John,
Last year, only three days after Cori was sworn into office, white supremacists attacked the Capitol in a deadly insurrection.
Cori immediately got to work to hold Republican Members of Congress who incited the attempted coup and tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election accountable. In fact, Cori's very first piece of legislation called for the expulsion of Republican insurrectionists from office.
GOP endorsers of white supremacy must face consequences for their actions. Yet in the last year, we've seen Republicans try to downplay and spread disinformation about the January 6 insurrection again and again. And still, Cori's resolution has not been voted on by the House of Representatives.
It's time to pass this legislation and remove Republicans who attempted to overturn the 2020 election results and incited the terror attack on the Capitol from office.
We need to raise our voices together to call on Congress to take action. Will you co-sign Cori’s resolution calling on Congress to investigate and expel the Republicans who took part in the deadly insurrection now?
The January 6 attack was about much more than the results of the 2020 election, it was a racist attempt to invalidate the voices of Black, brown, and Indigenous folks. It was an effort by Members of Congress to further white supremacy.
And still today, these members walk the halls of Congress putting the lives of their colleagues, staffers, and employees at risk. These same members harass Cori, refuse to follow Covid precautions, and bring weapons onto the House floor. We must ensure these endorsers of white supremacy aren't allowed to continue serving in our government.
By refusing to act, we send a message that this white supremacist violence is acceptable in our country and every would-be insurrectionist has the green light to try again.
In solidarity,
Team Cori
