Today marks one year since our nation watched in horror as a violent,
white supremacist mob attacked our nation’s Capitol.

The attack was a blatant attempt to silence the will of the people,
particularly the record number of Black and brown voters who made their
voices heard in the 2020 election. And today, one thing remains painfully
clear: white supremacy continues to threaten our democracy, our
communities and everyone who calls the United States home.

That is why I’m joining my sister-in-service Congresswoman Cori Bush in
co-signing her bill to investigate and expel the members of Congress who
incited this hateful attack on our democracy.

join me by adding your name alongside mine to defend our democracy, root
out white supremacy, and hold accountable the members of Congress who
enabled an attempted insurrection on our nation’s seat of government?

Add your name

The January 6th insurrection was traumatic for everyone involved. As a
Black woman in America — to experience the ancestral trauma of a violent
white supremacist mob seizing the building, brandishing Confederate flags
and erecting a noose on the Capitol grounds was all too familiar.
Tragically, the threat remains today.

The same white supremacist threat fuels efforts by our Republican
colleagues — many of whom supported and incited this attempted coup — to
continue spewing lies and misinformation about the 2020 election results.
It fuels the coordinated assault on our sacred right to vote. None of this
is by happenstance.

At this moment, we do not have the luxury of simply turning the page on
this ugly and painful chapter in our nation’s history. To heal our
collective trauma, to protect our communities, defend our democracy and
ensure an attack like this never happens again, there must be
accountability.

[ [link removed] ]Please
add your name now in support of investigating and expelling the
insurrectionist members of Congress who incited the January 6th attack
from our seat of government.

Our work to root out white supremacy in all of its forms, safeguard our
democracy, and protect the wellbeing of our communities is far from
finished. We must remain uncomfortable with what happened that day and the
trauma it caused. We cannot grow complacent and we must move with the
urgency this moment demands.

In solidarity,

Ayanna
