Nearly 100 people gathered at Pulaski Park Northampton Saturday to throw their support behind impeaching President Donald Trump as soon as possible.

In coordination with a National Day of Action, sponsored by political action organizations Move On, By the People and Indivisible Northampton, demonstrators cheered calls from activists and elected federal and state officials to push the impeachment process forward.

“Trump has left us in a crisis,” Indivisible Northampton organizer Debby Pastrich-Klemer said. “It is time to move.”

And apparently more and more Americans agree. Since Special prosecutor Robert Mueller released his report of an investigation into the interference in the 2016 election by Russian operatives, and actions taken by President Donald Trump to undermine that investigation, polls show more and more Americans agree with impeachment.

But, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been reticent to start the process. Second Massachusetts Congressman James McGovern said while Pelosi is not calling for immediate impeachment, she is taking steps that could end there eventually.

“She is empowering other oversight committees who have the responsibility to build a case and request more information from the administration. I think that is an acceptable thing to do,” he said.

McGovern himself has filed a resolution to start a formal impeachment inquiry, the first step in the process.

“I have already filed and passed a resolution to allow committee chains to go to court to sue to force the administration to comply with subpoenas for information. The administration has to come forward with information,” he said.

“Look, some want to wait longer, some want more information, more evidence. For me, I am at that point I feel it is appropriate to call for a formal impeachment inquiry,” McGovern said. “If we turn a blind eye to him Ignoring Congress we are setting a terrible precedent.”

State Senator Jo Comerford agreed with McGovern. She has filed a resolution calling on the state’s federal delegation to support impeachment. Comerford said representatives in state government have a responsibility to make their constituents’ concern known.

“I see this as an enormous push from the grass roots,” she said. “Ther5e are at least seven points that would merit beginning impeachment. If my constituents push me, I have to push up from my state position.”
