Resist and Win Call September 23 (Completed 09/24/18) Transcript by Rev.Com Page 1 of 16 Karine J-P: Hello, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Thank you for joining the Resist and Win national organizing call. Happy Sunday to everyone who is dialing in. My name is Karine Jean-Pierre. I am Move On's spokesperson and senior advisor and I'm so happy to be back to host another Sunday night national organizing call with all of you. We've got a spectacular line up tonight. We'll get started in just a few minutes, but before we do that, I'm going to share a couple of quick notes with all of you and so here we go. Karine J-P: First I wanted to say hello to everyone who is joining Resist and Win national organizing call for the first time. Welcome if you're just dialing in to [inaudible 00:00:50] for the first time. Thank you so much for joining us and spending your Sunday with us tonight. Really appreciate your time. I know it's the end of a weekend and folks are getting ready for Monday so appreciate your precious time. And welcome back to all of the folks who have been before. Karine J-P: Over the last 16 months, we've had more than 20 calls. Last week more than 50,000 people joined us between participating on the call or following along on Facebook. You're all amazing. We really truly appreciate you. Together we're building a community of progressives who are working hard to change the course of this country, build power for and in our communities and end GOP control of Congress this November. Karine J-P: I also want to make sure I thank all of our partners for holding this call with us, along with the organizations represented tonight. Big thank yous, very, very big thank you to Daily Kos, Center for Popular Democracy, Ultra Violet and the National Domestic Workers Alliance. Tonight you'll hear from movement leaders on what's at stake in this current political movement and we'll all share the plan for how we will win in November and end GOP control of the House. Karine J-P: So again, welcome to everyone joining us for the first time and for those who have been on that national organizing calls before, welcome, welcome back. Thank you again for joining us again this Sunday. So last week we heard from movement leaders about some important ways to take action. Since that call, thousands of MoveOn members and call participants sent in personal selfie videos to the Real Voter Voices project, signed up to host and attend MoveOn Wave Voter Contact events and delivered messages directly to Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan Chase demanding they stop literally financing the family separation crisis. Thank you for all of you who did that for the families that are being separated and still being locked up in cages. Karine J-P: Over the last few months, we've been hard at work to win big in November. Nationally we've endorsed more than 100 candidates for seats currently held by Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives and more than 100 candidates in states down the ballot. From governor to utility commissioners to city council, we found an unprecedented wave of progressive power bubbling up during the primaries and now we've got to move that energy into powering a blue wave that will end Republican control of Congress and elect people who stand with us Resist_and_Win_Call_September_23 (Completed 09/24/18) Page 1 of 16 Transcript by Rev.com to build strong safe communities where everybody can thrive. Let's see, right now, we are at well over 5,000 people on the call and thousands streaming online. So welcome again to everyone. Karine J-P: And here's why I'm heartened to have so many people on the call tonight. We have a lot of work to do in the next 44 days, folks, just 44 days. We're almost there. And it's going to take all of us to get there, to get to that big win in November. We cannot do it alone and we need all of you who are calling in for the first time and who have called in before, whether you're watching the reckless right wing efforts to push through a Supreme Court nominee and dismiss a survivor or sexual assault, outrage at the ongoing attack on immigrants, or vigilant for Trump attempts to put himself above the law. It's clear the stakes in this moment are so incredibly high. This election is about taking on a big system that's been working for Trump and his big money corporate and billionaire donors. It's about fighting back against attacks on our communities and it's about feeling a progressive large scale movement, so mighty that we sweep Republicans out of Congress with candidates who will fight for single payer health care, immigrant rights, criminal justice reform, living wages, environmental justice, diplomacy and so much more. Karine J-P: I'm sure many of you have watched the back and forth about Senate Judiciary Committee's efforts to dismiss a sexual assault survivor and we'll be hearing more about the fight over the Supreme Court later in the call. But on Friday, news also broke that administration officials had discussed removing Trump from office, putting us on a high alert that Trump might try to end the Mueller investigation once and for all. It's a reminder that even as we grapple with the issues of defining this election, in the next 40 days, we could also be facing an imminent constitutional crisis. Karine J-P: This administration has frequently shown its eagerness to attack one of the core principles of our democracy, a system of checks and balances. A New York Times article published on Friday alleged that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein suggested he could secretly record meetings with Trump and use those recordings to trigger the 25th Amendment, which provides a path for removing a president from office who is unfit to serve. Rosenstein denies the allegation and there are conflicting reports on whether those comments were sincere or sarcastic. But we know, we very much know, that Trump has wanted to fire Rosenstein as a way to end or undermine the Mueller investigation into Russia interference into our election back in 2016. And this latest news could be the excuse that he needs to do just that, which is end the Mueller probe. Rosenstein is Special Counsel Robert Mueller's boss. If Rosenstein gets fired, Trump will likely install a yes man to oversee the investigation, one