[1]Women's March
We’ve seen a lot of members of Congress call for “unity” in this
moment, John.
But here’s the hard truth: Anyone who fails to affirm that Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris won a free and fair election has no authority to call for
unity.
We can only unite based on a shared commitment to a democracy that works
for all of us, no exceptions. That is why we are demanding accountability
and supporting a slate of legislation to hold Trump and his enablers
responsible for the disgraceful stain they’ve left on our democracy.

Can you rush a donation
of $6
to help us pass the following legislation to demand accountability?
* Rep. Cori Bush’s House Resolution 25: Immediately after the Capitol
was attacked, Rep. Bush introduced this resolution to expel every
member of Congress who incited violence at the Capitol through their
attempts to overturn the election. By inciting this attempted coup,
they violated their Oath of Office and, per Section 3 of the 14th
Amendment — they must be expelled.
* Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s Congressional Oversight of Unjust Policing Act
(COUP Act): This bill will establish a commission to investigate the
attack, along with the ties between white supremacists and Capitol
Police. It’s critical we pass the COUP Act so we can determine whether
there was coordinated effort to take over the United States government
with violence and understand why our government was so outrageously
and dangerously unprepared to deal with an attack we knew was coming.
* Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Articles of Impeachment: Immediately following the
events on January 6, we joined Rep. Omar in calling for immediate
impeachment. Although Trump has already been impeached, it was crucial
to set a precedent and bring new articles forward. Through these
efforts, Trump is now the only president to ever be impeached twice.
We are now preparing to put pressure on the Senate to finally convict
Trump.

Since white nationalists launched their failed attack on the Capitol, the
GOP has insisted that we should just move on and focus on unity. For
years, they claimed to be the party of “law and order” to advance their
racist agenda — but when it comes to sedition, terror, and violent
vigilantism they couldn’t care less.
Let’s make this clear: Unity is more than just a hashtag or a talking
point. Unity starts with accountability and meaningful action to ensure
that our votes and voices are represented in Congress.
True unity can only be forged when our leaders start serving their
constituents in the same way women-led movements have worked together this
past year to protect voters rights and pass critical COVID relief. Real
unity is feminism in practice: rising above our differences to care for
our communities and refusing to abandon each other to guarantee our
collective survival.
Together, we can leverage the power of our women-led movement to organize
so we can pass Rep. Bush and Rep. Bowman’s bills and meaningfully work
toward unity.
