Protect Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde and Hold Extremism Accountable

Amnesty International
In the wake of former President Donald Trump’s decision to issue pardons for over 1,500 individuals involved in the siege on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, the safety of public figures who stand for truth and justice is under severe threat. One of those at risk is Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, Episcopal Bishop of Washington, who has consistently spoken out for equity, accountability, and democracy.
This act of mass pardoning undermines justice, emboldens dangerous ideologies, and puts courageous leaders like Rev. Budde in jeopardy. The insurrectionists displayed willingness to use violence to achieve their aims, and their newfound impunity poses risks not just to her but to others who work tirelessly to uphold democracy and human rights.
We call on:
Call to Action:Sign this petition to demand protection for Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde and to ensure that justice prevails in the face of extremist threats.
