Dear John,
I'm writing to you today to ask you to take action.
I don't need to explain to you the unique difficulty of the situation
we're in right now—I know that you understand just how serious and
important this is.
And I know that you, John, aren't going to just observe from
the sidelines. MoveOn's 20-year history has shown that MoveOn members like
you step up in a big way—especially when things are really bad. You don't
just observe, you act.
John, will you take action right now by starting an online
petition on an issue that's impacting you or your community during this
global pandemic?

What upsets you the most right now? Having seen the coronavirus outbreaks
that followed the forced in-person voting in Wisconsin, are you going to
ask your governor to expand vote by mail options in your state? [ [link removed] ]Start a
petition to your governor or secretary of state right now.
Are you worried about how those who suffer from domestic violence are
doing during a lockdown? [ [link removed] ]You can start a petition to your state or
local government to make sure that domestic violence victims are able to
continue accessing life-saving support and care.
Are you or your loved ones struggling financially to get through the
COVID-19 crisis? [ [link removed] ]Create a petition calling on Congress to pass a relief
package that helps everyday Americans.
I know that you care about many people and issues, and that you want to
take action. You might think, "I do, sure, but what will starting a
petition do?" It almost feels too easy. A few clicks, a little bit of
typing, and that's supposed to make a difference? But, John, I
promise you, it does make a difference.
Last May, MoveOn Civic Action joined with coalition partners to organize
the largest petition delivery in U.S. history, delivering 10 million
signatures calling for impeachment—and Donald Trump was impeached.
Petitions show grassroots power and put pressure on politicians to act.
And on May 21, a petition started by a MoveOn member, calling on Congress
to provide essential frontline workers with hazard pay and that has—as of
this moment—1,397,913 signatures was delivered to the Senate, along with a
petition for an Essential Workers Bill of Rights, to ensure that workers
come first in the next relief package passed by Congress.
You have the power to make a difference, John. [ [link removed] ]Will you
start a petition today and advocate for an issue that matters to you?
