[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition to urge Beyoncé and Taylor Swift: Endorse Kamala
Harris for president!

Dear MoveOn member, 

Following Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign
announcement and the announcement of her running mate, Governor Tim Walz,
there has been a groundswell of political and grassroots support. But the
reality is that we have less than 90 days to build the diverse voting bloc
we need to defeat Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans at the polls. We need
every eligible voter to turn out to vote for our democracy and freedom
this election. And to do that, we need major celebrities like Beyoncé and
Taylor Swift to use their massive platforms, influence, and following to
make a difference this year. 

[ [link removed] ]Will you add your name to the petition to call on celebrities,
including Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, to endorse Harris and turn out voters
this November?

Beyoncé and Swift are two of the most influential entertainers in the
world, with a collective 595 MILLION followers on Instagram alone. Their
voices hold immense weight and power.

And we're not asking them to do something they have never done before.
Both Beyoncé and Taylor endorsed and supported Biden and Harris in 2020,
with Swift endorsing at the beginning of October and Beyoncé endorsing the
night before the election.^1,2 They both knew what was at stake then, and
there is so much still at stake now: our bodily autonomy, our freedoms,
our education, and our democracy.

[ [link removed] ]John, we are less than 90 days away from the election, and
there is no time to waste. There is no better time for Beyoncé and Taylor
Swift to endorse Kamala Harris than right now. Will you sign the petition?

Beyoncé and Taylor Swift: Endorse Kamala Harris and use your platforms to
turn out a record number of voters this election! 

[4]Sign the petition

This election, 41 million Gen Zers will be eligible to vote, including 8
million new voters.^3 Not only that, but 3.5 million adults of voting age
have been naturalized in the U.S. since the last presidential election.^4
That's a significant number of people who can be mobilized to vote in this
election.

It doesn't stop with Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. By coming out in support of
Harris, they can inspire other touring musicians this summer and
fall—including Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Charli
XCX, Kacey Musgraves, Billie Eilish, and Cyndi Lauper—to use their stage
to encourage millions of fans to protect our democracy and vote for
Harris. 

This election is about two futures—one where Harris takes us forward and
one where Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans take us backward. The stakes
could not be higher. We need to energize voters to promote reproductive
and bodily autonomy, advance workers' rights and protections, tackle
student loan debt, protect public schools, pass commonsense gun
regulations, and make our democracy work for all of us. And in order to do
that, we need everyone to do their part. 

[ [link removed] ]We can't afford to have major celebrities like Beyoncé and Swift on the
sidelines—we need them to join the fight to protect our future. We need
them to endorse Harris for president.

During Harris's rally in Atlanta, Georgia, rappers Quavo and Megan Thee
Stallion, who collectively have more than 104 million followers, showed up
to support and perform. They not only helped energize the more than 10,000
attendees but sparked widespread media coverage that helped shaped the
narrative of Harris's campaign impact.^5 We need other performers to
follow suit and carry that energy through to November. 

In the last presidential election, voters turned out in record numbers,
with nearly 66% of the population casting a ballot.^6 We accomplished that
in part with relational organizing. So whether it's talking to your
friends and neighbors or audiences and fans, we need each and every one of
us to use the platforms we have so we can break records again and make
history this fall.

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.
