Dear MoveOn member,
The Trump administration has reached a shocking new low—yes, shocking even
for Donald Trump. This week, our government began sending letters to
immigrants with gravely ill children, informing them that the program
allowing them to stay in the country to get their children lifesaving
treatment had been terminated and that they and their children will be
deported in the next month.^1
These policies are despicable. They are cruel. And we've got to make sure
that voters end them in 2020—as we work to build the genuinely equitable,
just society we really need.
The Muslim Ban. Shutting down the government for 35 days over his border
wall. Locking up children in cages. Calling murderous Nazis in
Charlottesville "very fine people." Pardoning former Maricopa County
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who shackled a pregnant woman, refused to investigate
child sex crimes, and even bragged that his tent city jail for "illegals"
was a "concentration camp."^2,3,4 The list goes on and on.
As the 2020 election gets underway, we must mobilize to defeat this
disgusting ideology at the ballot box.
That's why MoveOn just printed a big batch of "Vote Against Hate"
stickers, and we're giving them away for free while supplies last.

Although Trump may be the most public face of America's racism, he is only
a symptom of the larger problem of ingrained racism in our society—from
the insides of our living rooms to our board rooms, schools, criminal
justice system, and the halls of Congress.
Fighting to truly dismantle white supremacy must happen on all fronts.
It's not a partisan project—and defeating Trump and the GOP isn't the
end-point. But we have to defeat the most extreme, in-your-face, and
unchecked manifestations of hate in our politics. In 2020 we have a chance
to deal a real blow to racism and its enablers by not only defeating
Racist in Chief Donald Trump but also his allies in the House and Senate.
Like Steve King, the white nationalist representative from Iowa.
Like Mitch McConnell, Trump's single biggest defender.
And like Susan Collins, Cory Gardner, and so many more who remain silent
in the face of Trump's hateful attacks in a desperate effort to protect
their GOP majority.
These Republican politicians deserve a pink slip, and that is exactly what
MoveOn members are planning to deliver to them next November, by building
a grassroots movement that powers a blue wave to sweep Trump and his
apologists out of Washington—and that presses every candidate for office
to be anti-racist.
