BREAKING: TRUMP WAS INDICTED BY THE NEW YORK GRAND JURY. SIGN THIS PETITION!

Dear MoveOn member,

Huge news! A New York Grand Jury has indicted disgraced former president Donald Trump on felony criminal charges!¹ While the specific charges in New York are currently unknown, they are all stemming from his illegal hush money payments to Stormy Daniels in the final days before the 2016 election. Remember, this is the first time in history a former president has been indicted and a critical step to preserving American democracy.² 

This is a critically important development in demonstrating that Donald Trump is not above the law. And democracy demands that other consequences follow suit.

Trump must be held accountable for ALL of his crimes. Join nearly 300,000 voices urging the Justice Department to prosecute Trump if there is sufficient evidence to do so.

While these are the first charges to be announced against Trump since he left office, they are not likely to be the last. Trump and his team are also likely to face indictments in Georgia for their attempts to manipulate the state's 2020 election results, and Trump is also under investigation by the Department of Justice for his role in inciting the deadly January 6, insurrection, as well as for covering up his possession of highly classified documents.³ 

Donald Trump has a decades-long history of criminality and corruption, and for too long he has been allowed to skate by without legal consequences for his actions. That cannot continue.

Join us as we deliver a strong message to Attorney General Merrick Garland that the people of the United States stand for equal justice under the law, even when it comes to former presidents.

Sign this petition demanding that Attorney General Merrick Garland prosecute Trump immediately!

In order to dial up the pressure on law enforcement agencies, MoveOn will be publicly demanding that federal prosecutors charge Trump for his crimes. Which is why it is so important that we lock arms to say that no one, not even Trump, is above the law—and show a massive wave of grassroots support for finally bringing him to justice. 

You can help by clicking here, adding your name, and sharing this message with your family and friends.

Thank you for all you do. 

–Justin, Alexis, David, Kelsey, and the rest of the team
