John, we promised to never forget this day.
One year ago today, a violent mob of insurrectionists attacked the Capitol in an attempt to discount our votes and overturn the 2020 election results.
Many have said that what transpired on January 6 was not America. They are wrong. This is America, and it will continue to be America, until white supremacy is dismantled.
This is the America that Black people know. To declare that this is not America is to deny the reality that Republican members of the U.S. House and Senate incited this coup by treasonously working to overturn the results of the presidential election.
What happened one year ago was a vivid reminder of how much work is still ahead of our country to address the forces of white supremacy in our government and to make our democracy work for all of us. This day made it clear to all of us that defeating Trump was only the first step in a long process to heal our country.
That starts with making sure endorsers of white supremacy aren’t allowed to continue serving in our government. That’s why Cori has been fighting since her first week in office to pass legislation that would remove each and every representative who incited this insurrection from office.
It’s important we raise our voices today to demand accountability for this shameful day. Will you add your name right now to co-sign Cori’s resolution calling on Congress to investigate and expel the Republicans who helped incite a deadly coup at the Capitol building on January 6, 2021?
We will never forget what happened on January 6, 2021. And we will never stop speaking out against the white supremacy that’s still prevalent in our country.
It’s painful to look back on this disgraceful day in our country’s history — but we made a promise to hold every Republican accountable for their actions and to never stop pushing back against the hatred and division they sowed in our democracy.
It was only Cori’s first week in office when this attack happened. But she jumped into action immediately to introduce her first-ever piece of legislation calling for the expulsion of Republican insurrectionists from office.
Hundreds of thousands of you have already co-signed Cori’s resolution — and this widespread support is why we’ve built the momentum to propel this investigation forward until justice is served.
It’s critical we show the urgency of our movement especially today as we remember this day in history. Add your name right now to support Cori’s resolution to investigate and expel the members of Congress who helped incite the deadly insurrection on our Capitol.
In solidarity,
Team Cori
