Dear John,
Donald Trump's refusal to concede the election is no longer just undermining our democracy.
Now he's putting the lives of Americans at risk by obstructing the Biden transition team from preparing to take control of the federal government on January 20.
Emily Murphy, the Trump-appointed administrator of the General Services Administration, is refusing to sign an usually noncontroversial bit of paperwork called an “ascertainment,” which simply states Joe Biden won the election and administration staff may work with his transition team. As a result, Biden and his team can't even talk on the phone with the White House Coronavirus Task Force members, like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to push out wild conspiracy theories about election fraud to raise money for Republicans and his PAC.
With COVID-19 hospitalizations skyrocketing to all new highs, we can't let this madness continue. We're activating our millions of followers to knock down Trump's lies and demand that he stop obstructing the Biden transition.

Let's be clear: Trump's interference with the transition will have no bearing on whether Joe Biden will become the next president. Their only goal is to fuel Donald Trump's bruised ego and keep the money flowing into his campaign from those in his base who are still convinced he might win.
But Trump's refusal to concede is doing real damage, undermining public faith in our democracy as nearly half the country comes to believe that the election was stolen. And it's now undermining the basic functioning of the government as more than 1,500 Americans die a day.
So we've launched a three-part strategy to fight back:
*
We
need
to
aggressively
knock
down
every
baseless
claim
made
by
Trump
and
his
lackeys,
especially
on
the
internet,
where
these
lies
spread
fastest.
Inequality
Media
Civic
Action
has
a
bigger
following
on
social
media
than
nearly
any
other
progressive
organization,
positioning
us
to
counter
their
lies
on
the
spot.
*
*
We
must
hold
the
Republicans
who
continue
to
enable
Trump
accountable.
It's
simply
reprehensible
how
many
Senate
Republicans,
from
Mitch
McConnell
to
Lindsey
Graham,
continue
to
validate
Trump's
lies.
*
*
We
will
challenge
the
Biden
team
to
fight
just
as
hard
as
McConnell
does,
using
every
legal
tool
at
their
disposal
rather
than
putting
hopes
in
the
idea
that
Biden
can
convince
Mitch
McConnell
to
compromise
and
collaborate
(he
can't
and
he
won't).
Donald Trump is launching an all-out war on our democracy, and by kneecapping the transition, he is risking tens of thousands of additional COVID-19 deaths just to feed his ego.
