Dear fellow MoveOn member,
2020 has been an excruciating year. But on Tuesday, we could turn the
page.
I would be lying if I told you I wasn't worried. With our country
teetering on the edge between democracy and authoritarianism, more could
not be at stake.
The only way out of this mess is to hand Donald Trump a resounding
defeat—a defeat so decisive that we leave him zero ground to challenge
it—and put Democrats in control of the Senate, ending the Trump-Mitch
McConnell nightmare.
Let me cut to the chase: I'm writing to you right now because I'm getting
asked nonstop about what people can do to have the most impact in these
final days of the election. And one of my main answers is donating to
MoveOn, because no organization in America has a better track record of
success using cutting-edge strategies to get out the vote and win
elections than MoveOn.
[ [link removed] ]With everything on the line and so little time left, will you rush an
urgent $3 donation to MoveOn right now, to help them get out
the vote in battleground states in these final three days? This is the
very last time MoveOn will ask before Election Day.
MoveOn is running the biggest voter turnout campaign in its 22-year
history. It's a massive, sophisticated operation, with three core
components:
1. MoveOn is focused on engaging 7 million young people and people of
color in battleground states who are often overlooked by the
traditional campaigns—rather than trying to win over and turn out the
ever-elusive "swing voter," a strategy that has failed Democrats in
election cycle after election cycle. These "high-potential voters" can
make the difference—if we inspire them to want to vote and then get
them to turn out.
2. MoveOn is pioneering a groundbreaking new approach called "relational
organizing" to turn out these high-potential voters. It's based on
research showing that voters are much more likely to be persuaded by
people they already know than by strangers knocking on their doors.
More than 840,000 volunteers are working with MoveOn to get three or
more of their friends in battleground states to the polls—and help
deliver the margin of victory in those states. The concept is simple,
but the potential impact is massive. Data shows that relational
organizing can increase voter turnout by as much as 12%.
3. Everything that MoveOn is doing, from running ads to creating custom
videos, is backed by data and analytics. That means, for instance,
that before ads are run to large audiences, they are tested to see if
they are effective. MoveOn's data and analytics team is top-notch.
They are making sure that MoveOn's resources—which come from MoveOn
members like you —are well spent.
The bottom line is that I am in awe of the work that MoveOn is doing to
mobilize voters in what is the most important election in my lifetime.
This is the hard, essential work of winning an election—and winning it
with grassroots, people power.

to MoveOn?
It all comes down to this, John. We CAN do it—together.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? As Senator Elizabeth Warren says, "If you
are committed to helping win this life-or-death fight, now is the moment
to step up. MoveOn and I are giving this fight our all." With just days
left in one of the most consequential elections in U.S. history, we have
an urgent question:
Will you chip in to help MoveOn power a blue wave, defeat Trump, and flip
the Senate?
