Dear MoveOn member,

Grrrrrr! I am frustrated, anxious, and ready to win, but MoveOn has a
major hurdle right now, and we need your help.

After this email, we want to completely stop fundraising for our
get-out-the-vote work and move 100% of our staff and energy into getting
out the vote.

Here's the problem: Our get-out-the-vote program is still $85,000 short.
And until we close that gap, we have to keep writing fundraisers.

What makes this extra maddening is that if our entire staff could focus
completely for these final three days on organizing to turn out surge
voters in battleground states who don't consistently vote, there's a real
chance that we could not only prevent Donald Trump from winning but also
stop a MAGA takeover of the House and Senate. Unfortunately, we can't pay
for our elections program with a sense of urgency—we have to use actual
money.

[ [link removed] ]Please: Chip in $9 now. This is the last MoveOn
fundraiser of the election season, will you help ensure that we can zero
in completely on getting surge voters who do not consistently vote to the
polls before they close on Election Day?

Believe me: I'd much rather be organizing voters right now than writing
this email. Here at MoveOn, we're pretty much eating, sleeping, and
breathing this election. And while we're seeing a wild toss-up, where the
presidency and control of both the House and Senate is likely to come down
to a few votes in a handful of battleground states, we are also seeing
positive signs on the ground that we could actually win this thing if we
don't take our foot off the gas.

The MAGA world is giddy right now, because they believe the writing is on
the wall that they're going to win it all.^1 They have been circulating
heavily biased polls to push this false narrative with the goal of
demoralizing Democratic voters and getting them to stay home on Election
Day. Make no mistake, this is a deliberate tactic, and we need to do
everything we can to stop it from impacting voters.

And in the last several days, Trump and his sycophants have started to
spin out their plans to put in place the horror that is Project 2025. Elon
Musk announced he'll help Trump cut "at least $2 trillion" from the
federal budget—which would decimate Medicare and Social Security.^2 MAGA
House Speaker Mike Johnson spoke excitedly about dismantling the
Affordable Care Act.^3 And Trump, talking about RFK Jr., a rabid
anti-vaxxer, said, "I'm going to let him go wild on health, I'm going to
let him go wild on the food, I'm going to let him go wild on medicines."^4

And that's not even touching on their plans to ban abortion and birth
control nationwide, start mass deportations, give even more massive tax
breaks to the ultra-wealthy, and so much more.

The latest polling shows every single swing state is within the margin of
error.^5 In this kind of situation, person-to-person voter contact can
make all the difference in the world.

And that's exactly where the $85,000 we need to raise will go: reaching
out to infrequent, left-leaning voters in battleground states who may sit
this election out. These voters are not paying close attention to the
race. But we know that if we engage them about what's at stake, they'll
vote. We need to reach 1.5 million voters in the next two and a half days
to hit our goal. And we think we could do it ... if it's the only thing
any of us think about—and the only thing we send emails and texts
about—from now until Election Day.

[ [link removed] ]This is our final fundraiser. Take money off of our minds. Can you chip
in $9?

Seriously: It's time for the fundraising team to shut down.

All of us on the MoveOn staff want to help get out the vote—and we're SO
CLOSE to meeting our final fundraising goal, it's driving me bonkers! This
will be the last fundraiser of the election season—and then our voter
mobilization team will go into turbo mode.

[ [link removed] ]The election's just 48 hours away. Can you chip in $9 now
so we can shut down the elections fundraising team, turn our attention to
voter contact, and give it everything we've got?

Let's go win this election!

Thanks for all you do.

–Rahna along with Kelly, Emily, Oscar, and the rest of the
(soon-to-be-dissolved-with-your-help) elections fundraising team

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.
