Dear MoveOn member,
These numbers are stark: Seven in 10 Americans don't know about Project
2025. But, when they learn about it, most people are opposed—even
Republicans who don't identify as MAGA.^1
That's a huge opportunity—no, a mandate—for us to educate voters about
Project 2025. And it's precisely why Donald Trump is now desperate to
distance himself from it.
Last week, videos were released showing Trump embracing Project 2025 from
the start. At a Heritage Foundation dinner in 2022, Trump said: "Our
country is going to hell .... This is a great group and they're going to
lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do
... when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America.
And that's coming."^2
In a second video, Project 2025 director Paul Dans states very clearly
that Trump is "very bought in with this."^3
J.D. Vance, his vice presidential pick, has been more forthright recently,
praising Project 2025 as full of "good ideas."^4
John, we cannot let Project 2025 ever see the light of day. Our
remaining rights and freedoms and democracy depend on it.
Will you chip in $5 a month to help MoveOn educate millions
of voters across the country about Project 2025, starting immediately?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Just reading Project 2025's goals causes voters to reject Project
2025—even the "double haters" who don't like Trump or President Biden
opposed the extremist plan by 78%.^5
These are the incredible numbers of voters in the poll—from Republican
women to Independents to Democrats who didn't plan to vote—who, once they
learned about them, believe that these Project 2025 policies would be
harmful to America.^6
* 83% opposed removing health care protections for people with
preexisting conditions.
* 80% opposed cutting Social Security benefits by raising the retirement
age.
* 85% opposed allowing the government to monitor people's pregnancies to
potentially prosecute them if they miscarry.
* 87% opposed allowing employers to stop paying hourly workers overtime.
It's clear, John: Once voters know what's actually in Project
2025, they hate it—and they understand that Trump and his MAGA cronies are
behind it.^7
MoveOn's superpower is our breadth and huge megaphone. We're currently
running a massive election campaign that has us engaging voters in every
corner of the country: in person, online, on their phones, and with
messengers they trust—from micro-influencers on social media platforms to
MoveOn members in their own community to their very own friends, family,
and colleagues whom we're organizing through our "vote tripling" program.
But this outreach to individual voters is time and resource intensive, and
we can do it only with your urgent and ongoing support. Will you donate
$5 a month to help us educate millions of voters about how
Project 2025 would strip away our remaining rights and freedoms, hurt
middle- and working-class families, and dismantle our democracy?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
We're in this fight for the future of our country together, every day from
now to Election Day.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn? The MAGA right is declaring war, and Project 2025
is their battle plan. Project 2025 threatens our rights, attacks
communities of color, hurts middle- and working-class families, and
undermines our democracy. But we will not back down or let Trump steamroll
our nation.
Will you start a monthly donation to power and sustain MoveOn's election
plan, stop Trump, and ensure Project 2025 is never enacted?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
