On this one year anniversary of the attempted coup in the US, it’s worth mentioning I wrote a piece on the role nonprofits can take in advocating for an appropriate response by Congress and even the DOJ. A snippet:

The endgame of presidential elections used to be pretty straightforward. Congress plays a more-ceremonial-than-substantive role counting each state’s certified electoral college delegates. The candidate who won more than 270 electoral votes officially wins and the new President gets sworn in on January 20th. But was, of course, very different. The false rhetoric claiming the historically well-run election was “stolen,” led to the failed, but nonetheless deadly, January 6th insurrection. Now, Congress is seeking out why this happened and who was behind the effort. Nonprofits have a role to play in the investigation and the response to the revelations.
