Indivisibles,

Yesterday, in the shadow of the US Capital, hundreds gathered to both marvel at and push forward at this moment in history that we’ve been working towards. Here’s the short version: Trump's actions are not just corrupt -- they are a matter of national security, election security, and the integrity of our democracy. 

And we need Congress to treat this matter as such. This is why your pressure on Congress is so crucial to this effort. When we come together and demand what we want, Congress must either listen or get out of the way of the truth.

We're at the point in our democracy, in our history, when just saying facts out loud can sort of sound inflammatory or controversial or even scary to some so bare with us while we point out just a few of the facts:

• The President of the United States held back military aid to a foreign ally that had been directed by Congress.
  
  
• The President of the United States got on the phone with a head of state, a foreign head of state, and asked for a “favor.”
  
  
• The President of the United States asked for help investigating a domestic political rival from a foreign head of state.

Ok. Maybe they’re right… those facts are pretty scary. 

If you missed it, here’s a personal recap of Leah’s speech at the ImpeachNOW event:

The ImpeachNow rally was about challenging Congress to put in the work (much like all of you have been doing over the last 2 years). Rather than going home and letting the news cycle move on without any action (we’ve seen that before), Congress could have canceled their scheduled recess, stayed in Washington, and did their jobs to hold Trump accountable.

Don’t worry! We’ve got a Plan B:

We need Congress to put in the work and hold a vote on impeachment as soon as possible. Every day Trump sits in office without any consequences for his behavior is a threat to the country and our most fundamental principles. So no matter where Members of Congress go, we’ll be there to demand that they hold Trump accountable.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
