Dear John,

Yesterday, the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 insurrection held what is likely its final hearing, and it was yet another blockbuster.

Chilling video filmed inside the Capitol on January 6 showed congressional leaders including Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell scrambling for safety.

Emails and audio recordings showed Trump allies saying before the election that he would claim victory no matter what. In one especially chilling clip released a few days earlier, long-time Trump advisor Roger Stone says, "F*ck the voting. Let's get right to the violence."

And then, to finish it off, the committee unanimously voted to subpoena Donald Trump himself to answer questions under oath about his role and actions during the insurrection.

No one who watched these hearings gavel to gavel could deny Trump’s personal culpability in the attack. But the reality is that most people simply don’t have time to sit around watching congressional hearings, and if they did, they’d probably be bored stiff.

That’s why the team here at Inequality Media Civic Action has been scrambling day and night as these revelations have emerged to assemble and distribute the most critical moments into brief, sharable video explainers for YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat.

Producing and distributing this much high-quality content in such a compressed timeline isn’t easy. So I’m asking you to make a donation to help support our work and get the truth uncovered by the January 6 Select Committee to the American people.

Never in our lifetimes has our democracy been in such peril. The January 6 attack wasn’t just an isolated event. It was simply one step in a long — and ongoing — strategy by Trump and his cronies to dismantle American democracy.

Many of those MAGA Republicans will be on the ballot in November, running for Congress, state legislature, governor, and even the key offices that oversee and administer our elections. That’s why we can’t let the investigations of the January 6 committee disappear from memory like the Mueller report.

The stakes are too high for America to tune this out.

But most working people are too busy with life, work, and family to watch hours of congressional hearings. And as a teacher who interacts with college students on a daily basis, I promise you that young people certainly have other things to do with their time.

That’s why Inequality Media Civic Action has spent years building an audience of millions of people across social media and across America — and honing our skills at producing substantive video content that people will watch, including in their spare minutes while standing in line or waiting for the bus.

If Trump and the other enemies of American democracy are to be stopped, then the mountains of jaw-dropping evidence compiled by the House Select Committee must be seen and remembered by the American people.

Will you make a donation to Inequality Media Civic Action and help us use social media to get the truth uncovered by the January 6 Select Committee to the American people?

Thank you for helping defend our fragile democracy,
