Indivisibles,
Trump has a track record for crying wolf when things don’t go exactly his
way. So it should be of no surprise to us if (or rather when) Trump
contests any election results this November.
Here’s just a short list of his record so far and exactly why we need to
be ready:
* In 2016, Trump threatened to reject the results of the election.
Though he narrowly defeated Hillary Clinton, he claimed the election
was “rigged” and “millions of people” were voting unlawfully.
* He deployed troops and tear gas just last week on peaceful protestors
to get the “perfect image” for his propaganda video and commentators
have speculated that it was a dry run to see how the nation might
react to a vast overreach by his administration.
* He’s already previewing that he will dispute the 2020 election as
unfairly “rigged” against him. He has spread lies about mail-in voting
to preemptively cast doubt on the election, claiming “mailboxes will
be robbed” and “ballots will be forged.”
* And he’s made disturbing comments that he could stay in office past
2024. That’s not something that we should take lightly.

So what happens if Trump refuses to leave the White House? Well, you can
bet we’ve got a plan for that.
Our movement is in full gear to make sure that Trump is defeated this
election, but as we head toward November, we’re increasingly asking
ourselves: if he loses, would it really be surprising if he cried “rigged”
election? The answer seems clear to us -- we need to mobilize and prepare
for a scenario in which Trump, well, behaves exactly like he always has
and tries to reject the results of November’s election.
Enter → Protect the Results.
Today we’re announcing [ [link removed] ]Protect the Results, a joint project with Stand
Up America, our sister grassroots organization committed to resisting
Trump’s corrupt agenda, to protect the valid results of the 2020
election.
Together, we are working to build a broad coalition of grassroots
organizations and patriotic activists to build the infrastructure to
mobilize Americans to take action should that scenario come to pass --
this is where you come in. We need our movement to be ready to take action
if Trump rejects the results of the 2020 election and here’s how:
[ [link removed] ]Pledge to Protect the Results >>
With millions of Americans expected to vote by mail, and as states
administer elections during the ongoing pandemic, it’s more important than
ever before that we protect the valid results of the election. That’s why
we will build a network of millions of Americans who pledge to take action
should Trump refuse to accept the results from mail-in voting or if he
attempts to declare victory while votes are still being counted.
The fact of the matter is that we’ve held elections during the Civil War,
in World War I, in World War II, during the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918,
and we will still hold an election on November 3. The results of this
election will determine the future of our country, and the results must be
respected and protected.
[ [link removed] ]Join us and pledge to take action if Trump refuses to accept the
results. Because the bottom line has to be clear: If Trump loses the next
election, he must accept those results. Our democracy depends on it.
In solidarity,
