Friend --

The news cycle these past weeks would lead you to believe that leaders in Washington are just now stepping up to hold Trump accountable—wrong.

Trump has been begging to “go back to the good old days” and it’s beginning to look a lot like July 25th, 1974 when Congresswoman Barbara Jordan delivered a powerful televised opening statement as the House Judiciary Committee began consideration of articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon.

Black women leaders like our 2018 endorsed candidate Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Rep. Maxine Waters, and others are following in her footsteps and have been consistently and persistently calling for the impeachment of President Trump.

On September 12th, Rep. Lucy McBath a member of the House Judiciary Committee cast a vote to begin an impeachment inquiry into President Trump.   

Back in April, Rep. Pressley stated in an interview with Boston Public Radio <[link removed]>:

“There's a lack of moral fortitude and fitness to even be in this office...I mean here's the thing — I have felt for a long time that this administration has lost all moral authority and there are many impeachable offenses.”

Over two years ago, Rep. Waters appeared on the podcast “Cape Up” <[link removed]> and proudly stated:

“Why would we let somebody like Trump, a con man, come in here and turn it all upside down with his lies and his disrespect? And so, I personally feel very strongly about this and I’m going to keep working until he’s impeached.”

Well, we’re here and we are very grateful for their persistence.

An impeachment doesn’t mean our work gets easier. Matter of fact, with impeachment proceedings beginning we must double down on our work to prepare for what could be an unknown yet uphill battle of 2020.

Black women’s leadership is making a difference in Washington. We need your continued support to elect and mobilize Black women. Join us today, and stand with Black women leaders like Rep. Ayanna Pressley!

We need to raise $50,000 by October 25th to show that we are fully vested in continuing to take back Washington. <[link removed]>
