Dear MoveOn member,
In the chaos of Donald Trump's indictment, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene almost slipped under the radar. Rep. Greene might have mishandled highly sensitive and classified information.1 We can’t allow a rapid news cycle to overshadow Rep. Greene's negligence, especially when national security is at stake.
Hours after Trump's indictment for obstructing justice and hoarding classified documents, Rep. Greene went on Fox News and casually described how she circumvented the confidentiality of a secure congressional review of materials.2 As elected representatives, members of Congress are entrusted with sensitive information and are expected to safeguard both individual and national security. Breaches of this nature should never be taken lightly, let alone so cavalierly discussed on national television.
Rep. Greene has a fundamental duty to uphold the responsibilities of her role. She needs to know that her colleagues are watching—and so are we.
Confidential issues of national security should not be wielded publicly as mere talking points for political gain. Rep. Greene's actions were unethical and irresponsible. They may even be deemed illegal. We need to send a strong message that this kind of behavior won't be tolerated.
Thanks for all you do.
—Sarah from Common Cause

Want to support MoveOn's work? Book bans have skyrocketed thanks to right-wing state laws which have forced teachers to remove books from their classrooms. In response, MoveOn is launching a “Banned Bookmobile,” filling it with books that the far right has banned, and driving it around to hand out those books, for free, in highly trafficked areas that will attract media attention. To keep the Banned Bookmobile up and running into 2024, we need your help.
