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.
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
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?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.
