Dear MoveOn member, 

Yesterday, as Congress was certifying the results of a free and fair U.S.
presidential election, a mob of white supremacist terrorists—directly
incited by Donald Trump—violently stormed the Capitol and attempted to
overthrow the U.S. government and illegally install Trump to a second
term.

These disgusting acts of terrorism and sedition were the direct results of
Trump's vicious lies, futile attempts to cling to power, and his all-out
assault on our country and democracy. Make no mistake: This is what
treason looks like, and it's absolutely clear that Trump cannot serve as
U.S. president for a single second longer without posing a threat to the
security of our nation. Which is why MoveOn is announcing an emergency
nationwide campaign to immediately remove Trump from office. 

We are calling on Mike Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment
today, declare that Trump is unfit to serve, and remove him from power. If
those officials fail to act, Congress must immediately convene an
emergency session to impeach and convict Trump, remove him from office,
and bar him from ever holding public office again in the future.

We are ready to blanket the airwaves with hard-hitting ads, overload the
phone lines in Congress, and do everything we can to remove Trump and
defend our democracy.

will you rush a $3 donation to power our emergency,
all-hands-on-deck campaign to immediately remove Trump from office? Please
act quickly, as we don’t have much time.



Let us be clear: Trump will not win. Our democracy will prevail. And Joe
Biden and Kamala Harris will be duly sworn in as president and vice
president of the United States.

Nevertheless, every single second that Trump remains in office is another
second loaded with the potential for destruction, chaos, and violence. 

The daily damage he is doing to America—much of it criminal—is
inexcusable. He continues to relentlessly spread conspiracy theories about
voting and federal elections and is actively working to manipulate
election results. He reiterated these conspiracy theories as the siege was
underway yesterday, in the same breath that he called the terrorists "very
special" and shared his love for them.^1

We must rebuke these incursions against our democracy in the strongest
possible terms. And that begins with immediately removing Trump from
office. 

If the vice president and the Cabinet fail to remove Trump from office via
the 25th Amendment, then Congress must immediately act. 

Here's the good news: The House of Representatives has the votes to
immediately impeach Trump. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has already signaled she
will support impeachment, and members of the House Judiciary Committee are
already drafting articles of impeachment. Even a sitting Republican member
of Congress has come out in support of removing Trump from office.^2 

But we know Trump and his allies are going to put up an extreme fight. In
fact, Rush Limbaugh is already calling for the continuation of this
despicable violence.^3



[ [link removed] ]We simply can't let Trump and his fascist enablers get away with this
vicious assault on us, on our country, and on our democracy. Please, if
you can, rush a $3 donation to defend democracy and remove
Trump from office right now.



Thanks for all you do.

Want to support our work? The MoveOn community worked every moment, day by
day and year by year, to resist Trump's agenda and begin the process of
swinging the nation's pendulum back toward sanity, decency, and the kind
of future that we must never give up on. We are now just days away from a
new administration taking power and giving us our first chance it years to
make real, progressive change. MoveOn was built for this moment, but we
need your support to make it happen. Will you stand with us?
