Pledge to Safeguard the Election
Abide by the results of the 2026 midterms and all future elections in accordance with modern American electoral procedures and constitutional principles; and also allow for a peaceful transfer of power in presidential elections - or be held severely accountable politically and by any and all legal means possible.
Why is this important?
The 2026 midterms are the first major election the United States will hold with Donald Trump in power since the January 6, 2021 insurrection, and we must both anticipate and thwart disruptions designed to alter the results before, during, and after Election Day.
President Trump has abused presidential power in this and other elections by operating outside the boundaries of our established electoral processes. He has refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of presidential power; has illegitimately interfered in state level electoral functions and Electoral College procedures; incited an attack on the United States Capitol; and there have even been calls for election "reruns" under martial law. These abuses of power must be repulsed by a politically active citizenry to prevent a recurrence of the activities that culminated in the events of January 6, 2021.
We call on all citizens to abide by the Constitution of the United States and contemporary electoral processes and judicial decisions in determining the outcome of any and all elections.
We expect that all votes will be counted in the manner proscribed by each individual state, and that in presidential elections electors will follow the popular vote and/or the customary electoral procedures of their particular states.

We affirm that local and state electoral officials, systems and courts are the legal authorities regarding any election, even for ones challenged for improprieties; including that for President of the United States; and that the Supreme Court is the final authority regarding any case appealed from lower courts.
We furthermore affirm the judicial system and ultimately the Supreme Court as the ultimate arbiter between the President and Congress or any other entity (whether this be a state, local, military or a civil institution) regarding adjudication of the legitimacy of any declared "state of emergency" or martial law related to the electoral process.
We expect political candidates, office holders and electoral, military and law enforcement officials to renounce violence in any form as a political tactic; to accept the results of their candidacies and those of others as determined by established electoral and judicial processes; and to unequivocally facilitate a peaceful transfer of power to whomever is the democratically declared winner of a presidential election. We will hold those who deviate from these expectations severely accountable in both this and subsequent elections by ending their political careers and through any and all other legal means possible.
