Friend,

RSVP to join one of the 600+ nationwide demonstrations happening today and tonight to call for Trump’s impeachment and removal.

We’re rallying the American people, in all 50 states, ahead of tomorrow’s historic impeachment vote on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee released a 658-page impeachment report, to accompany the articles of impeachment against Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The report declares: “President Trump should be impeached and removed from office.”

Editorial boards of newspapers across the country are calling for Trump’s impeachment, based on the uncontested evidence of Trump’s shakedown of Ukraine for his own personal political gain, followed by an ongoing cover-up.

Trump abused the powers of the presidency to cheat in 2020’s election, withholding aid and support to Ukraine on the condition that Ukraine’s leader give him dirt on a 2020 presidential rival, fundamentally corrupting our democratic process.

On top of this, Trump is subverting Congress as a co-equal branch of our democratic government. Despite Trump’s efforts to prevent every witness from testifying, and to block all of our requests for documents, the evidence is overwhelmingly clear. Seventeen patriots came forward over the past month to provide the American public with damning proof.

Trump and Republicans aren’t disputing this evidence. What they’re trying to debate now is whether it matters… whether Trump can repeatedly break the law in plain site.

And it’s clear that they think he can.

As Judiciary Chair Rep. Jerry Nadler said: “What is central here is, do we want a dictator?” If we let Trump put himself above the law, we set a dangerous precedent not only for the rest of Trump’s presidency but for all future political leaders.

That’s why I’ve been pushing for impeachment since day one. Impeachment is not just about Trump. It’s about our democracy, our Constitution, and who we are as a country. Is this country for the American people, including communities most vulnerable to Trump’s abuses of power, or is it for the wealthy and powerful few like Trump?

We have to draw a line in the sand, and say: “This country is for all of us. Here, all are equal before the law.” We must impeach Trump.

Right now many Representatives are deciding how they’ll vote and they’re paying attention to our nationwide mobilizations. Your activism today will impact how many Representatives vote on impeachment, what the media narrative will be, and ultimately how Senators will behave as impeachment likely moves to the Senate.

Friend,

BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee just voted to approve two articles of impeachment against Trump: for abusing his power by coercing Ukraine to do his political dirty work, and then for covering it up by obstructing Congress during our impeachment investigation.

Next week, the full House of Representatives will likely vote to determine whether Trump will be the third President in U.S. history to be impeached.

This is huge. Although the date of next week’s vote isn’t yet confirmed, more than 100,000 people across the country have already signed up to rally the night before the floor vote—to show that the American people support impeaching this dangerous, corrupt, racist President.

Where will you be on the eve of this historic impeachment vote?

Click here to find an event near you and RSVP for this historic nationwide mobilization.

• What: 450+ family-friendly "Nobody Is Above the Law" rallies

• Where: Nationwide in public squares and at congressional offices

• When: The night before the House of Representatives takes its historic vote to impeach Trump, likely next week

• Note: The House floor vote is not yet scheduled. You’ll receive a notification when the date of the House vote is confirmed.

After a marathon hearing and debate yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee decided to postpone the vote until this morning, so this historic moment could happen in the light of day.

I want to pause and say thank you.

I’m proud that together we have led on this issue—first during our campaign and now in the halls of Congress. Together, we’ve worked with pro-impeachment activists from the get-go because we have seen the lawlessness of this president since even before he was elected. Together, we made this happen.

Like most progressive changes in this country, we’ve come so far because of a grassroots movement by and for the American people. Many members of that movement are concerned that the articles of impeachment are focused too narrowly on Ukraine.

Trump’s Ukraine-related offenses are really just the tip of the iceberg: Over and over again, he has undermined our democracy for his own personal and political gain.

The articles of impeachment also don’t cover Trump’s racist abuses of power or his many direct violations of our Constitution. For example, just yesterday Trump once again openly violated the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, as part of a record-setting Twitter rampage, where he tweeted more than he ever has in a single day since taking office. Promoting his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, from which he still profits, Trump called it the “Southern White House.”

We have to set a precedent that this blatant disregard for our Constitution is unacceptable. So while we’ve come so far, these articles don’t go far enough.

However, we can make sure that they will be enough to impeach and remove Trump.

And it’s urgent that we do so. As Rep. Jerry Nadler noted this week: “We cannot wait for the election to address the present crisis. The integrity of that election is one of the very things at stake.”

The world is watching, as history is in the making. We need to make sure as many U.S. Representatives as possible vote YES on one or both articles of impeachment.

Not everyone will vote based on their conscience or their oath of office to protect the Constitution. Many will vote based on what their constituents are saying. And Senators will be paying attention, too, since they will take the reins after our impeachment vote. That’s why it’s so important to demonstrate that the public is demanding impeachment.
