Rather, we’re seeing that advocates and campaign supporters are even more active than we could have anticipated.  We’ve just witnessed an attack on the US brought on by a president who refuses to accept that millions turned out to elect Joe Biden by overwhelming margins. At the same time, we've seen the number of people taking action via our advocacy platform **double** in the day following the attack on Congress. It's clear our communities are really motivated to contact legislators right now. ![Screen Shot 2021-01-07 at 5.15.29 PM](https://www.newmode.net/hs-fs/hubfs/social-suggested-images/Screen%20Shot%202021-01-07%20at%205.15.29%20PM.png?width=702&name=Screen%20Shot%202021-01-07%20at%205.15.29%20PM.png) We’re going to continue to update this blog post with campaigns launching in response to the need to mobilize and ensure a safe transition of power. ## Campaign Spotlight 🌟 - **Common Defense **has launched [a letter to editors campaign](https://commondefense.us/) demanding Congress protect our democracy and impeach, convict, and remove Trump from the White House for encouraging and enabling the facist coup attempt — along with co-facilitators Sen.
