Dear MoveOn member,
With only four weeks to go in the Georgia runoff elections that will
decide control of the Senate, the newly updated FiveThirtyEight polling
average has both races on a knife's edge.^1
Jon Ossoff leads David Perdue by less than one percentage point, and Rev.
Raphael Warnock leads Kelly Loeffler by just 2.2%.^2 We are within
striking distance of winning these races and flipping the Senate blue—but
nothing is guaranteed, and just like November's general election,
everything will be decided by turnout.
Which is why Donald Trump's campaign rally in Georgia this past weekend
was so troubling. Despite losing re-election, Trump still has a massive,
loyal following, and his personal involvement in the Georgia races will
undoubtedly drive up enthusiasm among his far-right base. In fact, the AP
calls Trump "the GOP's biggest turnout driver."^3
We simply can't sit back as Trump gins up his base and drives up GOP
turnout.
That's why MoveOn is mounting an ambitious television and radio ad
campaign to energize the Democratic base and persuade independent voters.
But we're not stopping there: We're also launching a bold effort to
blanket crucially important parts of Atlanta with billboards to ensure
that Georgia voters know how corrupt and cruel Loeffler and Perdue have
been before they head to the polls.
With only 28 days left in the election and the races in a dead heat, will
you chip in $5 a month to get TV ads on the air, put up
billboards, keep them up to power Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock
to victory, and enable us to keep up the fight in 2021?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks to the leadership of Black women, Black activists, and local
organizers, the state of Georgia is transforming, voters are more engaged
than ever, our democratic systems are being held accountable, and our
hopes of turning Georgia blue in January are within reach.
John, thanks to these organizers, we defeated Trump just weeks
ago.
Now, we have to do it again.
If Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff both win, Democrats will flip
the Senate and end Mitch McConnell’s despicable reign as Senate majority
leader. Which means that for the first time in a decade, Democrats will
control the House, the Senate, and the presidency—giving us a rare but
critical opportunity to enact bold, progressive legislation to tackle the
climate crisis, rebuild our economy, address the pandemic head-on, advance
racial justice, and much more.
But if we fail to win both Georgia Senate seats on January 5,
President-elect Biden will be the first Democratic president since 1885 to
take office with his party not in control of both chambers of Congress.^4
That's why MoveOn is going all-in to win in Georgia. We have an ambitious
plan to run a huge TV, radio, and billboard ad campaign to get out the
vote.
But we need your help to fully bring these plans to life. Will you chip
in $5 a month to help us get on the air, win in Georgia,
flip the Senate blue, and head into 2021 strong and able to fight for
progressive change with Joe Biden in the White House?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
We know both of these races are neck and neck. The polls are in a dead
heat. And we know that these elections could be decided by only a handful
of votes.
In races this close, every single ad, every single phone call, and every
single dollar can make a world of difference.
Will you rush a $5 monthly donation to win in Georgia, flip
the Senate, and fight for progressive change in 2021?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Mitch McConnell is refusing to even
acknowledge Joe Biden’s victory, and as long as he remains Senate majority
leader, he has the power to stop everything, from Cabinet nominations to
legislation, in its tracks. It doesn’t have to be this way, and it won’t
be … IF we win the two Georgia Senate runoff elections on January 5. We
can win these seats and flip the Senate blue, but we urgently need your
help.
Will you chip in to win in Georgia, flip the Senate, and fight for
progressive change in 2021?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
