Dear MoveOn member, 

Did you hear the HUGE news? Stacey Abrams just announced she is running
for governor of Georgia!^1

And that's not all: Beto O'Rourke just launched his campaign for governor
of Texas!^2

The gubernatorial elections in Georgia and Texas will be two of the most
important and hotly contested elections next year, and we know the GOP
will spread despicable lies and use every racist and sexist tool they can
to take down Beto and Stacey. 

That's why we need to have their backs—starting right now. 

[ [link removed] ]Will you rush a $3 donation today to help power Stacey
Abrams and Beto O'Rourke to victory? Your donation will be split evenly
between their campaigns.

As Georgia Republicans pass disgusting, Jim Crow-style voter suppression
laws, Abrams—a towering figure in the fight to protect voting rights—is
running to protect our constitutional right to the ballot box.^3

And as Texas Governor Greg Abbott bans the mask and vaccine mandates
recommended by public health officials and throws his support to
anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists, Beto O'Rourke is running on a
pro-science, pro-vaccine, and pro-public health platform.^4

In the face of a Republican Party that is committed to destroying our
democracy, endangering lives during a global pandemic, and spreading
misinformation, Stacey Abrams and Beto O'Rourke are the kinds of
progressive leaders we desperately need in office. 

That's why MoveOn will pull out all the stops to support their campaigns
and defeat their extreme Republican opponents. 

In the future, we will ask you to volunteer your time, make phone calls,
send text messages, and more to support Beto and Stacey. But right now,
the most important thing we can do to support their campaigns is to ensure
they have the financial means to hire organizers and get their campaigns
started on the right foot. 

[ [link removed] ]Will you rush a $3 donation—or whatever you can—to Stacey
Abrams' and Beto O'Rourke's campaigns for governor? 100% of your donation
will go DIRECTLY to their campaigns.

Every election cycle, MoveOn members come together to collectively
contribute millions of dollars directly to candidates and their campaigns.

That's why MoveOn members like you are a core part of the backbone of our
progressive movement and are some of the most cherished supporters of
Democratic campaigns. 

Part of what makes MoveOn members so effective and important is that you
understand the importance and value of investing early in an election
cycle. You know that making a political donation early on is what allows
campaigns to hire more organizers, run more ads, and reach more voters. 

[ [link removed] ]That's why we're coming to you today with an important question: Will
you make a $3 donation TODAY to Stacey Abrams' and Beto
O'Rourke's campaigns for governor?

Thanks for all you do.
