John, the Electoral College coup was an attack on Black voters.

Ratified in 1870, the Fifteenth Amendment ensures the right to vote regardless
of race.

 

In the nearly 100 years between the Reconstruction Amendments and ratification
of the Twenty-fourth Amendment, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights
Act of 1965,white supremacists smothered the Black vote—with poll taxes,
grandfather clauses, literacy tests, and any other method they could concoct.

 

Today, voter suppression efforts continue to plague the country—but earlier
this month, we saw a new strategy fordisenfranchising Black voters:

 

Just don’t count them.

 

That’s what Ted Cruz tried to do. Josh Hawley and Rick Scott tried, too. 

 

After the Trump legal team failed to specifically throw away votes from dense,
Democratic-leaning urban areas in states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and
Michigan,the new Jim Crow Caucus opted to exclude entire slates of electors.

 

Just hours after domestic terrorists attacked Congress, Cruz, Hawley, Scott,
Kevin McCarthy, and dozens more pushed forward in theirattempt to throw out
Black votes.

 

This is today’s Republican Party.

 

This is the legacy of Trumpism.

 

John, we must continue to fight until every seditionist and every white
supremacist is vanquished from our nation’s political discourse.

to help make the rest of Ted Cruz’s, Rick Scott’s, Josh Hawley’s, and Kevin
McCarthy’s careers aspolitically painful as possible?

 

There must be accountability: for violence, for sedition, and for white
supremacy in the halls of Congress.

 

Help us keep up the fight.
