Thank you from Impeach and Remove Rally hosts

Friends,

We did it! We came together despite the weather and the denial of our permit and exercised our constitutional right to speak out! We marched for democracy and the rule of law. As Aylett Colston said on Tuesday night: "The first three words in the constitution are  'We the people' - and that is us."

Thank you all for coming out on Tuesday to make history, some from far away. We loved your signs, your enthusiasm and your commitment to a peaceful evening of protest.

Many thanks to our inspiring speakers: State Senator Erica D SmithGerald Givens, President Raleigh Apex NAACP, Faisal Khan, Carolina Peace Center, Aylett Colston, Attorney, Raleigh Apex NAACP, Rabbi Raachel Jurovics, Yavnah: A Jewish Renewal Community, Bob Phillips, Common Cause NC and Joy Weeber, Disability Advocate. Thanks to our musicians Randa McNamara and Michael Flaherty. Thanks to our marshals and the Raleigh police, who kept things moving along safely and peacefully. Thanks to those of you who cheerfully helped out when asked. We are so proud to be a part of such a wonderful community of activists.

Impeachment has happened. Right now, it is vitally important that we keep the pressure on our representatives. We know that Senators Tillis and Burr are probably not going to vote to remove, but they still need to hear very clearly what we think. Please call them daily at (202) 224-3121 and let them know that our President should not be above the law.

You are all invited to continue to protest with Tuesdays with Tillis every Tuesday, 11:30-12:30, in front of the Terry Sanford Federal Building. This week, we are demanding that Tillls and Burr Vote to Remove. If you can't make it, you are welcome to keep up with us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MeWe or our newsletter. We look forward to continuing our work together.

Thank you all for standing up for our democracy. 

Marci, Michael and Karen
