What an extremely amazing month it has been!

Dear MoveOn member,

What an extremely amazing month it has been! Everything changed after Kamala Harris announced that she's running for president of the United States. People are tuning in to this election in a way they never have before.

Four weeks ago, the MoveOn team was having trouble recruiting folks to host postcard writing parties for our target voter audiences. But last week, we had to put a limit on how many parties could be hosted, because our printing partner couldn't keep up with demand!

Over the past two weeks, MoveOn more than doubled our phone bank goal, and the demand for stickers, T-shirts, and yard signs is through the roof. 401,077 free stickers alone have been ordered!

The MoveOn team is thrilled and on fire! But, frankly, we do NOT have the funds to cover this increase in demand.

We have just under 80 days until Election Day—and we don't want to wake up on November 6 feeling like we could have done just a little bit more.

If you're excited about the Harris-Walz ticket, dedicated to protecting our freedoms—and don't want to have regrets after Election Day—please donate right now.

With your support, we're:

• Empowering MoveOn members to reach out, one-on-one, to 1.5 million voters through postcards, texting, and door-to-door conversations about the issues that matter most.
• Collecting hundreds of testimonial videos from MoveOn members speaking authentically about the stakes of the 2024 election, why they're voting, and the candidates they're supporting. Then, we'll run ads that show the most effective of these testimonial videos to the voters who lean Democratic but vote inconsistently; these are the voters we need to turn out to win in November.
• Flooding digital airwaves and social media with stories from MoveOn members, micro-influencers, and MoveOn. We're cutting through the noise with factual warnings about Project 2025 and other terrifying plans that Donald Trump has for his second term and the tremendous promise of a Harris presidency. About one-third of people under 30 regularly get their news from TikTok, and in an increasingly fragmented media market, reaching voters where they are is critical.¹

Look, we all know what's at stake in this election. It's not just about Democrats winning; it's about us protecting our country's democracy from Trump, his MAGA cronies, and authoritarianism and hate. We've seen firsthand how they divide us, undermine our institutions, embolden white supremacists, and attack democracy and our rights and freedoms.

Trump is planning to create a false narrative of victory, even if he loses.² He's openly stated his intention to reject the results if they don't go his way.³ One of his top supporters, Elon Musk, who owns X (formerly Twitter), is posting political deepfakes that get hundreds of millions of views.⁴ All of this is a direct threat to our nation's democracy.

We need to fight like hell to get every single voter to the polls who believes in a better future—a future with affordable health care, quality education, and economic justice for all.

The good news is that, right now, we have incredible momentum! People are fired up; they're organizing; they're ready to fight for change. But MoveOn needs the resources to reach people, get them the information they need, and turn enthusiasm into action.

And we need you.

Can you chip in right now to fuel MoveOn's critical voter mobilization efforts? Every dollar will go directly toward reaching 1.5 million voters, combating Trump's lies and disinformation, and building the movement needed to secure a decisive victory for Harris and a future where everyone can thrive.

MoveOn has a proven track record of mobilizing grassroots power and turning out voters. We know how to reach people where they are, whether it's through door-to-door canvassing, phone-banking, or digital organizing. We have a plan to reach Democratic-leaning, inconsistent voters in battleground states and districts with targeted messages about what is possible with Vice President Harris as president, but we need your help to make it happen.

Your donation today will help us print thousands more yard signs and stickers, run ads and send out crucial text messages that reach these "surge" voters who need an extra push to make it to the polls, and train hundreds more volunteers to reach voters in key battleground states. Every contribution—no matter the amount—makes a difference.

The 2020 election was decided by tens of thousands of votes in just a handful of swing states. All signs point to this election being just as close. MoveOn is doing work that has the potential to move tens or even hundreds of thousands of votes that could be the deciding factor in this election.

We need to expose Trump's dangerous agenda and make sure that every voter knows what's at stake. Recent polling from key battleground states shows a tight race, with Harris holding a slight lead in some areas but facing an uphill battle against Trump's relentless attacks and disinformation campaign.⁵

John, we must not let the opportunity of this powerful moment slip away. Let's show what happens when MoveOn members come together to fight for progress.

Please donate today and join the movement!

Thank you for joining with us in this critical—and very exciting—moment!

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 donate to power MoveOn's election plan, stop Trump, and ensure Project 2025 is never enacted? 

Yes, I'll chip in.