who would effectively stop or derail Mueller's work. This gives Trump a path to not only fire Mueller but put obstacle after obstacle in front of the investigation and even to hide the investigation's conclusions from the public. Resist_and_Win_Call_September_23 (Completed 09/24/18) Page 2 of 16 Transcript by Rev.com Karine J-P: If you can imagine having a boss that is blocking your work at every turn, actively rooting against you and making sure your job is as hard as possible, that's what the investigation [inaudible 00:07:39] and Trump installs a yes man to oversee the investigation. Karine J-P: This is a potential constitutional crisis, everyone, which is why MoveOn and its partner groups has set up Nobody is Above the Law, a network of 1,000 events and more than 400,000 participants ready to spring into action if Trump fires Mueller or Rosenstein. But this is also a reminder that Trump administration is ruthless in defiance of the law, which brings us to the other issue on our mind this week. Karine J-P: There's a Supreme Court fight. Trump and the Republicans are trying to ignore sexual assault allegations and install a judge who is against our reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, and environmental regulations and who thinks a president is above the law. Family separations. The Trump administration has challenged court orders to treat families and children with respect and he's stacking the justice system with whoever he wants, unchecked power and aggression toward our communities. When we set out to discuss how families rising together to confront the attacks on our communities and help win the midterm elections, we knew how many issues affect us across generations. From family separation to healthcare to gun violence, with the one two punch of the ongoing Kavanaugh news and the Rosenstein revelations, remind us more than ever that Trump and Republicans are fueling as politics of dysfunction and corruption that possess real threats to all of us. This affects everyone, even our young family members have a role in protecting the checks and balances built into our democracy. Karine J-P: So that brings us to our call this evening. And once again, I know some of you are still dialing in, so thank you so much for joining us first timers and people who have returned. Our first speaker is Alyssa Hackerson, a MoveOn Resist and Win leader from Prince William County in Virginia. She's been organizing in her community to elect progressives and is so excited to share her experience with you and share her tips as well. After Alyssa, we'll have Shaunna Thomas, a co- founder of the woman's rights organization, UltraViolet, will give us more insight into the fight to save the Supreme Court and what you can do to stop Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, from shifting the Supreme Court to the right for years to come, effectively cementing the worst of Trump's policies.

  • Dear Virginians, Five Generations Ago, My Ancestors Were Freed from the Shackles of Slavery
    REFORMING OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM Dear Virginians, Five generations ago, my ancestors were freed from the shackles of slavery. Just two generations ago, my grandfather, one of Virginia’s first Black lawyers, was forced by Jim Crow to obtain his law degree in the north. And my father was one of the first to integrate his elementary school in 1960. As I travel throughout the Commonwealth and stand as an elected official in the former capital of the Confederacy, I often wonder how my ancestors would feel, and what they would think, about their descendant who has the opportunity to be Virginia’s first Black Attorney General. I’m running for Attorney General because we’ve made progress in building a more fair and equitable Virginia, but we all know we have not come far enough. The vestiges of slavery and Jim Crow live on in our Commonwealth’s criminal code, in our judicial system, and in our policing. They criminalize Black and Brown communities and make every Virginian less safe. In order to embrace the new Virginia decade, we must build a justice system that works for everybody in our Commonwealth, not just a select few. We have arrived at a true moment of opportunity in our country and in our Commonwealth. We must elect leaders who will rise to that moment and seize the chance to create real change in our justice system, rather than continuing with those who have proven time and time again that they will only do the bare minimum to get by. For his entire career, Mark Herring has shown that he will follow when he has to, but he will not lead.

  • Looking Back to Go Forward: Remaking Detainee Policy*
    Looking Back to Go Forward: Remaking U.S. Detainee Policy* by James M. Durant, III, Lt Col USAF Deputy Head, Department of Law United States Air Force Academy Frank Anechiarico Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law United States Air Force Academy Maynard-Knox Professor of Government and Law Hamilton College [WEB VERSION] April, 2009 © James Durant, III, Frank Anechiarico * This article does not reflect the views of the Air Force, the United States Department of Defense, or the United States Government. “By mid-1966 the U.S. government had begun to fear for the welfare of American pilots and other prisoners held in Hanoi. Captured in the midst of an undeclared war, these men were labeled war criminals. .Anxious to make certain that they were covered by the Geneva Conventions and not tortured into making ‘confessions’ or brought to trial and executed, U.S. Ambassador-at-Large Averell Harriman asked [ New Yorker correspondent Robert] Shaplen to contact the North Vietnamese.” - Thomas Bass (2009) ++ Introduction This article, first explains why and how detainee policy as applied to those labeled enemy combatants, collapsed and failed by 2008. Second, we argue that the most direct and effective way for the Obama Administration to reassert the rule of law and protect national security in the treatment of detainees is to direct review and prosecution of detainee cases to U.S. Attorneys and adjudication of charges against them to the federal courts. The immediate relevance of this topic is raised by the decision of the Obama Administration to use the federal courts to try Ali Saleh Kahah al-Marri in a (civilian) criminal court.
