Given the gravity of last week’s events, we can’t shy away from the tough questions.
The United States spends more money on defense, security, and the military than any nation in the world. In the wake of last week’s attack, we must ask how a mob of insurrectionists was able to breach our Capitol building with such ease.
Alexandria is signing on to Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s new bill the COUP Act, which calls for a national commission to investigate the attack and the response of Capitol security. Will you add your name next to hers and sign on too?

Given the gravity of last week’s events, we can’t shy away from the tough questions. We must ask:
- How does a group of violent rioters march into Congress so easily?
- Why were some officers seen taking selfies with rioters who were trespassing on Capitol grounds?
- What role did racial bias play in the police response to this attack?
- What were the links between white supremacist rioters and Capitol Police?
We cannot move on from last week’s events without accountability — including a full investigation into security failures. We’re calling for a commission to get to the bottom of what happened and how it happened:
Sign your name alongside Alexandria’s now to support the COUP Act so we can thoroughly investigate last week’s violent attack on the U.S. Capitol.
If we allow insurrection against the United States with impunity, with no accountability, we are inviting it to happen again. That’s why a thorough investigation is critically important.
Thanks for signing your name,
Team AOC
