Dear MoveOn member,
In August of 2018, only about 4 in 10 Americans supported impeaching Donald Trump.1
Even after Robert Mueller delivered his report to Congress, most Americans still didn't support impeachment.
But now, finally, after the White House whistleblower's stunning revelations, public opinion has flipped.
A majority of Americans now support impeachment AND Trump's removal, and that changes everything.2
So now MoveOn is announcing a big decision: We're deploying a team of paid, professional organizers to the states of key Republican senators to mobilize grassroots support for impeachment, conviction, and removal. That means not just hiring staff but also providing the tools, resources, signage, and more for the organizers to do their jobs and maximize the impact of MoveOn members and allies in those states—a full campaign infrastructure, and we're counting on your help.
Will you chip in $3 to help fund MoveOn's no-holds-barred ground game for impeachment?
With public opinion shifting, impeachment could really happen now.
In fact, one Republican senator anonymously told a reporter that "if it was a secret vote, 30 Republican senators would vote to impeach Trump." And as soon as one Republican senator makes a public announcement that they will vote to convict him, the dam will open.
So we're going big with an in-depth organizing campaign to get that one we need to start the dominoes falling—and we've got a proven model that we know works.
In 2017 and 2018, we went big to train MoveOn members to become community organizers and volunteer leaders—hosting events, knocking on doors, and talking to their communities. And it's paid off—big time.
At the same time, MoveOn launched the Nobody is Above the Law network with our partners in order to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people within hours of important news breaking during the Mueller investigation. The strategy worked, with MoveOn members and our allies showing up in huge numbers in key moments.
That laid the groundwork for the critical work we are now doing to impeach Donald Trump and remove him from office once and for all. We've identified the handful of Republican senators who we might be able to pressure to break from Trump.
The organizers we hire in these states will work with local groups to plan events in front of senate district offices, follow senators when they are in town to put them on the spot, generate local media (the kind that senators pay close attention to), and make sure that they know that no matter what the Trump echo chamber says, their constituents want them to vote to remove him from office.
We're on the verge of finally ending this disaster of a presidency. Will you donate $3 to help end it?
Yes, I'm in! I'll chip in now.
Thanks for all you do.
–Vicki Kaplan, MoveOn's organizing director
