Dear MoveOn member,
Alarming: On Friday, in a closed-door meeting, No Labels officially voted to move forward with its dangerous and deceptive presidential campaign that could siphon votes away from President Biden and hand the election to Donald Trump.1
The move comes just weeks after No Labels took the outrageous step of asking the Justice Department to investigate MoveOn for criminal harassment, extortion, and "unlawful conspiracy" under RICO—the law often used to prosecute organized crime(!)—because we have been organizing to expose their plot that would reinstall Trump in the White House.2
MoveOn now needs to be prepared to fight on three fronts: 1) We must be ready for a potential legal fight with No Labels—and our legal costs could add up VERY fast. 2) We must be prepared to take on a deceitful No Labels presidential run in key battleground states. And 3) We must go all-in to defeat Trump and stop his plans to institute a nationwide abortion ban and rip away our other freedoms.
Which is why we need your help. Will you donate $5 a month to help us prepare to fight the baseless allegations against us so we can defend ourselves and still have the funds to continue our work to defeat Trump and stop No Labels' spoiler ticket this November?
Yes, I'll chip in monthly: www.moveon.org/donate/nl-ticket-2024
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Despite the fact that they are backed by shady billionaires—including Harlan Crow, Nazi memorabilia collector and Clarence Thomas's benefactor—No Labels has ZERO chance of winning the presidency.3
In fact, they don't even have a candidate.
But No Labels is charging full steam ahead with a desperate and reckless dark-money campaign.
No Labels has pledged to announce their candidate between March 14 and early April—and political pundits say that Chris Christie is the highest-profile name currently being considered.4
Whether it's Christie or anyone else, we will launch a hard-hitting ad blitz in Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, and Wisconsin within 24-48 hours after No Labels announces its candidate. No Labels is already on the ballot in these crucial battleground states, and MoveOn's ads will immediately begin shaping the narrative about how the ticket's very existence threatens to put Trump back in the White House and destroy our democracy and fundamental freedoms.
Will you donate $5 a month to power our ads now as well as our broader campaign to take on No Labels—and MAGA—from now through Election Day, while also helping us prepare to defend ourselves against baseless accusations?
Yes, I'll chip in monthly: www.moveon.org/donate/nl-ticket-2024
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
No Labels is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
They disguise themselves as a group of "moderates," but their dark-money funders include some of the most destructive right-wing billionaires in America.5
And their plans, when you look at the details, would have the clear impact of siphoning votes away from President Biden and tipping the election to Trump.6
Not only is their effort doomed to fail ... and not only would it throw the election to Trump ... but there are numerous complaints of No Labels misleading voters.
For example, they are accused of misleading voters into changing their party registration in Maine.7 And, in Rhode Island, No Labels' petition papers were referred to the local police department because their organizers may have forged the signatures of dead people.8 Dead people!
John, we cannot afford to pull a cent away from our campaign to defeat Trump and stop his plans to rip away our freedoms. But we also have to do everything we can to stop No Labels and their potential third-party spoiler campaign—while also ensuring that we are not bullied into silence by No Labels' baseless legal accusations.
This is a lot to do, all at once—but with your help, we will prevail.
Will you help MoveOn prepare to counter No Labels' dangerous and destructive spoiler campaign (and a potentially costly legal fight) while also putting pedal to the metal to defeat Trump and MAGA, from now through Election Day, by donating $5 a month?
Yes, I'll chip in monthly: www.moveon.org/donate/nl-ticket-2024
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
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?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
