A roadmap to undermining our democracy

Help Fair Fight prepare for Project 2025's anti-voter threats 
 
 
 

Pamela,

Under the incoming Trump administration, we expect that the anti-voter threats we've witnessed upend our elections and spread across states could solidify into law

The Project 2025 agenda is a roadmap to undermine our democracy, with plans to weaken enforcement of voting protections, criminalize parts of the electoral process, allow election disinformation to spread unchecked, and give federal access to state voter rolls.

It would strip the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division of its power to defend communities of color and further dismantle the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the cornerstone of civil rights legislation signed at the height of the movement to combat racial discrimination in voting.

We can't wait for Day One — we need to be ready now. Help us fight right-wing efforts to challenge our freedoms and keep us from using our voices by making a donation of $25 or more today.

DONATE NOW

When you combine the dangerous steps outlined in Project 2025 to strip away voting rights with its additional threats to chill the media, crush dissent, and divide Americans by race, ethnicity, and region, the autocratic threat to our country is undeniable.

Fair Fight has faced Trump and his MAGA allies at the state and local level before, and we refuse to back down now. We are unrelenting in our mission to protect the freedom to vote and build sustained political power in the South.

We are prepared for an onslaught of new, restrictive legislation, disinformation, and coordinated attacks on our elections and our democracy. This team needs activists like you with a strong commitment to ensuring every voter can safely make their voice heard to help us fight back — can we count on you to chip in $25 or more today?

Your commitment to protecting democracy drives everything we do, and we are so grateful.

Team Fair Fight

My brother died from the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks. Will you join me in signing the petition opposing Donald Trump pardoning insurrectionists?

My brother, Brian Sicknick, died defending against the violent and disgraceful attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

SIGN: Do NOT pardon the January 6 insurrectionists!

Dear MoveOn member, 

My name is Craig Sicknick. My brother, Brian Sicknick, died following the violent and disgraceful attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. 

My brother died doing his job defending our freedom and democracy. That day is a stain on our country's history. But for me and my family, it's more than that. We will spend the rest of our lives grieving time lost with Brian—a sibling, son, friend, and coworker. We have to live with the consequences of that day for the rest of our lives. 

Donald Trump and his loyalists not only celebrate the deadly mob that killed my brother—they are determined to pardon those responsible. It is a betrayal to not only the families and loved ones of those who were injured and killed but to all Americans. 

Trump will be inaugurated on January 20. Join me in sending a clear message to him and his administration. Add your name to the petition to show the overwhelming opposition to pardoning the insurrectionists.

Brian was caught in the mob doing his duty to protect the U.S. Capitol and uphold the law. He was soaked with pepper spray, collapsed that same night, and died the next day. The stress and trauma of January 6 contributed to the strokes that killed him. 

Julian Khater—the man who pepper-sprayed my brother—was sentenced to six years in prison. But he was part of a larger, violent mob. A mob that Trump incited. A mob that Trump now promises to help evade accountability. If Trump delivers on his campaign promise, then people like Julian will be released from prison, and others will never be forced to face the consequences of their actions. It's just plain wrong. 

Trump has said that he will pardon the insurrectionists on Day 1. Andra, will you sign the petition ahead of his inauguration and make it clear that we, the people, refuse to allow him to erase the truth of January 6?

Join me and my family in telling Donald Trump: Do NOT pardon January 6 insurrectionists! 

Trump urged his fervent followers to march to the Capitol on January 6, 2021—using lies and conspiracy theories to stoke anger and aggression. Thousands forced their way into the Capitol, looting and vandalizing our government, many using weapons and deadly force. 

"Trump asked us to come," they said.1

Nearly 150 people were physically injured. Countless more continue to struggle with mental health from the trauma. Nine people, including Brian, died in connection to the insurrection.2

Trump never called to express his condolences to our family. He doesn't care about us or the people who defended our country that day. 

He cares only about himself. For Trump, January 6, 2021, was what he calls a "day of love." For us, it was a nightmare. 

My brother was just 42 years old. Nothing will erase the events from that day or bring Brian back. But pardoning the insurrectionists is a blow to every single person who cares about fairness, justice, and freedom. 

Join me and the more than 100,000 MoveOn members who signed this petition. Even Vice President-elect JD Vance recently spoke out to say that violent January 6 insurrectionists shouldn't be pardoned.3 We know the pressure is working. We must do everything we can to STOP Trump. Click here to sign the petition, and then share with three friends to help spread the word.

Thanks for all you do.

Craig Sicknick

Pete Hegseth is unfit to lead the Pentagon, friend

Chuck Schumer

Friend,

The Secretary of Defense is one of the most consequential positions in our government. This person runs the U.S. military, advises the president during international crises, and is responsible for the safety of our nation.

Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Pentagon lacks the experience and character needed for this critical position. Pete Hegseth's radical views, alleged sexual assault, and complete lack of experience should all be disqualifying.

Pete Hegseth is unfit to lead the Pentagon. Join me in calling on the Senate to reject his nomination today:

SIGN ON →

At his confirmation hearing earlier this week, Hegseth was asked why a television personality who has never led any large organization should lead the Pentagon. He was asked about his claims that "we should not have women in combat roles." He was asked about his alleged excessive drinking and sexual assault.

But Hegseth dodged each of these important questions.

Now, Republican leaders are trying to rush this confirmation through the Senate -- and denying Democrats' request to review Pete Hegseth's FBI background documents. That's unacceptable.

If you agree the Senate must reject Hegseth’s nomination for Secretary of Defense, sign my petition today.

SIGN ON →

Sincerely,

Chuck Schumer
