Email template: Ask your company's leadership to pressure Congress to impeach and remove Trump

AUTHOR'S NOTE: In light of recent events, major U.S. employers must band together to pressure Congress to impeach and remove Trump from office. Below is an email template. Feel free to customize it when you email your employer. I wrote this template myself. I also used it for its intended purpose.

Ever since he lost the election, President Trump’s baseless claims of mass voter fraud have stoked the flames that led to yesterday’s violent assault on the U.S. Capitol. An armed mob invaded the building even as Congress gathered to certify the electoral votes that earn Joe Biden the 46th presidency. Reputable scholars and some of the U.S.’s own allies believe that the President’s actions qualify as an attempted coup d’état. Trump’s actions place the peaceful transfer of representatively elected executive power, along with the very fabric of our Republic, at risk. Given the global economic and military might of the U.S., a risk to our Republic is a risk to the entire planet’s population.

President Trump’s recent actions, unsurprising in light of his behavior since he ran for president, suggest that he could do more damage to our democracy during his final days in office. Moreover, in 2024, Donald J. Trump – a man who provoked a violent mob to attack the Legislative Branch along with his own Vice President – can run for president again. Americans cannot allow this. The only Constitutional way to prevent it is to remove Trump from office following impeachment. But Trump is just one man. Think of the damage future presidents may do if they know they can incite political violence with impunity. Congress must act.

The main thing that stands in the way of speedy impeachment and removal is political will within U.S. Congress. As a major U.S. employer, [name of your employer] is in a position to influence that will. Many of our customers and employees would celebrate the move. I urge you to work together with other U.S. based industry leaders to pressure Congress to impeach and remove Trump. I also encourage a parallel effort to place pressure on the Cabinet (at least what remains of it after all the predictable resignations) along with Congress again to consider the backup plan of removing Trump by invoking Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

Trump’s Tweets directly incited yesterday’s violence to the point where Jack Dorsey locked the Twitter account of a sitting president. Facebook has banned him indefinitely, as has Instagram. What will we do, [leader's preferred moniker]?
