People For Member,

Today marks the six-month anniversary of the January 6 Capitol
insurrection.

As criminal cases involving members of the mob who stormed the Capitol
wind slowly through the courts, we have still not had accountability for
the many far-right leaders who stoked the flames of violent sedition
leading up to that day.

We know that Trump very directly incited the insurrection. But a
significant number of his close supporters in Congress helped. And far
greater number from his party have since worked to whitewash and deny the
facts of the incident. It began with the Senate’s acquittal of Donald
Trump in his second impeachment and has continued through Republicans’
ongoing obstruction of a deep bipartisan investigation into the event.
It’s an outrage.

All donations today and for the next 72 hours will be 3X-MATCHED to supercharge
the work needed to hold insurrectionists accountable!

[ [link removed] ]Will you mark the six-month anniversary of the Trump insurrection with
a 3X-MATCHED donation to hold insurrectionists accountable and fight back
against the Far Right’s ongoing assault on democracy?

Last week, after months of stalling and flat-out refusals by Republicans
to support a bipartisan commission, the House passed a bill to create a
select committee to investigate the insurrection – with only TWO
Republican votes.

We need to support the work of the House’s select committee. And we must
continue the fight to expose and hold accountable all of the groups and
individuals – including elected officials – who helped organize or
encourage the insurrection, as well as those who seek to downplay its
importance.

Without a full account and understanding of why the insurrection happened
and why it can never be allowed to happen again, an event or events
similar to January 6 almost certainly will happen again – perhaps with
even deadlier results.

White supremacist rage, dangerous conspiracy theories, eliminationist
rhetoric aimed at the Far Right’s political opponents (that’s
us)…  these threats
have only grown since January 6.

Just because Trump is no longer in the White House or at the top of every
day’s headlines doesn’t mean the movement that he helped radicalize isn’t
recruiting, plotting, and raising resources to continue their subversion
of our democracy.

At People For, we track the far-right movement closely. And, as you know,
we’re battling every day against that movement’s elected representatives
in Congress and state legislatures around the country who are using the
same Big Lie at the heart of the Capitol insurrection (that the election
was stolen from Trump) to destroy American democracy by attacking the
right to vote.

[ [link removed] ]Chip in today with a 3X-MATCHED donation to triple your impact in the
fight to get to the full truth about the January 6 insurrection and make
sure it doesn’t happen again by holding those responsible accountable!>>

Your role in this shared fight of ours is more important than you know.
Thank you so much for everything you do.

-- Ben Jealous, President
