Ever since I began my fast for impeachment February 12th, each morning, from 8 to 9 AM I have stood in front of the building that houses the office of Representative John Conyers, chair of the House Judiciary Committee who is considering articles of impeachment.

I am not asking you to fast, but please join me in maintaining a presence at the courthouse before you go to work each day.

This is a critical time in our nation's history. It is important that we raise our voices at this time any way that we can.
