🗽A well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 7, 2023
“On January 6, 2021, the world witnessed a violent and unprecedented attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Vice President, Members of Congress, and the democratic process. Rioters, attempting to disrupt the Joint Session of Congress, broke into the Capitol building, vandalized and stole property, and ransacked offices.”
Video of events from that day can be found here.
On February 7, 2023, Representative Matt Gaetz and others introduced a resolution declaring that former President Donald Trump did not engage in an insurrection.
In response to the resolution introduced by Matt Gaetz trying to erase the history of January 6, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:
“Representative Matt Gaetz and his fellow Republican MAGA extremists that signed on to this resolution have forever signed their fates into history. They will forever be known as representatives who stood against the values of America when they turned their back on justice.
People Power United will continue to push back against injustices and hold our leaders accountable to the people they serve. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices,” said Laurie Woodward García of People Power United.
