Can we send you a free "Impeached!" sticker?

It's official: The House has voted to impeach Donald Trump, making him only the third president in United States history to achieve such an infamous designation.

Dear MoveOn member,

It's official: The House has voted to impeach Donald Trump, making him only the third president in United States history to achieve such an infamous designation.

This is an enormous milestone, driven in large part by the work of MoveOn members like you, Mar.

To mark this momentous event—and to remind the senators who will now pick up the impeachment process that no one is above the law—MoveOn has printed a big batch of impeachment stickers, and we're giving them away for free. Over 100,000 MoveOn members have already ordered their stickers, and this is your last chance to get yours before we run out. 

Just click here or on the image below to order your free sticker now!

As we move into the next phase of the impeach and remove fight, let's not forget just how much work went into building a movement to make Trump's impeachment possible.

MoveOn called for Trump's impeachment over two years ago, after his first attempt to obstruct the investigation into Russian meddling into our election, and ever since, MoveOn members and our allies have been steadily growing a coalition of support for impeachment in the face of Trump's continued, blatant, and unrepentant criminality.

Although the House voted to impeach Trump on only two counts—abuse of power and obstruction of Congress—they point to the larger pattern of his corruption and cruelty.

As the Mueller report laid out, Trump attempted to obstruct that investigation at least ten times, and he encouraged contact between his campaign and Russian agents.

Not only did he attempt to bribe Ukraine into interfering in the 2020 election, he openly called for China to do the same, and then directed his administration to refuse to cooperate with the House's investigation of those efforts.

And most heinously, he violated international law by ripping children from their families at the border and holding immigrants and asylum-seekers in concentration camps, often without access to food, water, hygiene products, or medicine.

Donald Trump may not have earned much in his life on his own, but he earned his impeachment.

Now, let's spread the word that Trump is not above the law and make sure that the Senate does its job by convicting and removing him from office.

Sign this petition re: impeachment trial in the Senate

Sign this petition demanding that Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans allow direct witnesses to testify in the Senate impeachment trial. 

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

Mitch McConnell stated this week that he will not allow any direct witnesses to testify in the Senate impeachment trial against Donald Trump.¹ This is unacceptable. Mitch McConnell is not fulfilling his oath of office as Senate majority leader. He should call all direct witnesses to testify, because Americans have a right to know the truth. 

Mitch McConnell cannot continue to rig the system in favor of a corrupt and bigoted administration.

Will you sign the petition demanding that Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans allow witnesses to testify in a fair impeachment trial in the Senate?

Sign this petition demanding that Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans allow direct witnesses to testify in the Senate impeachment trial. 

The House of Representatives impeaching a sitting president is historic and deserves to be taken seriously by the Senate. Unfortunately, however, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are falling into their political lines and staying complicit with the greed and corruption of this administration.

If Mitch McConnell continues to stop witnesses from speaking in front of the Senate, he is protecting an administration rife with bribery, obstruction of justice, and corruption.

If this administration has done no wrongdoing, then these direct witnesses will be able to provide President Trump some very much needed exculpatory evidence. If there was no wrongdoing, Republicans, McConnell, and this administration should have nothing to fear from the questioning of first-hand witnesses.

First-hand, direct witnesses should be required to testify in front of the Senate for a fair impeachment trial. The American public has a right to hear the truth.

Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.

Thanks for all you do.

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 Smith, Gerald 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

What's next on impeachment?

Last night, Donald Trump became only the third president—in all of American history—to be impeached.

Dear MoveOn member,

Last night, Donald Trump became only the third president—in all of American history—to be impeached.

Now, the impeachment fight moves to the Senate, where anything could happen. Because, as Rachel Maddow recently reminded us, "impeachments are unpredictable".¹

Bombshell evidence dropped "out of the sky" during Richard Nixon's impeachment, causing what had been "unimaginable defection from Richard Nixon's camp," including members of Congress who had led his defense.² And he was forced to resign.

To force Trump's conviction—or resignation—we must be steadfast and unrelenting, keeping a laser focus on what we can do to pressure on-the-fence Republicans to support a fair trial.

MoveOn is ready to spring into action to put maximum pressure on persuadable Republican senators to agree to a fair trial. But we've been going all-out on impeachment for weeks now, and we need to raise $500,000 in the next 24 hours to launch billboards targeting senators, extend the contracts of our organizers on the ground in key states, print more materials for protests and rallies outside senators' offices, and more.

Will you rush a $3 donation right now to help CONVICT and REMOVE Donald Trump from office?

We will not stop until the final vote in the Senate is cast. And we will never give up when it comes to defending our democracy.

Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the Senate will conduct the trial in "total coordination" with the White House.³

But it's not just up to him. A majority of senators need to agree on the rules for Trump's impeachment trial, and that means that only four Republican senators need to insist on a fair trial.

