Dear Katy,

Tell the Senate: Convict Donald Trump

For the third time in our nation's history, the House of Representatives impeached the person occupying the White House.

Trump's attempted bribery and extortion and his threats to our democracy are plain for all to see. His conviction depends on Senate Republicans putting democracy before party – and that will require massive public pressure.

We have proved that public pressure delivers results. When progressives, working with champions Reps. Al Green and Rashida Tlaib and other fearless congresswomen of color, first started pushing for impeachment, establishment Democrats resisted and publicly fought the idea. It was only after months and months of sustained grassroots pressure from CREDO activists and others that Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats got on board. Now, we need the same outcry turned upon the Senate.

The impeachment hearings in the House show us what to expect in the Senate. Instead of showing they were serious about getting the facts, House Republicans mounted a ridiculous performance intended to appease Trump's fragile ego. They suggested both the Departments of State and Justice were plotting against Trump, ignored serious questions, dabbled in conspiracy theories, attacked witnesses, blamed the Bidens and attempted to out the Ukraine whistleblower.

Trump has essentially committed bribery to get the jury of senators on his side. He is wooing Republican senators by helping them raise money at events and by deploying his campaign email list to fundraise for them. And Mitch McConnell is delivering. He has repeatedly been clear that he will be working lockstep with the White House and has rejected Democrats' efforts to agree on a bipartisan plan for the Senate trial.

Only a massive outcry from voters can force Republican senators to take protecting our democracy seriously. It will take phone calls, rallies, and public actions – and it starts with people like you speaking out right now.
