Dear MoveOn member,
Donald Trump just threatened President Joe Biden's life on Friday, and threatening the president of the United States is a crime.1
"He's threatening the president's life. That's a felony. If anyone else did it, the feds would arrest him," said Harvard legal scholar Laurence Tribe.2
Trump posted a video on Truth Social last week of President Biden bound and gagged with what appears to be a bullet hole in his head.3
Former federal prosecutor and New York University law professor Andrew Weissmann explained on MSNBC on Sunday that Trump may have violated his bail terms: "A standard condition of being out on bail applies in New York and in the D.C. federal case and in the Georgia state case: that you not commit a crime while you are out on bail."4
John, Trump is a dangerous man and must never step foot in the White House. But we cannot hold our breath and assume the legal system will hold him accountable. Instead, we need to go all-in to engage, motivate, and turn out voters to defeat Trump in November.
That's why MoveOn is running a $32 million election plan to defeat Trump and the MAGA movement. And as former Labor Secretary Robert Reich said, "No organization in America has a better track record of success in developing cutting-edge strategies to get out the vote and win elections than MoveOn."
We did it in 2020, and we can do it again, but, as a grassroots organization, our resources come from you, our members, and we can sustain this work only with your support, John.
Will you donate $5 a month to help power MoveOn's election plan from today through Election Day?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Trust in the media is at a record low.5 But voters do trust their friends and family to tell them about elections—twice as much as news sources or social media.6 Those relationships are where MoveOn's proven vote tripling tactic shines.
MoveOn has built the infrastructure to help people easily reach their friends and family and turn them out to the polls, which we call "vote tripling." We piloted this tactic to turn out 50,000 voters in battleground states in 2022—election-swinging numbers! In fact, vote tripling has proven to be as much as five times more effective than traditional tactics like television ads.
This year, we've already begun reaching out to 1.4 million "surge voters" who were activated by Trump's election in 2016 but have faded away in the years since. After our education program ends, we plan to scale vote tripling up and turn out the margins necessary to stop Trump in November.
However, we can't do this critical work without your help. The work is expensive, and you are absolutely essential to our being able to see our plans through.
Will you donate $5 a month to help defeat Trump and finally hold him accountable for his crimes?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.