If McConnell gets his way, the Senate trial will be a total sham. But, if we keep taking to the streets, rising up, and being loud, and if we convince four Republicans to insist on a real trial, with a full accounting of the evidence, we can prevail—just like when, through our grassroots activism, we stopped McConnell from repealing the Affordable Care Act.

Which is exactly what we will do, with your help.

Will you rush a $3 donation right now to help CONVICT and REMOVE Donald Trump from office?

With your help, we will:

• Expand our billboard campaign to build public support for impeachment. MoveOn needs your help to buy billboards in the districts of on-the-fence Republicans. Our billboards will very visibly help get the truth out about the extent of Trump's crimes—and that Republicans STILL are defending Trump, even as more and more damning evidence is exposed.
• Fully fund our team of organizers on the ground in key states. We've recruited and trained an incredible team of organizers in the key states with senators most likely to support a real trial, but we don't yet have the funding we need to pay for their salaries through a full Senate trial. This is an absolute must.
• Take on Trump's lies directly online and on TV. We don't need to counter the millions of dollars that Trump and his enablers are spending to spread lies and misinformation dollar-for-dollar—because the people are on our side. But we do need to have substantial resources to reach the activists who are ready to get involved to tell the truth and give them opportunities to act, like protesting, calling Congress, and showing up at their lawmakers' offices.
• Expand our bird-dogging operations in Washington, D.C. For months, MoveOn has been following lawmakers to ask them a simple question: Is it OK for a foreign government to interfere in our elections? Now, we must bring that pressure to on-the-fence Senate Republicans. Wherever they run and hide, we must find them. And when they try to wiggle out of answering our question, we must make sure their constituents know about it.

We have a historic chance now to convict and remove Donald Trump in the Senate—if we seize it. Please chip in $3—or whatever you can afford—right now to help finish the job and end Trump's lawless presidency.

Thanks for all you do.

Curious: Why did you join the Impeach & Remove event?

We want to hear from you. Can you take a quick survey about your Impeach & Remove event?

Dear Mar,

Today, history has its eyes on Congress—but last night, we couldn't take our eyes off of you.

With more than 600 events in all 50 states, you showed our entire country exactly what democracy means: people demanding better from our representatives by reminding them that no one is above the law, not even the president.

Was the Impeach and Remove event everything you wanted it to be? What were the highlights? Do you have feedback for the organizers? Click here to fill out a brief survey to let us know how the event went, and we'll share it with the Nobody Is Above the Law coalition.

On a national scale, there is no doubt: this mobilization met a historic moment. Below are just a few pictures from around the country:

Take it in. That's you out there.

Here's the bottom line: this mobilization brought people across the country into the streets. What about these events brought you out? What will you remember from this experience? Take a quick survey and let us know.

If it sweetens the deal, the video clip from the Rachel Maddow show last night highlighting our nationwide events awaits you on the page you'll see after completing the survey. :)  

Thanks for all you do.

Important updates about Impeachment Event tonight

Dear friends,

Thank you so much for signing up for this crucial national mobilization.  As you know, there are now over 600 events in all 50 states; in Raleigh alone over 2200 people have signed up.  This evening will be a pivotal moment in the history of this country.

If you can't come and even if you can:  Don't forget that another important way we can show our support for the impeachment and removal of this president is by calling Senators and Representatives.  Phone numbers are the end of this letter.  Call every day.

Some important details about tonight:

This is a peaceful protest.  The Capital police (different from the Raleigh police) are not giving us a permit.  We are not sure exactly why or exactly what this means.  We do know that we must take good care of ourselves and each other to make sure everyone is safe.  Please be respectful to the police; they are supporting our consititutional right to peaceful assembly.  These are not the same people who refused our permit.

If there are counterprotesters, please do not engage with them in any way unless you are completely comfortable with your skills in de-escalation.  

Bring a flashlight.  Do not bring weapons or carry signs on sticks.  

It most likely will be raining, so do whatever you can to be as comfortable as possible in the rain.  Also be prepared for cooler temperatures in the evening.

We plan to start at 5:30 pm in Bicentennial Plaza (not Bicentennial Mall)  between Jones and East Edenton St, beginning near Jones Street and eventually marching toward and then around the Capital Building before returning to where we started.  There will be a vigil in the plaza for people who are unable to walk this distance.

Parking on the street in Raleigh is free after 5 pm; before that there are meters.  I am going to try again with a map of the area.  There are two parking decks on Edenton St; one of them has an entrance on Jones St.  

In case you missed it, here is a link to Rachel Maddow's show last night in which she talked about this national mobilization.

If you take pictures, you can send them to photos@moveon.org.  Videos can be sent there too.  The social media hashtag is #NotAboveTheLaw.  

This event is being hosted by Tuesdays with Tillis.  We protest every single week (rain or shine) from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm at 310 New Bern Avenue, Raleigh 27601.  Everyone is invited to join us any week and to sign up for our newsletter. 

This effort has already been so inspiring.  Even if it rains, tonight will be great.  See you soon.

Karen, Mike, and Marci
