| Dear Friend, The January 6 committee is planning to resume hearings on September 28.(1) But will anyone be watching? The committee has said it will call witnesses, including Clarence Thomas' wife and former member of Congress Newt Gingrich, whose testimony will show how Donald Trump's Big Lie has affected every level of government.(2) We can't let those witnesses be aired on C-SPAN at 10 am on a workday. So here's our plan: We've already collected nearly 200,000 signatures -- including yours! -- demanding that Congress hold the meetings in prime time and that the major networks air them. If we can raise $20,000 in the next 96 hours, we are going to run ads that share those 200,000 signers' demands in the publications that the members of the January 6 committee read, including The Hill and Politico.
Don't forget, Donald Trump’s endorsed candidates across the country are repeating his lies over and over again, and they’re instigating unprecedented political violence and attacks.(3) The only way we can stop Trump’s lies is by putting the truth about him and the January 6 insurrection in front of as many eyes as possible. And he’s encouraging his endorsed candidates to undermine our democracy. MAGA candidates for state legislature and secretary of state are promising to swing elections for Trump in 2024 -- no matter who actually wins the vote.(4) People MUST witness these next testimonies and understand the danger that our democracy is in from MAGA candidates. With your donation, we can ensure that Congress knows the public wants to see the hearings in prime time, and we can spread our message far and wide so that the networks can’t ignore our call to air the hearings. Can we count on you? Thanks for taking action to save democracy. –Irene, along with Amber, Angela, Annie, Isidra, Jay, Lindsay, LisaMarie, Mai, Mai, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team)
