Dear MoveOn member,
I am heartbroken. With last night's election results being called for
Donald Trump, there's no denying that this is a devastating blow. For
years, millions of us have organized, mobilized, and come together to do
all we can to stop Trump and MAGA's dangerous Project 2025 agenda and to
fight for a democracy that includes and works for all of us. And today,
we're holding the most vulnerable and marginalized in our society deeply
in our hearts.
Let's be clear: We are not going anywhere, and our work will not end
here.
Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are counting on us to give up and let
them take over our country. Thus far, more than 66 million people voted
against their hate-filled agenda and we will not let them take our
freedoms and country away from us.^1
So many of us are feeling a range of emotions right now: fear, anger,
confusion, sadness. But whatever you're feeling, you don't have to face it
alone. You are part of a community of millions of like-minded MoveOn
members across the country, and no matter what's next, we'll face it
together.
[ [link removed] ]Join us this Thursday for a livestream conversation, where millions of
us across the country will come together to make meaning of this moment
and discuss how we navigate what's to come, together. The road ahead of us
is long. But we are not alone.

This outcome is devastating to all of us who have worked so hard to
protect our fundamental freedoms and preserve and strengthen the beautiful
experiment of American democracy.
It is more important than ever that we continue to be there to protect
free and fair elections, defend communities under attack, and fight for
our freedoms. We refuse to let Trump take us back. MoveOn resisted Trump's
agenda at every turn during his first presidency, and we're prepared to do
it again.
[ [link removed] ]But the truth is that we have a lot of work ahead of us, and we know
from experience that the only way to stop Trump is for us to stick
together. Will you join the conversation on Thursday?
Although the outcome of this election isn’t what we had hoped for, you
should feel proud of the work we accomplished and the effort we put in
during the election. All of that work—the time spent talking to voters,
building community with our neighbors—is a key part of building the strong
movement we'll need in the weeks and months ahead.
Starting early this year, we set out to engage, persuade, and mobilize
infrequent, unmotivated, Democratic-leaning surge voters to make it to the
polls. MoveOn used a combination of innovative and traditional tactics,
including direct voter contact, targeted paid media, and connecting with
harder-to-reach voters through influencers, celebrity ambassadors, and a
novel GOTV ice cream truck tour in partnership with Ben Cohen and Jerry
Greenfield.
So whether you made a donation to MoveOn’s program, volunteered to reach
out to surge voters, or joined one of our online events—you played a
critical role in this election. No matter what comes next, the work we've
put in together will create the base for how we move forward together.
Thank you for the actions you've taken to strengthen our democracy and our
communities.
[ [link removed] ]Now, it's up to us to be ready to defend against the worst of Trump's
plans for his second term. Millions across the country will come together
this Thursday. Will you join us?
Thanks for all you do.
