Dear New York MoveOn member,
Yesterday, Donald Trump stood in front of the world's media and said that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin over every U.S. intelligence agency when Putin claims that Russia didn't meddle in the 2016 election. He even suggested that we should make Russian intelligence agents part of the Mueller investigation, rather than the subjects of that investigation.
Tomorrow, we have a chance to escalate our outrage and demand that we hold Trump—and the Republicans who are failing to take action—accountable.
On Wednesday at sundown in over 100 cities and towns around the country, we're coming together for "Confront Corruption: Defend Democracy" vigils, where we'll demonstrate that the American people will fight for our democracy even as Trump backs down before Russian attacks.
Can you join us Wednesday for a rapid-response vigil to defend democracy?
When: This Wednesday, June 18
Where: Near you (click here for the closest event)
What: Vigils to bear witness to the attacks on our way of life

The past two years have shown that Republicans in Congress will give Donald Trump a pass on almost anything, from his response to the Charlottesville attack to his relentless assault on the Mueller investigation. But Trump's horrendous showing in Helsinki appears to have riled up people across parties. Spontaneous protests erupted at the White House last night to greet Trump, and just take a look at some of the summit's coverage in local newspapers around the country:
MoveOn members have been at the forefront of calling for and defending the independent Mueller investigation into Russia's interference in our elections and the Trump team's involvement. We have consistently called out the anti-democratic, self-dealing practices of Trump and his kleptocratic Cabinet and family. And we have been in the fight to defend our democracy from Big Money, gerrymandering, and other right-wing attacks. Now that it's clearer than ever Trump won't defend Americans from Russia's attack, it's a critical moment to show up and take action.

Thanks for all you do,
