Rally in Anniston, AL Marks Two Years Since Jan. 6 Attack to Protect “Our Freedoms, Our Vote” - only event in AL or GA
Events Nationwide Demand Accountability and Broad Democracy Reforms
WHAT: Weeks after voters widely repudiated the most prominent election deniers at the polls driven by deep concern over the state of democracy, people across the U.S. will rally in observance of the two-year mark since the attack on the U.S. Capitol to prevent a peaceful transfer of power.
A rally in Anniston will be part of events nationwide to push for accountability to prevent future power grabs by former U.S. President Donald Trump and his allies, and to tell elected leaders to act on a mandate for democracy reforms to protect our freedom to vote.
The event comes as Trump and extreme Republican politicians continue to spread false claims about the 2020 election results, undermine our Constitution; prepare to launch a sham investigation into the January 6 Committee, and seek to retain power by suppressing voting, gerrymandering, and creating state-level ways to overthrow the results of valid elections.
