Throughout these last 3 years, we have watched in despair as Donald Trump has caged children, betrayed our values, enriched himself, divided the nation, fostered bigotry, corrupted our institutions and desecrated the constitution.

...at every turn, we have stood firmly and proudly in defiance of him and done our best to enable our fellow Americans to do the same.
and here we are, Donald Trump has been impeached and he awaits his verdict in the Senate...

It is incredible that we have made it this far considering the political and cultural hurdles that come with serving justice to the rich and powerful.
But it is also abundantly clear that the majority in this senate has forgotten who they work for and what they swore to defend.

Tomorrow, they will vote on whether or not to allow witnesses to testify. Something that 75% of Americans want to see happen. Something that would likely lead to the end of Donald Trump's presidency and the first real sign of America's rehabilitation.
Failure to remove Trump now, after all that we have seen and endured, is tantamount to saying that bribery, corruption, election tampering, obstruction of justice, all of it and more! are somehow not beneath the office of the Presidency.
It is, in essence, a rubber stamp of approval for all future corrupt leaders and a signal to the world that the United States is in fact what they feared we had become... a broken democracy, bought by the corrupt, with a meaningless system of rules, laws, checks or balances.
This is why we are here to tell you: Be READY!
-Be ready to protest!
-Be ready to leave work (if you can)!
-Be ready to occupy your senator's office, local statehouse, public square!
-Be ready to peacefully agitate, take up space, and make noise!

The significance of this moment cannot be understated! and we simply cannot afford to wait for the next scandal, the next impeachment, or the next vote. It must be now!
