PFAW Member, The impeachment trial is under way and we have just a few days to convict Donald Trump and prohibit him from running again for office. We’re mobilizing pressure on key Senate targets … amplifying the clear case for why Trump MUST be held accountable in the press and online … and dismantling the Right’s completely bogus – and dangerous – arguments about why Trump should be let off the hook. But we need your help. This week, generous supporters are 3X-MATCHING all online donations to hold Trump accountable! With your help, we’re fighting like hell to hold not only Trump accountable, but also the members of Congress who helped create the atmosphere that led to the Capitol riot on January 6 and have had Trump’s back since then. And we will KEEP fighting for accountability … including for senators who refuse to do their constitutional duty by convicting and disqualifying Trump. There is no defense for Trump inciting an insurrection against the country he swore to defend. Every argument put forward by his legal team and his far-right political allies has been a joke. Yet still, right-wing senators are indicating that they’re willing to ignore reality and shut their eyes, ears, and minds to the facts of the case against Trump. As Rep. Jamie Raskin, the head impeachment manager for the House (and former People For Senior Fellow), said in the opening day of the Senate trial yesterday, they’re trying to create a “January exception” in the Constitution … a legal black hole that will allow a corrupt president to do anything with complete impunity in their final weeks in office. And yes, that is as ridiculous and dangerous as it seems. We can’t let them get away with it. All donations 3X-MATCHED! We all need to stay in this fight. Our democracy depends on it. Thank you for all you do. -- Ben Jealous, President
