EVENT FRIDAY: Rep. Raskin & Defending Democracy

February 5, 2025

Donald Trump pledged to be a dictator on day one, and he’s making good on his promise. The Trump administration is unlawfully shuttering federal agencies and making unauthorized budget freezes and cuts, usurping congressional power and creating a constitutional crisis. The actions taken by the Trump administration have violated the Constitution, and it’s incumbent on Congress to assert its authority, defend our democracy, and restore checks and balances.

Join us to hear more from Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-08) – the leading Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee and a constitutional expert – on Friday, February 7, at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Defending Democracy: How Congress Can Fight Back

Join us to hear from Rep. Raskin about what YOU and your members of Congress can do to defend our democracy and stop Trump’s illegal power grab.

We hope to see you this Friday.
