On Jan. 6, 2021, for the first time in American history, the peaceful transition of power was interrupted. The very existence of American democracy was put in danger.

Two years later, and none of the far-right extremists who conceived, organized or incited the deadly insurrection at the U.S Capitol have been held accountable.

In fact, the Big Lie and the Second Big Lie (that Jan. 6 was an actual, legitimate, safe, and peaceful protest) continue to be peddled by many of the same anti-democracy extremists who put our nation at risk in the first place.

That’s why now—more than ever—it’s critical we have your support as we work to defend our democracy and uphold our Constitutional values at both the state and federal levels.

Please, if you’re able, will you be one of the 1,000 committed Democracy Defenders who chips in $5, $10 or $25 before midnight? With today marking two years since one of the darkest days in American history, we need an outpouring of grassroots support to show MAGA extremists that the Pro-Democracy Majority still stands strong and united!

In January 2021, the most extreme, far-right faction of the Republican Party uprooted our most cherished democratic norms and put our nation’s democracy at risk.

Two years later, we’re seeing many of the same bad actors behave in a similar manner on the House floor—unable to elect a new Speaker of the House for the first time in 100 years, and once again choosing far-right, anti-democracy politics over the needs of the American people.

We cannot let this extremist, MAGA minority continue to wreak havoc on our system of self-government and threaten the existence of our democracy, John.

That’s why I’m personally asking 1,000 of our most committed pro-democracy supporters to pitch in ANY AMOUNT before midnight to help Democracy Defense Fund invest in the candidates who will protect our democracy and uphold their Constitutional oath in office. Please, will you chip in right away?

Thanks for your continued support,

Dr. Mary L. Trump
