Dear MoveOn member,
The results are in: With 82% of votes in favor, MoveOn's millions of members have overwhelmingly voted to endorse Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election!
This is only the fourth time that MoveOn members have voted to endorse a presidential candidate, but as we head into what could be the most consequential election in our lifetimes, it could not be more important.
Since the day Donald Trump was elected, MoveOn members have made it clear that our top priority must be defeating Donald Trump at the ballot box this November, and our endorsement of Joe Biden today is a crucial step forward toward that goal. Your support for this endorsement allows us to refine our elections program—already the biggest in our 22-year history—to engage and mobilize voters to vote for Joe Biden and finally end the four hate-filled years of chaos and destruction under Trump.
Here are just a few of the reasons MoveOn members like you voted to endorse Joe Biden:
"We need someone who will advocate for affordable, decent health care, environmental restoration, racial equality, protection of LGBTQ rights, economic justice, and so much more. Our country is bleeding and weaker than ever after 3+ years of Trump."
-Kimberly O., Okemos, MI
"Although not my first choice, Joe Biden is a decent man who will do his best to restore our country. A vote for anyone other than Joe Biden will surely give the election to Donald Trump, and we as a country cannot endure another 4 years of his corruption."
–Kathleen B., Coldwater, MI
"This is the most important election of my lifetime, and I'm almost 60 years old. Joe will build a strong coalition of good people around him. It is important that we as citizens and MoveOn as a group get behind and endorse Joe Biden for president." –Nancy F., Tucson, AZ
Vice President Biden can't win this alone. His campaign will be driven by grassroots people power, and MoveOn members will be on the front lines.
We know how important it is to turn out voters in battleground states, which is why MoveOn has identified 10 states that are most critical to Vice President Biden's victory in November, and we are working overtime to make sure voters in those states show up in droves to elect him this fall. Here's what we'll do to help make that happen:
Two days after Donald Trump was elected in 2016, MoveOn's executive director sent an email that said, "It's almost impossible to describe in words the scale of the threat we face."
The past four years have proved over and over again that statement to be correct.
Charlottesville. The Muslim Ban. The border wall. Billions in tax giveaways to the ultra rich. Brett Kavanaugh. The bungled response to the pandemic. Support for police violence. The list goes on …
Donald Trump's presidency has been an unmitigated, horrifying disaster.
Four months from now, we have a chance to end it—and to put a president in office who will rein in the coronavirus pandemic, expand access to health care, respond to the climate crisis, address systemic racism, advance a more fair and humane immigration system, keep us out of endless wars, and work to create an America where everyone can thrive.
Thanks for all you do.
–Rahna, Vicki, Sky, Kate, and the rest of the team
