Steyer to hold DC summit to pressure lawmakers to impeach Trump
By Brett Samuels - 01/22/19 12:05 PM EST
Democratic megadonor Tom Steyer's "Need to Impeach" campaign announced Tuesday plans for a two-day summit next week in Washington, D.C., to urge lawmakers to commence impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
The "Need to Impeach Summit and Advocacy Day" will consist of a town hall gathering about the state of the union and a strategy session on how to build a grassroots following, the organization said in a news release.
The event will conclude with participants hand-delivering articles of impeachment to their representatives in an effort to increase pressure on lawmakers to remove Trump from office.
"Leaders across party lines are finally understanding the danger his recklessness and lawlessness pose for our democracy, and now they must hold him accountable," Steyer said in a statement on Tuesday. "Failing to act is unacceptable."
The event is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday.
