The United States experienced record voter turnout in its presidential election, and millions of those votes have not yet been counted. But in a blatant attack on democracy, lawyers have already been called in to stop the counting and contest the election results.
The situation is shaping up to be an anti-democratic powder keg, threatening violence in the United States - and chaos globally.
From climate action to racial justice, the stakes could not be higher for this election. And whether we like it or not, the results impact the entire world. As responsible global citizens, we have a vital role to play – to ensure all the votes are counted and the results are accepted peacefully.
A peaceful transfer of power hangs in the balance, and the global response over the next hours and days will be critical. If world leaders make it clear they won’t let US Democracy be torn down, they might be able to avert an American crisis with global consequences.
All over the world, people are demanding their leaders take a public stand for democracy. And we need you to join the call.
Sign the petition to tell your world leader that they must take a loud and public stand that they won’t recognize the winner of the US presidential election until all of the votes are counted.
