Nobody is Above the Law Rally in Viroqua tonight!
Show your support for impeachment and make your voices heard.
Be part of a massive, grassroots effort to ensure Congress holds Donald Trump accountable for using military aid to pressure Ukraine to interfere in our 2020 elections. Demand that the House of Representatives fulfills its constitutional duty by impeaching Donald Trump and that the Senate remove him from office for attempting to rig the 2020 elections. Congress must show that no one—including the criminal in the White House—is above the law.
Join in a nationwide mobilization on the eve of this historic vote. For more info, visit https://act.moveon.org/event/impeach-and-remove-attend/search/
