Dear MoveOn member,

I've heard from worried parents, teachers, doctors, and friends about the
MAGA agenda that is threatening our bodies and our communities and
reversing decades of hard fought protections on our civil rights—from
supporting a violent insurrection to crippling our democracy to hurting
LGBTQ children and their families—but together we have the power to defeat
them at the ballot box this November.

We must remove these MAGA Republicans from power to stop the attacks our
civil and human rights and focus on investing in solutions our communities
need instead of catering to the richest 1%.

Today, MoveOn is proud to announce our 2022 election plan to protect our
democracy, motivate key voters, and support strong candidates in key races
up and down the ballot. Check out this amazing coverage on the plan in
Politico this morning:^1

Together, we've shown that MoveOn members can make a powerful impact to
stop Republicans in their tracks, as we did when we blocked them from
repealing the Affordable Care Act during the Trump presidency. And we can
win elections by using the kind of data-driven voter contact we used to
fuel the blue wave in 2018 and 2020.

As attacks escalated in the last two years, MoveOn members have united to
push back: from petition campaigns against school book bans, to calling
out corporations including AT&T and General Motors for supporting
insurrectionists, to helping get Marjorie Taylor Greene removed from her
committee assignments for inciting violence related to the election.^2 Our
election plan will build on this work to take away the levers of power
from these Trump extremists so they can no longer rig the rules for
themselves and their corporate and ultra-wealthy donors. 

It's going to take all of us to come together to defeat the radical MAGA
agenda and elect pro-democracy champions to defend our rights and our
country. Will you join the millions of MoveOn members who are ready to
take action? [ [link removed] ]Sign up now for the next election training on Sunday, June
5, at 8 p.m. ET/7 CT/6 MT/5 PT.

Here's MoveOn's strategy to win in 2022: 

 1. Fight the right and defend democracy. This election is a choice
between the radical ideology that has taken over the Republican Party
and investing in our communities to create an America that works for
all. From blocking progress in the U.S. Senate to fueling abortion
bans in states and attacks on students and trans people, Republican
extremists have shown what they stand for—and that they must be
defeated. One way we're taking the fight to the right is by helping to
elect pro-democracy secretaries of state and governors who will
safeguard our elections and protect our freedom to vote.
 2. Drive campaigns to motivate Democratic voters. Midterm elections are
about turnout, because a smaller number of voters typically heads to
the polls. MoveOn will help voters channel their righteous anger from
the Supreme Court decision, the upcoming January 6 hearings, and more
into concrete plans to vote. 
 3. Expand the base with key voters via innovative voter contact. MoveOn
has a history of running data-informed programs to find specific
messaging and tactics to meet voters where they are in battleground
states. In 2022, MoveOn will build the largest relational mobilization
of the midterm elections, which any MoveOn member can take part in to
get out the vote. Through easy, effective steps, members will
authentically reach voters who might not vote this year without a
personal request from someone they know or a cultural influencer
showing them how.

[ [link removed] ]Ready to get started? RSVP here for the third and final session of the
Progressive Power Training Series on Sunday, June 5, at 8 p.m. ET/7 CT/6
MT/5 PT to get prepared with the tools we need to win in November. 

Elections set the direction for our country every two years. 2020 reset
the national agenda from Trump's reign of horrors to the Biden
administration's steady progress in reopening and rebuilding our economy,
schools, and communities. But MAGA Republicans have extorted their power
at every turn, blocking key legislation to stem gun violence and safeguard
and expand voting rights, while trying to turn back the clock on essential
civil rights across the country. 

In 2022, we must recommit to building an America for All, where racism and
authoritarianism are delegitimized and eventually eradicated. Where
working Americans are no longer second-class citizens of our democracy and
our economy.

All of this work is driven by you, the millions-strong community of MoveOn
members, and it has already started. Members have raised thousands of
dollars for endorsed candidates including Stacey Abrams and Beto O'Rourke.
Phone banks are underway in Texas for a heated congressional primary
runoff election next week. And after hundreds of thousands of people were
in the streets this weekend to declare that abortion is health care,
MoveOn will make sure voters know who is responsible for this draconian
ruling to control our bodies.  

Check out some of the candidates that MoveOn members across the country
have endorsed to champion the fight against extremists and advocate for
progressive change: 

Bee Nguyen for Reginald Bolding Stacey Abrams for Beto O'Rourke for
Secretary of for Secretary of Governor, GA Governor, TX
State, GA State, AZ
Mandela Barnes for Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Representative
Senate, WI AZ Mike Levin, CA-49 Katie Porter,
CA-45
Representative Representative Representative Representative
Jahana Hayes, Lauren Underwood, Colin Allred, Sharice Davids,
CT-05 IL-14 TX-32 KS-03

In 2022, MoveOn is running the largest midterm election campaign in our
history to defeat Trump-backed Republican extremists, protect our
democracy, and continue building an America where everyone can thrive, by
motivating voters, raising millions of dollars for endorsed candidates,
and running evidence-tested voter contact programs.

When we come together, we are powerful, and we can't do this without
you. [ [link removed] ]Join thousands of fellow MoveOn members in getting prepped to win
in November at the final session of the Progressive Power Training Series
on Sunday, June 5, at 8 p.m. ET/7 CT/6 MT/5 PT. You do not need to have
attended the previous sessions to join, and all are welcome.  

For more than two decades, MoveOn members have taken action and mobilized
to win elections and promote progressive change. We have repeatedly taken
on the radical right, channeling our voices to end wars, protect
democracy, and advance justice for all. And we are not done yet. Next up:
We must usher in a larger Democratic majority and keep the radical right
at bay. 

MoveOn members are action takers. You got connected to this community by
signing a petition, attending an event, calling your elected official, or
somehow speaking out for change. Thank you for being stalwart and
passionate organizers through these tumultuous times. I believe in our
power and in the plan we've laid out here, and now it's time to get to
work. 

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 to power our 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.
