Sign the petition to stop No Labels from helping to elect Trump!
Dear MoveOn member,
Giving Trump four more years in the White House would cause lasting damage to our democracy and communities across the country—but a dark-money organization named "No Labels" has a $70 million plan that could give him another term.1 No Labels has used its contributions from deep-pocketed millionaires and billionaires to launch a 50-state campaign for a third-party “unity ticket” for the White House. They have already paid petition teams to gain a ballot line in four states and are targeting anti-Trump voters in both deep-blue and battleground states who were critical to our coalition to defeat him.
The No Labels third-party presidential ticket, a so-called “insurance policy,” can’t win, but it could tip the scales in Trump's favor. Americans know from experience that you can have an impact on the presidential election without winning a single state. Just 537 votes separated George W. Bush and Al Gore in Florida in the 2000 presidential election; the third party Ralph Nader won over 97,000 votes that year. Twenty years later, Donald Trump came within 3 points of winning six key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Even a paltry third-party performance from No Labels could put 79 Democratic electoral votes at risk, determining control of the White House. That’s a risk that we cannot take.
No Labels justifies this dangerous third-party plan by parroting Republican talking points that all Democrats are extremists, willfully ignoring a proven track record of progress on infrastructure, climate, gun safety, marriage equality, and much more. Democrats got bipartisan support for multiple major laws and delivered mainstream victories when Republicans weren’t willing to come together. But No Labels could be handing power to Trump and the MAGA GOP—actual election-denying, January 6-defending, abortion-restricting, democracy-destroying extremists.
We’re joining with individuals across the political spectrum in speaking out about this dangerous No Labels plan. Keeping Donald Trump far from the White House is imperative to protect the progress we’ve made these last two years and defending our democracy.
No Labels must stand down. Join us in calling out this vain and dangerous ploy. #NoLabelsElectsTrump
Thanks!
