Dear fellow MoveOn member,
As Vladimir Putin continues his brutal attack on Ukraine, a Kremlin-backed
TV host in Russia on Tuesday made the case that President Joe Biden should
be removed from office and replaced by Donald Trump, whom the host
described as a "partner" for Moscow.^1
How did Donald Trump respond? With glee.
Instead of rejecting the Kremlin's calls for a coup or condemning Putin's
atrocities against Ukrainian citizens, Trump went on a far-right TV
program to ask Putin to dig up dirt on President Biden and his son,
Hunter—a longtime target of far-right smears.^2
It's not just Trump. The entire GOP has turned its back on democracy and
embraced many of authoritarianism's ideals—and they simply cannot take
control of Congress this November.
Will you join me and chip in $5 a month to MoveOn to fuel
their critical midterm elections work to defeat the GOP and defend our
democracy? I can assure you, your donation will go a long way.

Like you, I have watched Vladimir Putin's deadly invasion of Ukraine in
horror. I have also been reflecting on the broader context: The world is
now frighteningly locked in a battle to the death between democracy and
authoritarianism.
It's a new cold war.
But this time, authoritarian neofascism is not just an external threat. A
version of it has also taken over one of the major political parties in
the U.S.—the GOP.
Just as we defend democracies across the globe, we must come together to
defend ours here at home, too.
This starts by ensuring that the GOP and its racist, neofascist wing does
not regain control of Congress and is defeated in crucial state elections
this November.
For more than 20 years, MoveOn has been proving just how vital an
organization it is when it comes to getting out the vote, defeating the
right wing, and electing strong, progressive leaders who will fight for
all of us. It's one of the reasons I'm proud to be a MoveOn member.
Will you join the fight to protect democracy and defeat the GOP by
chipping in $5 a month to power MoveOn's election efforts?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Donald Trump's preparations for being able
to steal the presidency in 2024 are well underway and include working to
replace top election officials in battleground states with his own
loyalists. Which is why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our
23-year history: We're launching a powerful, multimillion-dollar effort to
defeat Trump-backed secretaries of state across the country and elect
individuals who will count every vote and ensure fair elections.
Will you chip in monthly to power MoveOn's campaign to defeat Trump and
protect our elections in 2022?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
