Convicting and disqualifying Trump is an uphill battle -- but it's not impossible

Indivisibles,

A shred of good news on the impeachment front: yesterday, six GOP senators broke with their party to move the impeachment trial forward.

Six is a start, but we have work to do -- to reach a conviction, at least 17 Republicans will need to vote to convict Trump of incitement of insurrection. That’s an uphill battle, but it’s not impossible. Trump’s legal team has already started doing the work for us: even the likes of John Cornyn, Ted Cruz, and Lindsey Graham admitted they were confused and that Trump’s defense didn’t address the question at hand.

If the Senate doesn’t convict Trump, there’s no way to disqualify him from holding office in the future. Our job now is to keep applying relentless pressure on senators to show them their constituents are watching and demand accountability. There are two key ways you can support this work right now:

  1. Call both your senators, today and throughout the trial, to demand they vote to convict and disqualify Trump. We can’t stand by while Republicans let Trump skate past, inciting violence and disrupting the peaceful transition of power without accountability or justice.

  2. Make a donation to Indivisible Project to support all our work. Keeping these call pages up and running, developing new guidance to respond to the latest news, funding all the digital tools we use to communicate with activists -- it all costs money. We’re grassroots-funded, which means we rely on you to make that all possible.

We have the power to make sure senators are hearing the message about Trump’s guilt from multiple angles: from the House impeachment managers in the trial itself and directly from their constituents every day. We really do have a chance to ensure accountability for Trump’s actions and start the process of healing our democracy, but it’s going to take hard work and a massive movement to succeed. Thanks for doing your part.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
