Dear MoveOn member,

Hello, people of Earth! And hello, people of the MoveOn email list!

Our names are Paul, June, and Jason, and we won't lie, you've probably
seen us on some of your favorite television shows or movies—but we'll get
to that later.

We were watching the Democratic National Convention this week and heard
President Barack Obama say something interesting: "We do not need four
more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie
before, and we all know that the sequel is usually worse."

We happen to know a little something about that. Well, the movie part, at
least.

For the past 14 years, we've been hosting a podcast—ahem, a very
successful podcast—called "How Did This Get Made?" where we watch
delightfully terrible movies and then joke with each other as we figure
out how the hell they ever made it into a theater. (edit: This is June,
and I'd like to go on record saying that some of us are forced to watch
them.)

No matter what June says, we have a blast doing it, and we think our fans
have a blast listening to it too. We hope so at least, since our podcast
gets 40 million downloads a year! We've also won awards. So many awards.
Just trust us.

But while the three of us are all actors, writers, and comedians by trade,
we're also Americans who can see just how important this election is and
how historic an opportunity we have to not just defeat Donald Trump but
elect Kamala Harris with her new, joyful vision for our nation.

We wanted to do something to help, and we figured there was no better way
than to harness our fanbase and host a live virtual podcast taping for
"How Did This Get Made?" where all profits from ticket sales go straight
to supporting MoveOn's 2024 election plan to turn out 1.5 million voters
in key battleground states and districts.

We decided to take a page out of Barack Obama's playbook and use our show
to talk about one of the most infamous sequels of all time: "Troll 2." Our
fans have been asking us to do it for years—and to help MoveOn, we finally
decided to give in. We even convinced our friend Adam Scott to join us on
the livestream on Friday, September 6.

[ [link removed] ]It's going to be fun, it's going to be chaotic, it might even be
bumbling—but it is also going to raise a ton of money to support MoveOn
and help win this election. Want to join the fun? Just click here and
donate any amount to secure your spot. You'll get a follow-up email before
the event with all the details!

OK, our friends at MoveOn have told us that we should probably tell you
who we are, just in case you didn't immediately recognize our names (and
how DARE you if you didn't).

I'm Paul Scheer. You may have seen me on "The League," "Veep," "Black
Monday," the new movie "Twisters," or maybe you've even read my New York
Times bestselling book, "Joyful Recollections of Trauma."

June Diane Raphael here. You may have seen me on "Grace and Frankie," "New
Girl," "Parks & Recreation," or on my other podcast, "The Deep Dive." Or
you could have read my guidebook to help women run for office, "Represent:
The Women's Guide to Running for Office and Changing the World."

And I'm Jason Mantzoukas. You have probably seen me play an unhinged
lunatic on shows like "The League," "Parks & Recreation," "The Good
Place," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," and the Disney+ series "Percy Jackson and
the Olympians." Or, perhaps you're one of the MANY fans who have screamed
"GEOSTORM" out of nowhere at me on the street because of that one episode
of the podcast. Please stop doing that.

And you all know Adam Scott from "Parks & Recreation," "Big Little Lies,"
"Severance," and whatever else he gets up to. He can tell you himself.

We're excited to get together to talk about this fantastically horrible
film while also raising a ton of money to support the great work that
MoveOn will be doing over the next 72 days.

It's going to be a blast, and we don't want you to miss it. Don't worry if
you've never heard the podcast before; going in blind might even be the
better option for this one!

[ [link removed] ]Just click here, donate whatever you can to MoveOn, and you'll secure
your ticket to the event on Friday, September 6.

Will we see you there? We better see you there.

–June, Jason, and Paul

P.S. June here again. Listen: Do I want to watch a movie about what I can
only imagine are evil troll dolls? Of course not. But my rights to control
my own body and the rights of every single other woman, girl, trans,
nonbinary, and gender nonconforming person in the country are on the
ballot this November, and it is up to us to do absolutely everything we
can to elect a president who will restore and protect abortion rights
across the country. That's Kamala Harris. And MoveOn has been turning out
voters and winning elections for 25 years.

[ [link removed] ]So let's all suck it up, figure out what these trolls are going to get
up to, and help save democracy while we're doing it. Get your ticket here
now.

 


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.
