PFAW Member, In the wake of the siege of the U.S Capitol, an attempted coup aimed at overturning the legitimate results of a free and fair election, People For is leading a long-term campaign to end attacks on our democracy and stamp out the incitement and encouragement of white supremacist violence by far-right political leaders. Please renew your support with an emergency donation immediately to help fund this effort>> First order of business: we’re fighting to remove Trump from office immediately. Donald Trump started the lie that gave birth to the insurrectionist movement embraced by his most fervent supporters and poured gasoline on the fire at every turn, including directly inciting the deadly riot that stormed and breached the seat of American democracy. We’re working to make sure every far-right terrorist who invaded the Capitol is arrested and charged to the fullest extent of the law. We’re pursuing various mechanisms of accountability for Trump’s enablers in Congress who also helped incite violent sedition by promoting Trump’s lies and conspiracy theories and using dangerous rhetoric to rile up their supporters towards insurrection. Our tools include public pressure, congressional censures, accountability at the ballot box, and pushing for criminal prosecution where appropriate. And we’re going all-in with the investigative capabilities of People For’s Right Wing Watch – the country’s premier team of researchers and reporters tracking and exposing the Far Right movement – to pull every thread and find the connections between elected officials and members of law enforcement and the white supremacists, neofascists, and other seditious groups behind the January 6 insurrection, and other insurrectionist activity still being planned. All of this work to hold far-right traitors accountable is VITAL to ending the rise and normalization of violent extremism. And it’s resource intensive – we need organizers, investigators, robust media strategies and more. We’re working around the clock to pull all the pieces together but we need your help. Thank you so much for all your incredible support. We need to meet this critical moment with determination and a steadfast commitment to the values that we know America must reflect. -- Ben Betz, Digital & Organizing
