MILWAUKEE, WI — With the House expected to vote on impeachment Wednesday, MoveOn.org is calling for pro-impeachment rallies and events across the country, and several "Nobody Is Above The Law" rallies are slated for Tuesday across Wisconsin.

Last week, two articles of impeachment against President Donald J. Trump were approved by a House panel. The articles accuse the president of abuse of power linked to the Ukraine scandal and obstruction of Congress, alleging that Trump "has directed the unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas issued by the House of Representatives pursuant to its 'sole Power of Impeachment.'"

According to Impeach.org, these events are slated for Tuesday across Wisconsin. For more details about each event, visit Move On's website here.
