Keep up the momentum to #ImpeachNow
Dear MoveOn member,
Impeachment.
That word is finally being said loud and clear across the halls of Congress, in media across the country, and by voters everywhere—and now a majority of the House of Representatives supports this impeachment inquiry, including your member of Congress, Representative Stephen F. Lynch, who was part of the flood of support for impeachment this past week.
Now, Congress is home for recess, and it's an opportunity to thank Rep. Lynch—and to also make sure he knows that constituents expect him to keep supporting a robust, transparent, unhindered inquiry that leads to a vote on actual articles of impeachment and the impeachment of Donald Trump.
If you can host an event, click here to sign up—or check out this map of events to see if there are opportunities near you. MoveOn is partnering with Indivisible, Stand Up America, By the People, Women's March, and more on Impeach Now actions throughout the recess, and we hope you'll be involved!
Just yesterday, MoveOn led a coalition of 30 progressive groups to hold an action at the Capitol, where we were joined by leading members of Congress to demand impeachment. Organized in 48 hours, this action generated images that have been featured in The New York Times and on national news shows, images that captured the passion for impeachment, firing up members of Congress who need to know that voters are on their side.
Here are a few of the images from the event:
Of course, MoveOn members have been in this fight for a long time. We called for impeachment over two years ago, after it was clear that Trump abused his power and sought to obstruct justice by firing FBI Director James Comey over the Russia probe.
Since then, our protests, rallies, relentless calls, persistent social media pressure, original videos seen tens of millions of times, and leadership in the Nobody Is Above the Law coalition helped lay the groundwork for where we are now, making impeachment a possibility.
As a former top aide to Hillary Clinton said in Vanity Fair, “You couldn’t have gone from 0 to 60 miles per hour just based on Ukraine ... But roughly 150 members had already come out for impeachment before Ukraine. If groups like MoveOn and Indivisible hadn’t built that foundation, you’d be starting from scratch trying to get freshmen from swing districts, and it would have been much harder."
And that's why we're building on this work—to deliver thanks and continued vigilance and pressure to members of Congress over this recess. Please click here to step up and host an event near you—and we'll help recruit people to join you in delivering a message to Rep. Lynch.
Now isn't the time to hit the brakes. It's time to hit the gas.
- First, we need to keep up momentum through the recess—thanking Democrats who have stepped up and demanding they stand strong, pressuring holdouts, and turning up pressure on Republicans.
- Then, we need to defend the impeachment process from the right-wing echo chamber and amplify its findings—to ensure impeachment is supported by more and more of the American public.
- And we need to begin to build the case for Republicans in the Senate to support impeachment—or be held accountable for aiding and protecting a criminal in the White House.
This is a lot of work—but we've been in this fight together for years. And if it takes six months to move through an impeachment trial—or 14 months to bring this criminality and corruption all the way to the election—we will confront and defeat Donald Trump, together.
Thanks for all you do,
–David, Isbah, Robert, Kenia, and the rest of the team
