Dear MoveOn member,

According to bombshell new testimony before the congressional committee
investigating the January 6 insurrection, Donald Trump's top White House
staff, including Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, were directly involved in
planning the march that led to the attack on the Capitol that day.^1

This is the most direct evidence yet that the January 6 attack was just
what we thought: a violent coup planned at the highest levels of the White
House—and it's a terrifying reminder of how much danger our democracy
remains in right now.

In fact, Trump has begun talking openly about how he plans to steal the
2024 presidential election, and one of his most dangerous strategies is to
install allies in key state offices that oversee elections, count votes,
and declare winners and losers.

Far-right white supremacists are running for secretary of state with
Trump's official endorsement all over the country, including in
battleground states like Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona.^2

Should they win, they'll be positioned to do exactly what Trump asked
Georgia's secretary of state to do in 2020: ignore the legitimate election
results and reinstall Trump in the White House.

That's why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our 23-year
history: We're launching a powerful, multimillion-dollar effort to defeat
Trump-backed secretaries of state across the country and elect individuals
who will count every vote and ensure fair elections.



But we can't pull it off without your support. Can you chip in
$5 a month to help defeat Trump-backed secretaries of state
and stop Trump's next coup?

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.

Ever since January 6, Trump and his inner circle have desperately tried to
insulate themselves from any of the blame for the deadly assault on the
Capitol that day. Now, eyewitness Scott Johnston has come forward and told
the January 6 committee that, in fact, the White House was in on it from
the start.

According to Johnston's testimony, Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and
Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson spoke to insurrection leaders on the
phone before the rally and urged them to march on the Capitol. They also
directed them to "make it look like they went down there on their own" so
that Trump wouldn't be personally implicated in the violence.^3

But instead of being held accountable, Mark Meadows wrote a best-selling
book. In fact, none of the top-level coup organizers has faced serious
repercussions, and Trump has promised to pardon the January 6
insurrectionists if he's reinstalled in the White House in 2024. And he's
getting behind a slate of candidates for secretary of state who will do
his bidding and "find the votes" he needs to regain power.^4

Trump is saying all of this right out in the open at his rallies.^5 But
like so many times before, the mainstream media is refusing to take his
threats seriously.

We cannot allow Trump loyalists to oversee our elections. The survival of
our democracy is on the line. That's why we've launched a massive campaign
to defeat Trump-backed candidates for secretary of state and elect honest
officials who will count every vote and respect the will of the people.



But unlike the GOP, we don't have giant corporations behind us. We're
powered by people and tens of thousands of small monthly donations. Can
you chip in $5 a month to help defeat Trump-backed
secretaries of state and stop Trump's next coup?

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.

[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.



Thanks for all you do.
