[ [link removed] ]RSVP to the rapid-response call following the Supreme Court's ruling
that Donald Trump can remain on the ballot, even after inciting the
January 6 insurrection.

Dear John,

Moments ago, the Supreme Court overturned the Colorado Supreme Court's
ruling that Trump disqualified himself from holding office again when he
engaged in insurrection.^1 The highest court in the land says Donald Trump
can run for president, despite the constitutional prohibition on
insurrectionists holding office again. 

While this ruling flies in the face of a basic reading of the 14th
Amendment, at least now it's clear: Trump is on ballot. And MAGA primary
voters are making this twice-impeached, four-times criminally indicted
insurrectionist their nominee for president.^2

And since Trump is going to be on the ballot in November, we're going to
have to do everything in our power to defeat him at the polls ... again!

[ [link removed] ]Sign up for the rapid-response call on Tuesday, March 5 at 8 p.m. ET (7
CT/6 MT/5 PT). We'll unpack what happened with special guest Elie Mystal,
a leading expert on the MAGA takeover of the U.S. Supreme Court. We'll
also hear about how we can come together to hold Trump accountable,
including joining MoveOn's election program to defeat him in November!

It had been obvious to the majority of Americans for years that Donald
Trump was not fit to be president. But on January 6, as he incited a crowd
to join the white supremacist-led assault on our country occurring at the
Capitol building, the reality sank in of what it meant for someone willing
to do anything to cling to power to become truly desperate.

That person, Donald Trump, must not be given the power of the presidency
again. The Constitution made sure to exclude him and all oath-breaking
insurrectionists from being considered for public office again. But the
Supreme Court ruled that individual states do not have the authority to
disqualify Trump.^3

Since the court has deemed that states cannot ban Trump from the ballot,
we have no choice but to launch into our election program to defeat him at
the polls!

[ [link removed] ]Will you sign up to join our rapid-response call to regroup together
and learn how you can take action? It's taking place on Tuesday, March 5,
at 8 p.m. ET (7 CT/6 MT/5 PT)—RSVP here and we'll send you the link to
join the call tomorrow morning and again an hour before the call.

MoveOn is prepared for this moment. November is months away, but we've
launched our election program earlier than ever before in our 25-year
history to make sure that we can give it our all to defeat Donald Trump
and his election-denying MAGA Republican enablers when they appear on the
ballot. We'll do it with a massive voter contact program to turn out the
anti-MAGA majority that wants accountability.

For over a year, MoveOn members across the country have been urging
secretaries of state and election officials to remove Trump from the
ballot. Just ahead of the oral arguments in this case, our petition to
disqualify him reached over 500,000 signers!^4

It's been made clear that the highest court won't hold him accountable, so
now it's up to us. Voters will have the final say in November, and it's up
to us to defeat him again.

Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? The MAGA movement's book bans have forced
teachers and librarians across the country to remove books from their
shelves and censor what young people can learn. MoveOn is fighting back,
including by filling a "Banned Bookmobile" with books that the far right
has banned and driving it to key cities and towns to raise the visibility
of book bans, hand out banned books for free, and bring people together to
stop censorship. To keep up the fight against book bans and the MAGA
politicians who support them, we need your help.

Will you start a monthly gift to power and sustain MoveOn's critical
work?
