People For Supporter,

This past weekend underscored the ongoing threats facing democracy from
the Far Right.

After fifteen rounds of voting, Rep. Kevin McCarthy was elected as the new
Speaker of the House by the slimmest of margins. This is the first time in
100 years that it has taken more than a single round of votes to elect a
new speaker – and demonstrates just how much the GOP and Kevin McCarthy
are willing to compromise with the far-right fanatics within their party.

It’s these very same fanatics who will be pursuing a scorched-earth
campaign to undermine any accountability for the January 6 insurrection by
pursuing hearings and investigations that serve no purpose or benefit
other than to stir up their hardcore base of supporters – [ [link removed] ]and why we
must double down on our own efforts to urge the Department of Justice to
fulfill its responsibilities and act on the January 6 Committee’s criminal
referrals. Add your name to our petition to the DOJ now >>

Failure to hold Trump accountable will have dire consequences for global
democracy.

Undoubtedly inspired by the January 6 insurrectionists, supporters of
former Brazilian President Jair Balsonaro (an extreme right-wing
politician) stormed government offices in the Brazilian capital on
Saturday – a scene reminiscent of the pro-Trump mob that forced their way
into the U.S. Capitol building.

Accusations of a “stolen” and “rigged” election when Bolsonaro lost his
bid for reelection paved the way for the attack, just as it did here in
the U.S. following Trump’s loss.

If we fail to hold Trump accountable for his attempts to undermine our
democracy, the reverberating effects may prove catastrophic for
democracies around the world.

[ [link removed] ]Please add your name now and call upon Attorney General Merrick Garland
and the DOJ to prosecute Trump to the fullest extent of the law. >>

Trump may no longer be in office but the threat he and his loyal
supporters pose to our democracy persists.

Thanks for all that you do in the ongoing efforts to hold Trump
accountable.

Zach, People For the American Way
