Six months ago today, insurrectionists stormed the Capitol building. We’re still furious, and still fighting for accountability. Here’s what we’ve done, what we’re doing, and how you can help:
We filed two criminal complaints against Donald Trump: one in Fulton County, GA after he pressured GA Sec of State Raffensperger to overturn the election results and one to the DOJ and FBI for seditious conspiracy. Trump is reportedly under investigation by the Fulton County DA.
We’re suing multiple agencies, including DOJ, DHS, DOD, the Army, and Interior to find out exactly how they prepared for and responded to the violence. We already know that DHS Federal Protective services downplayed warning signs leading up to the attack. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
We’re tracking the corporations that are donating to support the Sedition Caucus--the members of Congress who voted against certifying the election and continue to propagate the Big Lie. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
@Toyota, @JetBlue, @Walmart, @HomeDepot, @comcast and @ATT are just some of the companies that have donated to support insurrectionist members. Boycott them until they promise to stop giving--and actually stick with it.
We’re telling the Senate to get rid of the filibuster. 35 senators, including some who helped incite the violence on 1/6, used the filibuster to block a commission to investigate the attack. If you think the filibuster needs to go, email your senators: citizensforethics.org/news/analysis/…
We’re fighting for the passage of the For the People Act, which will protect our democracy and elections in the future by cracking down on corruption, fighting big money in politics and expanding access to voting. Tell your Senators to pass the bill here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-y…
We’re calling attention to Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, Kevin McCarthy and other members who worked to overturn the election, encouraged insurrectionists and voted to cover it all up. No one who helped incite an attack on Congress should be serving in Congress.
You can help support us in all of this work by making a matched donation to CREW today. Throughout July, a generous donor is matching up to $75,000 in donations. We couldn’t do any of this work without the support of our followers. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/ma…
Six months later, the memory of January 6th is still painful and infuriating. We cannot allow it to just be brushed aside—we need accountability. And we’ll keep fighting until we get it.

You’ve heard about Toyota. Now let’s talk about @Cigna.
Like Toyota, Cigna is supporting insurrectionist members of Congress. And many of the insurrectionists Cigna has donated to since January 6th work on healthcare issues--issues that Cigna has a stake in.
Take Rep. Bill Johnson, for example. Rep. Johnson sits on the House Energy & Commerce Committee which plays “a key role” in developing America's healthcare policies, per his website. He also voted to overturn the election. Cigna gave him $2,500 after that vote.

Bad news: As of today, Louis DeJoy has been postmaster general for A FULL YEAR.

Good news: The USPS Board of Governors can fire him, and they need to do it now. We have a whole year’s worth of reasons why.
Let’s start at the beginning. Before his nomination, DeJoy and his wife were prolific political donors. From 2016-2020, DeJoy donated over $2M to support Trump and the RNC, evidently enough to get him and his wife two powerful roles in the Trump admin. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
Louis DeJoy was reportedly recruited by Treasury Secretary Mnuchin despite being the first person in decades to lead the USPS without prior experience as a letter carrier or working within the agency. We’re still fighting for more information on this.

A year ago, peaceful protests for racial justice across the country were met with undue force by the Trump administration and local police forces. The public deserves to know exactly how their government worked to target and suppress protestors.

We’re fighting for answers.
On June 1, 2020, Trump and Bill Barr had peaceful protestors violently cleared from Lafayette Square so Trump could have a photo op. We’re suing for records on how that was allowed to happen. citizensforethics.org/legal-action/l…
We also have an ongoing lawsuit against DOJ and DHS for failing to turn over documents on federal officers’ role in policing anti-racism protests. citizensforethics.org/legal-action/l…

Update on our case about the memo Bill Barr relied on to justify saying the Mueller Report did not support obstruction charges against Donald Trump: we just filed our opposition to the government blocking the full memo from coming to light immediately.
The DOJ only released a few paragraphs of the 9 page memo, but even that is significant. Let’s talk about it.
The documents show that DOJ wasn't deciding whether Trump obstructed justice, they were deciding on a PR strategy.

How do we know?

When you see anti-HR 1 talking points getting tweeted out by certain members of Congress, you have to remember that the Koch network has backed plenty of those members, and really does not want HR 1 to pass
Take Ron Johnson for example:
Or Marsha Blackburn:

Erik Prince was reportedly behind a campaign to surveil and discredit perceived enemies of President Trump inside the government, like H.R. McMaster and employees of the FBI. There's nothing normal about that.
nytimes.com/2021/05/13/us/…
The fact that Prince founded a mercenary army and is the brother of Betsy DeVos makes it even more concerning, as does the fact that he was also reportedly advising the White House at the same time.

Prince is already under investigation by the DOJ over whether he lied to a congressional committee examining Russian interference in the 2016 election.
