JWI supports bipartisan impeachment of President Trump
In response to today’s impeachment vote in the U.S. House of Representatives, Jewish Women International (JWI) issued the following statement:
JWI proudly supports the bipartisan impeachment of President Donald Trump. Trump must be held accountable for stoking his supporters’ rage and encouraging their violent and deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Standing against his treasonous actions requires leadership – which we expect from those we’ve elected to lead.
As President of the United States, Trump is a danger to our democratic institutions, our elected lawmakers, and democracy itself. He must be removed from office and barred from ever holding public office again. JWI calls on the Senate to act immediately and convict the President.
