, immune, immune.”
No president, and certainly not Donald Trump, should be trusted with that kind of power — and Inequality Media Civic Action is doubling down on our biggest election year campaign ever to get out the truth and stop him.
Will you donate $5 to help Inequality Media Civic Action sound the alarm and stop Donald Trump?
Like many of you, I’ve spent much of the past two days going over Chief Justice John Roberts’ presidential immunity decision, as well as the dissents and concurring opinions, and the analyses of various expert legal commentators.
And the more I’ve read, the more alarmed I’ve become.
I served in the Justice Department soon after Watergate, when Richard Nixon sought to use the department to go after the people on his “enemies list.” I
shudder at the thought of Donald Trump with the sweeping
criminal immunity that the Supreme Court just handed the president.
It's up to us to do everything in our power to defeat Donald Trump, and here’s what we’re doing right now:
1. Warning America about Project 2025: Project 2025 is the terrifying step-by-step playbook for Donald
Trump’s second term that would turn America into an authoritarian MAGA
police state and shred our most cherished freedoms. Most Americans have
never heard of it, and we’ve launched a major public education effort to
sound the alarm.
2. Closing the TikTok gap: TikTok is the #1 most popular social media app for millions of young people, and Donald Trump has 7.3 million followers — 18 times as many as President Biden. Inequality Media Civic Action has spent years building our following on TikTok and learning how to make videos go viral, and we’re now one of the few progressive organizations big enough on TikTok to help counter Trump’s dominance.
3. Combating Trump amnesia: Half of all Americans now say that the country was better off when Donald Trump left office than when he came in — a huge jump from what people thought back in 2021. We’re using proven-effective, data-driven messaging to remind people of what it was really like, including a viral video series on the “10 things you might have forgotten about the Trump years.”
Together we can — and must — stop Donald Trump. And as a grassroots-funded organization, we’re counting on your help to ensure that we have the resources to keep Trump from ever setting foot in the Oval Office again.
Please donate $5 or whatever you can afford right now to help Inequality Media Civic Action sound the alarm and defeat Donald Trump.
Thank you for joining with us,
