Friend,

This week, before entering the House floor, some of my colleagues were frustrated by new security requirements, including metal detectors.

These are the same members of Congress who have enabled this twice-impeached president’s worst instincts and behavior, which resulted in a violent right-wing mob of white nationalists and unhinged conspiracy theorists attacking the U.S. Capitol in a failed coup attempt.

At a time when our communities, our employers, our schools, and our healthcare systems are struggling in the midst of this pandemic; and when our democracy is under relentless attack both from within and outside our government, I say to my fellow colleagues on the other side of the aisle:  

Suck it up buttercups. Y’all brought this on yourselves.

We’ve heard many Republicans call for unity before and since yesterday’s impeachment vote. But unity cannot happen without accountability.

Donate today to hold members of Congress accountable who enabled violent insurrectionists, and to demand a full investigation of who was involved in this coup attempt.

While Donald Trump assembling and unleashing this violent mob on the U.S. Capitol was a visible act of sedition, we are still sorting out who else from within the federal government aided this attempted coup. But we know to start with the over 150 Congressmembers who chose to side with the white supremacist insurrectionists and betray our country by refusing to certify the votes of the American people―thereby attempting to overturn the results of a legitimate election so an authoritarian could stay in power.

Join me in holding Republican members of Congress accountable for their actions, which led to the breach of the U.S. Capitol and loss of life. Donate today.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:

The violence, destruction, and oppression of Trumpism will not end until we as a country do the hard work of reckoning with white supremacy, fighting for our communities and our country, and finally building a government and country based in the foundations of justice and equity for all.

Thank you,

Rashida
