Dear Friend, 

Speaker Nancy Pelosi drew a bright line in the sand when she announced a
formal impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump.

But when it comes to following through with impeaching Trump, all eyes are
on us.

If we don't come together with a deafening, impossible-to-ignore call to
remove Trump from office, Republicans and corporate Democrats will claim
the public is on their side and refuse to impeach. The Women's March and
By the People are bringing Americans together for #ImpeachNow rallies this
Sunday, October 13 -- and we need everyone who cares about our democracy
to join in.

happen if we demand with a united voice that Congress act. Click here to
find your local #ImpeachNow rally to attend on October 13.

Trump's quid-pro-quo request of Ukraine to investigate his political rival
is the very definition of “high crimes and misdemeanors” envisioned by the
Constitution. It's treasonous. It's an abuse of power of the highest
order.(1)

Trump and his administration have been wielding the executive branch to
undermine our democracy, pit Americans against each other, and enrich and
empower themselves. Trump has used his office for his own profit by
currying favor from foreign powers. He's ramped up an illegal war in
Yemen. He's separated children from their families and put them in cages.

And after nearly three years of chaos in the White House, politicians are
finally coming out against Trump.

More than half of the House of Representatives supports an impeachment
inquiry, and for the first time, 58% of Americans do as well.(2)

But with Mitch McConnell pushing back in the Senate, and Democrats in
swing districts looking for political cover, impeachment itself is far
from a sure thing unless we have a massive show of support.

Trump is counting on his never-ending news cycle to take his crimes out of
the media's spotlight, causing Rep. Pelosi to lose momentum. He's counting
on progressives to be too exhausted by his barrage of attacks on our
democracy to stand up against him.

We're going to prove Trump wrong, by coming together for the #ImpeachNow
rallies this weekend to let Congress know we will not stand by and let him
destroy our nation.

do their duty and stop Trump.

Yours in the fight for our democracy,

Mary, along with Analeeza, Brenna, Brian, Caitlin, Deepthi, Diego, Eddie,
Gabby, Jay, Lindsay, Molly, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team)
