Dear MoveOn member,

Mitch McConnell and Senate Rules Committee Chair Roy Blunt have instituted
unprecedented press restrictions in order to prevent the public from
having full access to Trump’s Senate impeachment trial—including limits on
what the public can see and on reporters' ability to talk to senators.^1

Without the free press, we can’t fight against abusive governmental
policies or defend our basic freedoms.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition demanding Mitch McConnell allow press to have regular
access to the impeachment trial.

We urge Mitch McConnell to rescind the new, unprecedented restrictions on
the press seeking to inform the public about the Senate impeachment trial
of Donald Trump. This is a crucial and historic moment that makes it all
the more important for this Senate to reaffirm the unanimous Senate
resolution on the vital and indispensable role the free press serves.

The Trump administration has been attacking the free press for years. Now
that Trump has a chance of getting held accountable for his abuses of
power, the Senate is allowing him to hide details from the public.
