While the stakes of prosecuting Donald Trump are high, “so are the costs of not prosecuting him, which would send a dangerous message, one that transcends even the presidency, about the country’s commitment to the rule of law,” as The New York Times reports.

Regardless of whether or not Trump is prosecuted for his crimes, the fact is that he and his loyalists defied expectations two election cycles in a row, and despite a record turnout from Democrats across the country, many Americans still overwhelmingly support the GOP’s far-right agenda. The protests calling for recounts in battleground states weeks after the election are proof of that.

Trump spent his time in office attacking reproductive rights, voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and our access to affordable health care during a global pandemic -- and yet too many people STILL support him, in large part because they admire him for going against “the establishment,” by which they mean our democratic norms.

While Trump attempts to distract millions with his voter fraud circus, we know our focus must be on reinforcing the democratic integrity he sought to destroy by restoring the Voting Rights Act, supporting Democrats across the country, and supporting progressive legislation that directly combats the GOP’s archaic vision for America. The fact is that Donald Trump and his administration still have a number of weeks left to wreak havoc -- and we expect them to do nothing less.

Now is not the time to look away, but that is exactly what millions of Americans are doing, falsely believing that the work is done. We will need sustained grassroots support to block the GOP’s anti-everyone agenda in the Senate and state legislatures if we have any hope of really restoring our country, but we’re already running low on funds.

 

Our efforts would be impossible without you and all the Democrats who believe a better government is possible. We hope that you will stand with us in our fight to overcome Trumpism and everything it represents in Washington and throughout our country. We simply don’t have time to rest, which is why we’re asking now: Will you chip in $10, $25, or whatever you can spare to ensure that progress prevails in Washington?

 

 

Thank you for standing up for our democracy when it matters most.
