Dear MoveOn member,
We all know the stakes in the presidential race are enormous for our freedoms and democracy, but we cannot lose sight of the urgent need to also end MAGA control of Congress.
White supremacist Representative Mike Johnson has now been speaker of the House for nearly a year. And the only things stopping him from inflicting irreparable damage to our nation have been a tiny Democratic majority in the Senate and Joe Biden in the White House.
But the presidential race is neck and neck, and Democrats are projected to lose control of the Senate.1,2 There's very little standing between us and a dangerous, dystopian Project 2025 future.
That's why we urgently need to redouble our efforts to help progressive Democratic candidates in the handful of true "toss-up" races in the House.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the world's richest man, is POURING money into the most competitive House races—to the tune of more than $5 million to help Republicans win.3 YES, $5 MILLION.
An eye-popping 20% of the money went into just four MoveOn-endorsed races that hold the keys to the House.
And reportedly, Musk's PAC is planning to spend an ADDITIONAL $10 million to help turn out MAGA voters in these House races.4
We will never match those kind of resources, but we don't need to, because we have the power of the people on our side. But we can and urgently need to help four of the progressive Democrats in toss-up races who are drowning in Musk money and misinformation: Derek Tran in California, Yadira Caraveo in Colorado, Sue Altman in New Jersey, and Josh Riley in New York.
Will you rush a donation split between these four progressive candidates and MoveOn's voter turnout work to help elect them?

As a MoveOn member, you know that our very democracy is on the line this year. You know we must do everything possible to stop a MAGA takeover. And you know that MoveOn was built for this work—for more than a quarter of a century, we've been the ones pounding the pavement and doing whatever is necessary to get voters to the polls. We will succeed in November—if you step up for us right now.
We have kicked off our vote tripling program, which is proven to be as much as five times more effective than other get-out-the-vote methods. We've expanded our hard-hitting abortion ad to turn out surge voters who need extra motivation to get to the polls. And we're providing critical support to the very closest House races, like these in California, Colorado, New Jersey, and New York.
With your support, we can keep our vote tripling tools and tactics running 24-7 until Election Day, reaching hundreds of thousands of voters and ensuring that Vice President Harris isn't defeated by the Electoral College or Donald Trump. And we can stop Elon Musk from buying our elections.
Will you donate to MoveOn's election program and these four critical races? Your donation will be split between MoveOn and Democrats Yadira Caraveo (CO-08), Derek Tran (CA-45), Sue Altman (NJ-07), and Josh Riley (NY-19).

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?
