Dear MoveOn member,

President-elect Biden needs a bold, ambitious agenda to meet the deep
challenges of our time, and he'll need a strong, progressive, grassroots
movement at his back to get it done. That's where we come in. It's time
for us to demonstrate why bold, transformative policies are needed and to
get the folks we elected to think big.

That was my argument in an op-ed in The Hill, a Capitol Hill publication,
on the day that Congress returned from Thanksgiving recess this week. In
it, I wrote this:

President Biden will need to do more than merely ask Congress to put forth
a legislative agenda that addresses the crises currently devastating the
nation. He will need to be prepared to deliver that agenda on his own,
through executive action. Importantly, he will have both the mandate and
the power to do so.

And bold solutions are not only urgently needed by Americans in dire
straits, but they are smart politics. Solutions to the pandemic, expanded
access to health care, clean-energy jobs, criminal justice reform, and
other progressive approaches to governance don’t just help people, they’re
also wildly popular. They are what the voters are demanding.

To ensure our message is heard loud and clear, MoveOn is also running a TV
ad in the Washington, D.C., area this week, pushing President-elect Biden
to go big. As Politico Playbook reported, this is part of a broader effort
to urge the new administration to rise to the level to meet these historic
crises. You can watch and share the video below:

Right now, we're aiming these important messages directly to folks in D.C.
because Biden's advisers—many of whom live and work in D.C. and listen to
Washington's conventional wisdom—are considering what kind of
administration he'll have, how transformative he'll seek to be, and what
risks he can take.

MoveOn is made up of millions of progressives from all across the country.
No matter where we live, we need to influence that conventional wisdom to
demonstrate that all across the country, the voters who cast their ballot
for him—as well as those Americans who didn't—are facing enormous
challenges that require far more than business as usual.

Together, we can achieve big things, and we can't go back to the pre-Trump
status quo. America has never worked for all of us, so this is our chance
to rebuild by building power for the people instead of corporations and
the wealthy.

the national conversation and show that you're ready for transformational
change. 

Thanks for all you do.
