Stop Trump from Weaponizing the DOJ to Suppress ActBlue
Since 2004, ActBlue has supported Democratic campaigns and progressive causes in raising nearly 17 billion dollars, making them an indispensable piece of progressive infrastructure. The platform enables non-profits, political campaigns, and grassroots organizations to process and accept donations by providing a simple way for people to contribute to the causes they care about. This means people like you – 5 Calls has used ActBlue’s services since 2017.
Republicans have long envied ActBlue’s success, launching a similar system in 2019 in an attempt to close the gap in small dollar fundraising. However, since launching, the GOP system has been riddled with issues and accused of scammy tactics, receiving over 800 FTC complaints to ActBlue’s 120 in the same time period.
Trump is now weaponizing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to suppress progressive fundraising efforts by demanding the DOJ open an investigation into ActBlue’s operations. Not only is this an attack on the DOJ’s independence, it is a brazen attempt to kneecap his political rivals. Trump’s baseless claims against ActBlue are based on unreliable sources such as Elon Musk, who has continually criticized the company. This assault on ActBlue is a direct attempt to silence Trump’s ideological opposition.
Tell your representatives to speak out against Trump’s weaponization of the DOJ and demand he ends his unfounded attack on his ideological rivals.
