It has been exactly six months since the deadly January 6 attack — the
most destructive attack on the U.S. Capitol since the War of 1812. My team
sent you an email in the wake of that assault, and I’ve included it at the
end of my note today so we can remember what that moment was like.
But we have to remember that this was not just a deadly attack on the
Capitol, it was a direct attack on our democracy. The people that stormed
the Capitol — incited by Donald Trump — were trying to overturn the
election results. They were trying to deny the will of the people.
Six months later, we must do everything we can to protect our democracy.
But if Senate Democrats don’t act now to end the filibuster and pass the
For The People Act, our democracy is at even greater risk.
Mitch McConnell and the GOP are blocking any effort to strengthen voting
rights and fully investigate the January 6 attack. At the same time,
dangerous voter suppression laws are being passed across the country to
block the vote and the voice of the people. The integrity of the 2022 and
2024 elections are on the line.
Without immediate action on voting rights, democracy is at serious risk.
That’s why I’m leading the fight to end the filibuster and protect our
democracy — and it’s why I’m redoubling those efforts today as we remember
what happened to our country exactly six months ago.

Subject: We’re demanding justice
Yesterday was a dark day in our country's
history.
Emboldened and incited by Donald Trump, domestic terrorists launched the
most violent assault on the U.S. Capitol since the War of 1812 in an
attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election and attack our
democracy. Four lives were lost.
Pramila and all of us at Team Jayapal are safe. But we're clear-eyed and
undeterred about the work ahead.
Yesterday evening, Pramila quickly called on Vice President Mike Pence and
the Cabinet to immediately remove Donald Trump by invoking the 25th
Amendment. Today, she called on Congress to urgently reconvene and signed
on to once again impeach this president.
With 13 days to go until inauguration day, we'll undoubtedly be told these
fights are in vain. We'll be told to just let it go. But we can't. And if
enough of us join the call to hold Trump fully accountable right now, our
demands will be impossible to ignore. [ [link removed] ]You can help grow our grassroots

Pramila led the fight to impeach Trump in 2019 because it was clear he had
abused the power of his office by trying to coerce a foreign government to
interfere in our elections. "We take our power and collectively, through
our elections, we entrust it to a President who must always act in OUR
interest — not their own." These words still hold true today.
In November, voters chose compassion, truth, and science over cruelty,
fear, and lies. Our leaders should respect the will of the people — not a
small group of domestic terrorists in pursuit of a coup against our
democracy.
No more excuses. Donald Trump has to go — and we will hold him
accountable.

support, we can loudly and unequivocally demand justice — not later, but
NOW.
In solidarity,
Team Jayapal
