Dear MoveOn member,
Are you fired up by the Democratic National Convention?
Did you watch President Joe Biden's inspiring speech passing the torch to
Vice President Kamala Harris?
What about Secretary Hillary Clinton's speech imploring the nation to
finally crack the "highest, hardest glass ceiling?"
Or Michelle Obama's enthralling speech—including her call for all of us to
"do something," and her reminder that Trump is "doubling down on ugly,
misogynistic, racist lies as a substitute for real ideas and solutions
that will actually make people's lives better."
Who can forget President Barack Obama skewering Trump as "a 78-year-old
billionaire who hasn't stopped whining about his problems since he rode
down his golden escalator nine years ago?"
And how about Governor Tim Walz's heartfelt and beautiful speech last
night?
John, we have the momentum, and we should be more hopeful than
ever. But we must be clear-eyed about our odds: We are still the underdog.
The Electoral College is biased toward Republicans, the country is
divided, the polls are within the margin of error, and Big Money is
supporting Trump's rising tide of authoritarian fascism.
That's why MoveOn is running the most innovative and ambitious
presidential get-out-the-vote campaign in our 25-year history. Will you
make a donation today to power MoveOn's nationwide campaign to get out the
vote, elect Kamala Harris, and defeat Trump and the MAGA movement?

Besides the Electoral College being rigged in favor of Republicans and
billionaire fat cats backing the Trump campaign, there's another important
reason Harris is still the underdog: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
In a new interview, Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy Jr.'s running mate, said that
Kennedy Jr. is considering dropping out of the race—because his campaign
would "risk" helping Harris win.^1
Kennedy Jr. is even considering endorsing Trump so they can "join forces"
to defeat Harris. That means potentially millions of Kennedy Jr.
supporters switching their support to Trump and handing him victory.^2
Just hours after that interview, Trump said that he "probably would"
consider giving Kennedy Jr. a position in his administration if Kennedy
Jr. endorsed him.^3
For months, MoveOn has said that Kennedy Jr. is nothing more than a
spoiler designed to help Trump. Now, his campaign is finally admitting it.
Our plan to elect Vice President Harris and Democrats up and down the
ballot is strategic and ambitious and entirely achievable with your help.
We are going to reach out to and turn out 1.5 million surge voters—voters
who don't consistently show up to the polls but vote Democratic when they
do—in the critical battleground states and districts that will decide this
election.
MoveOn members are reaching these voters, who might be on the fence about
voting this year, face-to-face in their homes, via text, on social media,
through phone calls, by sending them postcards, ensuring they see our ads,
and more.
But as a grassroots organization that is powered primarily by small-dollar
donations from people like you, we need your help to make it happen.
Donate today. Every dollar helps.

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