| We have to get to work Pamela, Donald Trump was just convicted on all 34 counts in his hush money trial in New York today. This is a historic moment in the fight for our democracy and an absolute victory for accountability and the rule of law. 
We know what Trump and his MAGA Republican allies and enablers will say: They will spin, spin, spin. They will attack the judge, the jurors, the law. They will flood the zone with disinformation to try to convince the public this doesn't matter or isn't real. They will tear down our democratic institutions in an effort to protect their dear leader We're not going to let them do that. We're going to make sure the truth shines through. We're going to repeat the truth again, and again, and again: Donald Trump is a convicted felon. Found guilty on all 34 counts by every single juror. Found guilty of interfering with an election -- with his own election. Repeat this truth. While we can all take a second to revel in Trump finally facing some repercussions, it's important to remember that these convictions will not prevent Trump from raising money, they will not persuade his strongest supporters away from voting for him, and they won't stop him from becoming president for a second term. With this verdict, our work has never been more important. Our job now is to ensure voters understand this conviction is a confirmation that Donald Trump illegally interfered in his own election. He is unfit for the presidency, and the work we collectively do to defeat him in November will still be the last line of defense between this country and enduring facism. What this conviction does give us is undeniable proof of Trump's corruption, greed, and complete apathy toward any law of this land that does not directly benefit him. It is a reminder of why we work. It is a reminder of just what we're up against. It is a call to action. Here's how you can respond: - Join us (Leah and Ezra) tomorrow, Friday, May 31 at 4pm ET/1pm PT. We hold informal coffee discussions periodically with the movement, and conveniently our next one was already scheduled for tomorrow at 4pm ET. This will be a space to ask questions and discuss what comes next.
- Check to see if Neighbor2Neighbor is available in your area. Neighbor2Neighbor is Indivisible's highly effective, community conversation program, and pre-registration is open now. To defeat Trump, we're going to need to organize every voter we possibly can. If you want to have the biggest impact on voter turnout, this is the most effective way we've found to mobilize community members (our numbers prove it).
- RSVP for the Majority over MAGA Weekend of Action Kickoff Call on Thursday, June 13 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. The MAGA Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade changed the course of contemporary American politics by making it clear to all of us that MAGA Republicans weren't just here to make threats, they were going to follow through and rip away our rights. Help us remind people that there's a better option. For more information on the Weekend of Action itself, check out our Majority over MAGA Weekend of Action (June 21-24) Toolkit, and join the kickoff call to hear specifically about how we'll be highlighting the ongoing fight for reproductive rights this election year.
- If you are able, chip in $10 (or more) to support the work we are doing to keep Trump out of the White House. Our job this year is working together to win a true trifecta, codify reproductive freedoms, and pass democracy reform, but we can't do that without your support. Every dollar you give goes toward the tools and manpower needed to make sure we beat back MAGA extremism again.
We are finally seeing the beginning pieces of accountability for Trump, but that doesn't mean we can take our foot off the gas. We must defeat him and the rest of his MAGA supporters in November. We must and we will. In solidarity,
Ezra Levin & Leah Greenberg
