Dear John,

Normally our emails are filled with pithy updates, feminist must-dos, action alerts for your members of Congress and the like. But tonight I’m writing not for those reasons, but to share our thoughts about the impeachment. And more importantly, why this moment matters.

At the National Women’s Law Center, we know that the rule of law is critical to our democracy and to our country’s health and vitality. It’s the backbone of all of our rights. And the historic vote in the House to impeach President Trump tonight sends a clear and critical message: the rule of law matters, and no president is above the law.

The rule of law is but a hollow promise without accountability. In this unprecedented time, that accountability rests with the Senate to — above all else — live up to what the Constitution requires and ensure a full and fair impeachment trial. And in this unprecedented time, that accountability also lies with each and every one us who calls this great nation our home. We the People must come together now to demand that the Senate do what is right and choose country over partisan interests.

What’s right is full transparency.
What’s right is a fair process and thorough hearing.
What’s right is fighting for the kind of government we can believe in.

This moment is scary and can seem uncertain. But we must put our faith in each other, in what’s right, and in our power to effect change.

In solidarity,

Fatima Goss Graves
President and CEO
