Hi John,

Our democracy is under attack from within. We're seeing unprecedented threats to our institutions, the rule of law, and our system of checks and balances. 

Watch RepresentUs CEO Maria McFarland Sánchez-Moreno explain how a democratically elected leader can corrupt and destroy democracy from within. 

Maria lived under a corrupt autocratic regime in Peru in the 1990s, and, in our latest video, she explains how to identify the stages of a backsliding democracy, and what that means for the United States right now.

Now is the time to call your legislators and demand they protect and defend our republic. Members of Congress have said that they're receiving a huge number of calls over the past few weeks, and the pressure is working, so let's keep it up and make our voices heard.
