Texas Progressive Action Network issues the following statement calling for the immediate removal of President Donald Trump from office: 

Austin, TX - “In response to the violent insurrection that took place on January 6, 2021, a terrorist act on this nation’s institutions, its voters and its duly elected leaders, and fully instigated by its own sitting president in a futile effort to disrupt the certification of a national election and maintain a hold on power, Texas Progressive Action Network now calls for the immediate removal of President Donald Trump from office by way of impeachment and/or the invocation of the 25th amendment.  Furthermore, we are calling for a barring from his ever holding public office again. 

”President Trump has demonstrated that he is not fit to serve out the remainder of his time in office and there must be consequence and accountability for the acts carried out against the United States that he invited and encouraged. Removing him from office is a necessary action both to preserve democracy and to protect our national security.

“We also echo the demands for accountability from those elected leaders in Congress who further emboldened these violent acts by engaging in disinformation and conspiracy about the results of the 2020 election while still lacking any evidence to back up such claims.  These members of Congress betrayed their oaths to serve the people and instead placed their own cynical political agenda above all else.  Texas and the rest of the nation deserve better.

“It is out of the commitment to stay true to the mission of Texas Progressive Action Network, one in which nonpartisan voter rights advocacy is a core principle, that we encourage our fellow Texans to respect the will of the people by joining us in urging our leaders to take these necessary steps to protect democracy.”
