Last night, the House select committee held its first hearing regarding
their investigation of the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
It’s more evident than ever that Trump and his allies like Rand Paul are
responsible for the violence and carnage of January 6. It was fueled by
hate and racism, lies of a “stolen” election, and a desperate grab for
power. Countless first responders were critically injured. Six people
died.
We refuse to forget the sacrifice of our first responders. We refuse to
forget this attack on our democracy. We must continue calling for justice
until every person, every elected official involved in the attack is held
accountable.
You know who wishes we’d forget? Rand Paul. He’s tried countless times to
gaslight us into thinking it was just a “tourist visit”. Rand voted to
block a full investigation into what happened.
Because he was complicit. For months leading up to the attack, Rand Paul
stoked his base, promoting false narratives of “stolen votes” and fraud –
a claim that members of his own party have even walked back.

It’s shameful — but it is nothing new. For years, Rand Paul has
been working to suppress our votes to keep his own seat.
Kentucky has one of the worst records of voter disenfranchisement in our
country’s history. For too long, massive groups of people, especially
Black and brown communities, have been excluded and discouraged from
voting. As a result, the number of people in Kentucky who don’t vote
outnumber those who do.
We know that a different type of politics is possible — and that’s what
our movement is fighting for. Together, we have the power to replace Rand
Paul and every politician who betrayed our democracy last January.

in $5 or anything you can today to our people-powered
campaign? We must send a loud and clear message today to Rand Paul that
this movement remembers and that we are rising up to hold him accountable
at the ballot box on Election Day.
