Dear MoveOn member,
The new Trump-led Republican National Committee just made its first major
campaign decision—and it's terrible news for our democracy.
The RNC, under new co-chair Lara Trump, is pouring its money into legal
challenges against voters and voting systems, and they've hired an
election denier to lead the charge.^1
That's right: The RNC is going to prioritize legal attacks on voting
rights in order to win this election for Donald Trump and the rest of his
MAGA contingent. Voter suppression will have multimillion-dollar backing
from the RNC.
And the hard reality is that these efforts have already seen success. The
New York Times found that voter suppression efforts in Georgia, Michigan,
and Nevada targeting low-income, young, and immigrant voters have purged
thousands of people from the rolls.^2
In other words, MoveOn's voter turnout program is more important than
ever. Fortunately, we have a researched, highly effective method of
turning out voters that is as much as five times more effective than
traditional tactics like television ads and robocalls!
Will you start a monthly donation of $5—or whatever you can
afford—to help fight back against the RNC's voter suppression campaign?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
The RNC has put a team in place specifically to stop people from voting.
At the helm is Christina Bobb, a former OAN personality who raised
$600,000 to "audit" Arizona's election and author of the book Stealing
Your Vote: The Inside Story of the 2020 Election and What It Means for
2024.^3 She has never once stopped repeating the lie that the 2020
election was stolen.
Nothing screams "We'll never win this election fairly" more than giving an
election denier a multimillion-dollar budget to stop voters from
exercising their constitutional right.
But this means that there will be a blizzard of legal challenges against
fair elections up and down the ballot, nationwide, from now until
November. MoveOn isn't going to let this obvious attempt to manipulate our
elections stand. We're going to lead a massive voter turnout to overcome
these underhanded suppression tactics.
We have to fight these voter suppression efforts on all fronts. But as a
grassroots organization, our resources come from people like you donating
what you can to make our work a reality.
Please, will you start a $5 monthly donation and stop the
Trump RNC from destroying our democracy?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Make no mistake: These voter purges are an effort to steal the presidency.
We cannot let Trump—a dangerous demagogue who has just vowed that there
will be a "bloodbath for the country" if he's not reelected—back in the
White House.^4
That's why we're investing $32 million into our best-ever get-out-the-vote
program (and with 25 years of successful voter turnout in our history,
that's saying something!).
We've honed in on 1.5 million surge voters in battleground states—those
who became active for the first time, or more active, after the 2016
election but need a bit of a push to get to the polls this year. We need
to focus especially on those who didn't vote recently, or may have moved,
because they are most at risk to be included in a purge.
Once we have these voters engaged, we need to deploy our focused and
extremely effective get-out-the-vote method: "vote tripling." Vote
tripling is organizing voters to reach out to three of their friends or
family, talk to them about the issues at stake, help them make a plan to
vote, make sure they're registered, and make sure they vote. Vote tripling
is five times more effective than other methods, and we need to get as
many people on board as possible.
John, as a MoveOn member, you know that our very democracy is
on the line this year. You know we have to overcome this dangerous voter
suppression effort. And you know that MoveOn was built for this work—for
more than a quarter of a century, we've been the ones pounding the
pavement and doing whatever is necessary to get voters to the polls. We
will succeed in November—if you step up for us right now.
Please, will you help fund our work from now until Election Day by
starting a $5 monthly donation to MoveOn?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]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?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
