A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

People For Member,
The New York Times just reported that the Capitol Police are now opening
field offices around the country to monitor growing threats to lawmakers.
Six months following the deadly siege on our U.S. Capitol by Trump’s mob,
the assault on our democracy is far from over.
With the support of our members, People For is helping to lead the fight
to stop anti-democracy extremists and hold insurrectionists and those
incited them accountable.
To mark the six-month anniversary of the insurrection online donations
will 3X-MATCHED, but only until Friday.
[ [link removed] ]So please give now – any amount you can – and your impact will be
TRIPLED to power this important work>>
The lies and conspiracy theories that fueled the January 6 insurrection
are still being nurtured by far-right leaders, including Trump’s most
fervent supporters in Congress. Those same lies are being used to attack
the right to vote with racist voter suppression laws around the country,
threatening our free and fair elections. Republicans keep trying to bury
the truth, putting up one roadblock after another to prevent meaningful
investigations into the attack on the Capitol.
Now, House Republican Leader and Trump ally Kevin McCarthy is in the
process of choosing which Republicans he will recommend to a new select
committee, pushed forward by Speaker Pelosi, that will investigate the
insurrection. What kind of pro-Trump extremists he might try to embed in
this important committee we’ll have to see.
We need your help to be able to defend the work of the House select
committee from far-right attacks – both from outside the committee and
perhaps from within. And we need your support to keep fueling our work to
take on the far-right extremists who continue to wage war on the truth and
on American democracy.
People For’s Right Wing Watch just released an in-depth report examining
the off-duty law enforcement officials among those seditious rioters
charged with crimes on January 6. We’re organizing and supporting the
fight for accountability. And we’re making sure that voters have
accountability for the insurrection – and attempts to cover it up – on
their minds when they cast their ballots. Your role in this is crucial.
Your support for this work will be TRIPLED if you chip in now and take
claim your piece of the insurrection accountability matching fund.
[ [link removed] ]Please make a 3X-MATCHED donation right away to hold insurrectionists
accountable>>
Those who recklessly try to downplay the seriousness of the Capitol siege
or push false narratives that deny the facts of that day are playing with
fire. Accountability and a full reckoning for January 6 and the groups and
individuals involved is the only way to prevent such an attack from
happening again.
We’re starting to make progress with the new House select committee but we
need to keep pushing.
Thanks for being a partner in this fight.
