defeat Donald Trump!
Dear MoveOn member,
These are unprecedented times, and they require unprecedented action. We
have just a little over 100 days to come together as a united voting bloc
to elect Kamala Harris as our next president and make history. On Sunday,
President Joe Biden announced that after 50 tireless years as a public
servant, including nearly four tremendous years as president of the United
States, he is passing the torch—ending his presidential campaign and
endorsing Harris as the Democratic nominee.
[ [link removed] ]Ahead of next month's Democratic National Convention, it is urgent that
we unite to show the groundswell of support for Harris for president. Will
you sign the petition and commit to voting for Kamala Harris this
election?
Over her 20 impressive years as a strong, progressive leader, Harris has
already shown that she can run and win. She did it when she first ran for
district attorney of San Francisco in 2004—becoming the first woman and
first Black and South Asian American woman to hold that position. She made
history again when she ran to become attorney general of California, again
when she ran for and won a seat in the U.S. Senate, and again when she ran
for and became vice president in 2020.
[ [link removed] ]Now, we can—and must—make history again, this time by breaking that
glass ceiling once and for all and electing her as our country's first
woman president.
As vice president, Kamala Harris has been an essential part of the Biden
administration's successes. Presiding as president of the Senate, Harris
set a record for the most tie-breaking votes cast by a vice
president—making her the critical deciding vote to confirm five federal
judges, pass the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act, and
rein in Big Pharma by capping insulin costs at $35.^1,2 She has been a
strong and consistent advocate for protecting and advancing abortion
rights, launching a "Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour this year and
making history as the first U.S. president or vice president to visit an
abortion clinic. And she has fought time and again for everyday Americans,
advocating for voting rights, clean air and water, and commonsense gun
legislation.
Harris is the champion we need in the White House to expand on the Biden
administration's historic wins. Ahead of the Democratic Convention, let's
build public momentum now by committing to vote—and to do all we can to
elect Kamala Harris as president and elect Democrats up and down the
ballot.
[ [link removed] ]Add your name and pledge to vote for Harris in November! We'll share
the total numbers of pledges to demonstrate to the media and other voters
that Democrats are fired up and ready to go!
Voters will determine the future of this country. Add your name to pledge
your support of Kamala Harris this election!

Biden put this country first when he made the decision to step down from
this election. From passing historic climate and health care policies to
providing economic relief for millions of families, Biden paved the way
for the American people to elect a strong Democratic trifecta in November
that can continue his 50-year legacy fighting for everyday American
families. And he gave his unwavering endorsement of Harris—confident not
only that she would win but that she was the right person to carry that
legacy forward.
[ [link removed] ]Under Harris's leadership, we know we can organize to expand our
rights, protect our communities, and use the power of the federal
government to advance reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy, climate
justice, economic justice, racial justice, and more. Sign the petition and
pledge to vote for Harris!
Harris is Trump's worst nightmare. As a former prosecutor, Harris is a
sharp public speaker and debater who has taken on sexual abusers and
corporate criminals like Donald Trump. She has a track record of putting
people over corporations by taking on fraudsters trying to cheat the
American people—and winning, successfully going after Big Oil, greedy
pharmaceutical companies, and predatory mortgage lenders to deliver wins
for working people.^3,4,5 That's why, only days after Harris confirmed she
is running for president, Trump started complaining and waffling about
participating in the next presidential debate.^6 Trump and MAGA
Republicans are not ready for Harris's presidential campaign.
We also know that the far right is poised and ready to sling its worst
racist and sexist attacks against Harris. In fact, they have already
started.^7 That's why we need a strong, unified front ready to fight back
against baseless attacks against Harris and deliver a landslide win this
November.
[ [link removed] ]Trump is intimidated by Harris. And he should be. She is ready to take
on Trump, MAGA, and Project 2025. But Harris needs to know that we, the
people, have her back. Sign the petition and commit to voting for Harris
for president this November!
This election is about two different futures for our country. One charted
by Trump and MAGA's dangerous Project 2025 platform, slashing our
collective rights and eroding our democracy. And the other where the
government actually works for everyday people, driven by people-first and
compassionate policies, not the wealthy and powerful few.
Harris has the vision and experience to defeat Trump, lead us toward a
more progressive future, and not only preserve our democracy, our rights,
and our freedoms but expand them. But it's up to us, the people, to turn
out and VOTE to make that future a reality.

Harris this election, and then share with three friends to help spread the
word.
Thanks for all you do.
