We need massive uprising from every democratic constituency/interest group in every state with repub

senators when the senate gets the impeachment case.

It needs to be the most stunning uprising ever, because it is for no less than the rescue of our democracy from true villains.

Our entire loose network of activists on every issue need to pull this together... how to get this organized...?! I haven’t heard/read anything about it yet. Unless we are content to let it be spontaneous and settle for whatever (winter) turnout we get. Hoping someone steps up to lead the charge throughout all our networks.

All they care about is reelection. For most of them, reelection is a pretty safe bet because they represent fairly red states. For the ones who represent swing states, they don't fear protests. They are much mire afraid of Democrats registering people to vote.

The night before the House of Representatives takes a somber vote to impeach Trump, we'll head to every congressional office and public square to declare that Nobody Is Above the Law as representatives finalize their positions and senators look on.

Join this historic nationwide mobilization on the eve of Trump's impeachment vote: RSVP for an event near you or sign up to host one. Events will be visible, family-friendly, public gatherings to demonstrate to our lawmakers that their constituents are behind them to defend the Constitution—and that Trump has left them no alternative to uphold their oath of office but to support impeachment and removal.

Put your zip code on this page to find event near you. https://www.impeach.org/event/impeach-and-remove-attend/search/
