Dear MoveOn member,
Lin Miranda here.
2020 has been a challenging year. We're all grappling with the coronavirus
pandemic, racial injustice and police violence, the current economic
fallout, and more.
This is far from the first time our country has been at such a crossroads.
In Hamilton, I wrote, "history has its eyes on you." It was true then, and
it's true now.
[ [link removed] ]With 90 days to go until Election Day, will you support the crucial
work being done by MoveOn and Fair Fight PAC—the organization founded by
Stacey Abrams—to defend and expand the right to vote and help enable every
voter to cast a ballot this November by chipping in $3 now?
Fair Fight was built after countless voters of color were denied the right
to vote in Georgia and around the country in 2018—and now Fair Fight is
shining national attention on the ongoing fight to exercise our voting
rights. And MoveOn is a progressive powerhouse that I've worked with to
fight to end family separation and provide hurricane and earthquake relief
for Puerto Rico—and now they are mobilizing their millions of members in
battleground states to turn out their communities to vote.
This is the most important election of our lifetimes. I know that you're
hearing that a lot, but we say it because it's true. The country is facing
an economic recession, schools are being pressured to reopen in the middle
of the pandemic, the president is openly sowing distrust in our electoral
system, and at every turn, Republicans have been putting up roadblocks to
stop us from voting. The moment we're in looks and feels bleak.
But this is not a moment. It's a movement. When we join together, we can
be more powerful than their attempts to silence our voices and our votes.
Our right to vote is under attack because they know how powerful we are
when we march, organize, and go to the polls. They know that our
commitment to making real "a more perfect union" is strong and that our
desire for a more just and equitable future is unwavering.
That's why Republicans have amassed more than $20 million to suppress
votes in critical swing states that will determine the outcome of the next
presidential election.^1
We have so much urgent work to do to help register everyone who is
eligible to vote—and then we have to fight so that everyone who is
registered to vote can cast their vote.

Fight? Click here now.
In November, we have to vote to clean house of all elected officials on
the local, state, and federal levels who are not acting in the public
interest and elect real leaders who understand the meaning of public
service. History has its eyes on us.
Thank you for all you do.
Siempre,
Lin-Manuel Miranda
