John, I’ll be blunt: Our democracy needs us to stand up for it to prevent irreversible harm.

In the aftermath of January 6th, CREW was one of the first organizations to call for Donald Trump’s impeachment and for his enablers to be expelled from Congress. We launched an investigation into the Trump administration’s delayed response to the armed insurrection. We filed a criminal sedition complaint against Trump.

Since then, we have seen some real victories on accountability for the insurrection. The January 6th Select Committee showed the American people the full story of that day. The Department of Justice charged Donald Trump with crimes related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Thousands of insurrectionists have been arrested, convicted and sentenced for attacking the Capitol.

But John, this week’s Supreme Court ruling was a devastating blow to the progress we’ve made. It threatens our system of democratic checks and balances by placing presidents above the rule of law. And frankly, it emboldens Donald Trump and his lawlessness to continue.

We have to make sure that Donald Trump still faces accountability for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his incitement of the insurrection.

Accountability can not wait, and if you agree, please donate to CREW right now and help us continue the fight to hold Donald Trump accountable and show that he can not be held above the law →

As you may know by now, when CREW talks about accountability for those who threaten our democracy, we mean it. And we’ve been taking action on accountability for the insurrection for years now.

Here’s just some of what we’ve done:

• We tracked every donation to the Sedition Caucus (the members who voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election), and called corporations out for breaking their promises – turns out corporations who said they *wouldn’t* donate to these members actually have now donated tens of millions of dollars to them.
• We forced the Secret Service to turn over records of its communications with the Oath Keepers ahead of January 6th.
• We demanded that the Department of Justice investigate the gap in the White House call logs from January 6th.
• We made the legal and historical case for barring Trump from the ballot in reports that laid the groundwork for our 14th Amendment lawsuit. We secured County Commissioner Couy Griffin’s disqualification from office for his connection with the insurrection—which set a crucial precedent for the historic Trump decision in our Colorado ballot challenge case last December.
• We took Donald Trump to the Supreme Court, challenging his eligibility for the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

John, this is a long list, but our work is far from over. And now, in light of this Supreme Court decision, our work is more important than ever.

And that means your support now can make an even bigger impact. So can you help us continue the fight for accountability by making a donation to CREW today?

Thanks for your support,

Donald Sherman
