Dear MoveOn member,
Today, we are formally launching our 2020 election program: America for
All. And in 270 days, together, we will defeat Donald Trump and his
Republican accomplices, while electing progressive leadership that will
take our country forward.

Since Donald Trump took office, his administration has relentlessly
attacked and threatened communities across our country and beyond our
borders, while trampling on the very foundations of our democracy. All the
while, the Republican Party has stood by his side.
Trump has locked children in cages, tried to tear away our health care,
condoned the rise in gun violence, rolled back our commitments to fighting
climate change, and given away billions to the rich and giant corporations
through his tax cuts while attacking student debt relief and food
assistance for middle-class and poor people. And he's done it while
emboldening white supremacists in the streets and in the White House and
advancing a white nationalist agenda.
But the last three years have also seen an awakening in this country of
millions of people who believe a better world is possible and have shown
they are willing to stand up for it. We've been part of mass
people-powered demonstrations: the night after the election in 2016; at
the Women's March; at airports to protest the Muslim Ban; in the streets
against family separation, gun violence, and more. We made hundreds of
thousands of phone calls to Congress, showed up at town hall meetings, and
organized and campaigned our hearts out successfully to prevent the repeal
of the Affordable Care Act. We defended the Mueller investigation so the
truth about Trump's abuses would come out, and then secured his
impeachment.
And in 2018, we fueled a massive "blue wave," ending single-party rule in
Washington and electing bold progressives up and down the ballot.
Now, it's time for us to take that energy, dedication, commitment, and
solidarity that so many MoveOn members have shown over the past few years
and translate it to the ballot box. There's no question that Trump will be
successful in turning out his base this year, in what is likely to be the
highest-turnout election in American history on both sides of the aisle.
But there are more people in this country who see things our way than
support Trump, and if all of us work together and show up to vote, we will
win, not just sending Trump packing with a resounding defeat, but winning
the Senate and House with a mandate for progressive governing.
November 3 is 270 days away. And what we do over those next 270 days is
critical. This is why MoveOn is investing in a massive and game-changing
election program. Here's what we'll do:
* Mobilize millions of MoveOn members to volunteer in this election,
contribute to candidates, and fuel the blue wave.
* Inspire "high-potential voters" to vote, some for the first time.
These are voters who may not have voted in 2016, including young
voters, first-time voters, people of color, the middle class and the
poor, and new Americans.
* Protect the right to vote from social media and digital disinformation
schemes that seek to undermine it.
It's a $20 million plan to go big all over the country, especially in 10
key battleground states—Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Michigan,
Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—that
are critical to winning the White House, flipping the Senate, and
defending the critical House majority.
Trump and the GOP will have big money, the politics of hatred and
division, and the power of incumbency. We also expect that Trump, knowing
the Republican Senate will give him carte blanche to violate the law, will
lie and cheat and seek to rig the election to the best of his ability.
But we have the people power—the power of culture and story and
togetherness. And when we combine it with the best digital and mobile
innovations and add high-impact applied analytics, all based in strong
organizing, we can win this November. That's what we showed in 2018 and
what we''ve been showing time and again during these past three years.
That same energy that mobilized us to win on health care, take the House
in a landslide with the largest midterm turnout in a century, and reach
this historic moment on impeachment is what we need fueling the movement
over the next 270 days to vote Trump and his GOP accomplices out.
