Indivisibles,
In today’s final January 6th Committee meeting before the midterm
elections, committee members reinforced what we’ve known all along: Donald
Trump led a concerted effort to overturn the 2020 election through
dishonest claims of voter fraud, culminating in his encouragement of the
January 6th attempted coup.
Trump privately admitted that he had lost the election.
He attempted to pressure electors to change the results.
He encouraged his base to refuse the results.
He stoked the anger of known armed extremists at his rally that day.
And when given the opportunity multiple times to try and defuse the
attacks, he refused.
January 6th was no accident. It was an active attempt by a departing
president to seize power regardless of the will of the American people
through violent means -- a coup.
After months of meticulously sifting through the events leading up to
January 6th and presenting the horrifying realities of that day to the
American people, the committee voted unanimously today to subpoena Donald
Trump to testify in front of the panel.
This is a pivotal moment. The facts have been laid out and reinforced by
compounding evidence of knowledge, intent, and action. Now we will
potentially get to hear from the ring leader himself (though we wouldn’t
be surprised if, for once, he refuses to speak).
Emphasizing the integrity of this investigation, Chairman Bennie Thompson
told the American people, “when you look back at what has come out through
this committee’s work, the most striking fact is that all this evidence
comes almost entirely from Republicans.”
These proceedings have not been driven by partisan politics but by the
facts of an investigation into the attempt to undermine one of America’s
most sacred institutions.
But the integrity of future investigations into the threats facing our
democracy are in peril.
We know that if Democrats had not held a majority in the House, there
would have been no investigation into this attack on democracy. Though
many Republicans denounced the attacks as they occurred, many also
participated (and still participate) in the promotion of the Big Lie and
refused to support an investigation into the violence enacted by Trump
loyalists on January 6th. [ [link removed] ]60% of Americans will face an election denier
on the ballot this November.
The 2022 midterm election sets the stage for what is possible in 2024.
The next time Trump (or any other MAGA extremist) refuses to accept the
results of a free and fair election, we know that if Democrats do not hold
a house majority, an investigation will not happen. [ [link removed] ]And they are
already preparing to sabotage future elections.
We must act NOW to stop them:
* [ [link removed] ]Find an event near you to demand accountability for Trump and his
allies. Our Freedom, Our Vote events are happening across the country
through October 23, find one near you and make your voice heard. If
you don’t see one near you, [ [link removed] ]click here to host your own.
* [ [link removed] ]Donate $17 to Give No Ground today. We started Give No Ground with
a small tactical number of races we needed to win in order to hold and
expand our majorities. With our rights -- to have our vote counted and
to bodily autonomy, to name two -- on the ballot, more races are now
toss-ups. We have 17 potential additional candidates, help us expand
our Give No Ground program to reach more voters in key toss-up races
we need to win to keep our House majority.
We have 26 days to secure the future of American elections. There is no
time to waste.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
