This will be the trial of the century. Millions of voters will be tuning in. And it gives us a golden opportunity to get the truth out about Trump's crimes and educate voters about the GOP's complicity in his attempt to destroy our democracy.
Dear MoveOn member,
In a critical update, we now know that Donald Trump's criminal trial in Georgia will be aired live on national TV.1
Trump faces 13 felony charges in Georgia related to his criminal conspiracy to unlawfully overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, including charges under Georgia's RICO statute, most often used to prosecute mob activity and other organized crime.2
This will be the trial of the century.
Millions of voters will be tuning in. And it gives us a golden opportunity to get the truth out about Trump's crimes and educate voters about the GOP's complicity in his attempt to destroy our democracy.
While District Attorney Fani Willis will make the case against Trump and his criminal co-conspirators, we can help counter the rampant MAGA disinformation about Trump's crimes and also make the case against the Republican leaders in Congress and on the campaign trail who have supported his criminal behavior and shielded him from accountability.
But we need your help.
If we can raise enough money, MoveOn will air hard-hitting TV ads during the Trump trial, right as millions of voters in swing states are tuning in.
Will you start a $5 monthly donation to help us produce and air ads during the Trump trial and to power our long-term work to stop Trump and the GOP from winning in 2024?
Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Trump's trial in Georgia is unique because state courts typically allow livestreaming of their proceedings, unlike the federal courts where Trump faces dozens of other criminal charges.
That's why experts predict this will be the most-watched trial in U.S. history.
One expert on the First Amendment noted, "There will literally be far more eyes on this trial" than on any before.3
With millions of key voters sure to be glued to their screens during the trial, it is critical that we combat MAGA's baseless lies that the criminal prosecutions are witch hunts and educate the electorate about Trump's crimes. It's also critical we show voters the role that other leading Republicans have played in enabling Trump's crimes and corruption.
But we cannot do this work without you. Unlike the MAGA movement, MoveOn is funded by small-dollar grassroots donations, from MoveOn members like you.
Our average donation is $27—and when tens of thousands of MoveOn members from across the country come together to chip in, we can fund huge projects, including airing ads across the country during Trump's trial.
Will you start a $5 monthly gift to help air TV ads during Trump's criminal trial and to power and sustain our critical work to defeat MAGA from now until the 2024 elections?
Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

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.
