Dear MoveOn member,
The U.S. Department of Justice is now pressing criminal charges against
the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers—two pro-Trump white nationalist
groups—for seditious conspiracy to prevent the "lawful transfer of
presidential power by force" on January 6, 2021.^1
In a chilling legal document, federal prosecutors say that Enrique Tarrio,
the leader of the Proud Boys, had specific plans to gain control of key
buildings in Washington in an effort to overturn Joe Biden's election.^2
John, these disturbing developments show that Trump and MAGA
Republicans are willing to go to violent and deadly ends to install Trump
to a second term.
And now, Trump's next coup is unfolding in slow motion before our eyes.
Trump is laying the groundwork to install himself in the White House in
2024 by building an apparatus of election theft at the state level.
Trump's goal is to install loyalists into state offices where they will
have the power to oversee elections, count and throw out votes, and
declare the winner of the 2024 presidential election.
This is why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our 23-year
history: We've launched a multimillion-dollar effort to defeat
Trump-backed secretaries of state across the country and stop Trump's coup
in its tracks.

supremacist conspiracy theorists from taking over our elections?
Our democracy is on the most uncertain ground it's been on since the
founding of our constitutional republic hundreds of years ago.
A confidential witness who traveled to Washington with the Proud Boys has
told federal investigators that the Proud Boys had specific intentions of
executing Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker Nancy Pelosi if they got
the chance.^3
At a campaign rally earlier this year, Trump stated shamelessly: "There's
a famous statement: 'Sometimes the vote counter is more important than the
candidate.'"^4
Steve Bannon said it outright: "We're taking over all the elections."^5
MoveOn has launched a historic campaign to defeat Trump-backed candidates
for secretary of state and elect honest officials who will count every
vote and respect the will of the people. But our resources come from you,
our members. And we need your help.

stop Trump's plot to install his cronies as elections officials?
Thanks for all you do.
