Dear MoveOn member,

We have a big announcement to make: For months, MoveOn has been putting in
place the infrastructure and plans to work on the ground in three critical
states—Arizona, Florida, and Nevada—to legalize abortion by helping to
pass ballot initiatives this November, and we're thrilled to announce that
we're launching that lifesaving work today.

And it couldn't be more urgent. In the many red states with abortion bans,
children who are the victims of incest are being denied abortions, cancer
patients are being denied abortions, people with fatal fetal abnormalities
are being denied abortions and treated like "walking coffins."^1 This is
happening day after day in red state after red state. The cruelty and
suffering are far-reaching, with so many millions of us having lost our
autonomy and self-determination.

But abortion bans are unpopular—in red, blue, and purple states.
Everywhere. That's why, if we do the hard work of educating voters,
convincing them that their vote matters, and helping get them to the
polls, we can fight back and pass ballot initiatives that secure the right
to abortion in red state constitutions—where Republican lawmakers cannot
touch it.

MoveOn has been working hard to launch campaigns in three critical
states—Arizona, Florida, and Nevada—where initiatives will be on the
ballot this fall to legalize abortion. We'll be collaborating with
organizations on the ground in each state, bringing our millions of
members, data-driven campaigning, and 25 years of experience turning out
voters to the polls.



As a grassroots organization, our resources to make this work possible
come from you, our members. Will you help us launch and sustain our plans
through Election Day to secure the legal right to abortion in Arizona,
Florida, and Nevada by donating $5 a month?

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

[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.



In Florida, Amendment 4 would overturn Ron DeSantis's six-week abortion
ban and establish a constitutional right to abortion.

While support for Amendment 4 is strong, 60% of voters need to approve it
for it to pass.

Six polls completed since April show it averaging 56% support.^2 We can
help close that gap and get voters to the polls, with your support.



John, will you donate $5 a month to MoveOn to
help pass—from today through Election Day—ballot initiatives in Arizona,
Florida, and Nevada to secure the right to abortion in the states'
constitutions?

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

[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.



We also need your help to counter the dirty tricks that Republicans are
using in every state where abortion has been on the ballot.^3

In Kansas last year, anti-abortion groups sent out deceptive text messages
urging voters to "Vote YES to protect women's health," even though a "no"
vote was to protect abortion rights.^4

Now Republicans in Arizona are going even further. A leaked Republican
strategy document revealed the party's plans to introduce a fake
alternative ballot initiative cloaked in pro-choice language to try to
siphon votes away from the actual abortion-rights ballot initiative,
naming it the "Arizona Abortion Protection Act" or the "Arizona Abortion
and Reproductive Care Act."^5

Repugnant.

But together we can fight back and secure abortion rights in Arizona,
Florida, and Nevada. If we educate voters, help convince them that their
vote matters, and get them to the polls, we can win. But we need your help
to do it, John.



Will you chip in $5 a month to power and sustain this
lifesaving work from now through Election Day?

[ [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.
