Dear MoveOn member,

MoveOn has an ambitious plan to take over the front page of The Washington
Post with hard-hitting ads calling on Clarence Thomas—who has a clear
conflict of interest—to recuse himself from a case that could determine
whether Donald Trump can be criminally prosecuted for his crimes.^1

But taking over the front page of one of the nation's biggest and most
important newspapers isn't cheap: We need to raise $75,000 to take over
the front page of their website, which is viewed millions of times every
day.

Thankfully, MoveOn members have already donated $22,976. But that means we
still have $54,024 to go to meet our goal and blanket The Washington Post
with our demand that Thomas recuse himself.

millions of people see our ad calling on Thomas to recuse himself from the
Trump case?



John, taking over The Washington Post front page is
critical—and timely—because, on April 25, the Supreme Court will hear oral
arguments in one of the most consequential cases in American history.^2

The high court is taking up a case to decide whether Trump—who is facing
dozens of felony charges—is immune from criminal prosecution.^3

Justice Thomas has a clear conflict of interest because his wife, Ginni,
actively participated in the effort to overturn the 2020 election, and it
is specifically Trump's charges related to election interference that are
at the center of this Supreme Court case.^4 If Justice Thomas and the MAGA
Supreme Court declare that Trump is immune from criminal prosecution, it
would effectively insulate Ginni Thomas from scrutiny about her role in
Trump's election interference efforts.^5

We have just a matter of days to make enough noise and put enough pressure
on Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from the case.

But we know we can succeed. Because we've succeeded before.

In October, Thomas stepped aside from a case involving his former clerk,
John Eastman.^6 Eastman had corresponded with Thomas's wife, Ginni, about
the "Stop the Steal" efforts to falsely claim that the 2020 election was
stolen, and he had advocated a fringe legal theory that Vice President
Mike Pence could block the certification of President Biden's Electoral
College win.^7

Now, it's time to turn up the heat again.



[ [link removed] ]Will you donate $9 today to power MoveOn's urgent effort
to take over the front page of The Washington Post and sustain our
campaign to pressure Thomas to recuse himself from Trump's Supreme Court
criminal case?



On average, roughly 60 million individuals visit The Washington Post's
website every month.^8

That's an average of 2,000,000 people per day—and that's how many people
we can ensure see our hard-hitting ads demanding that Thomas recuse
himself.

We can make it happen—but only with your help.

$9 today to make it happen?



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 make a gift to power MoveOn's critical work?



[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in.
