[ACTION ALERT] Support Cori Bush's bill to hold Ted Cruz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and other white supremacists accountable

John, Why are there still people in Congress who played a role in the attempted coup a few weeks ago? It is not enough to denounce the white supremacy behind the attack. We must remove its endorsers from Congress -- Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylo…
