Dear MoveOn member,
The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.1
Within moments of the decision being released, Missouri became the first state to activate its trigger law, banning abortion in the state with no exceptions for rape or incest.2 And in the coming hours and days, Republican lawmakers in at least 25 states will rush to further ban and criminalize abortion.3
To fight back, we are announcing a massive campaign to defeat the GOP this November. Together, we are asking 1 million MoveOn members to pledge to vote out Republicans and fight for abortion rights this November.
John, state politicians—largely cisgender white Republican men—intend to force us to give birth against our will.
When we have been sexually assaulted.
When the fetus has a fatal abnormality.
When having a child will kill us.
When we are in school.
When we cannot afford a child.
When our partner is abusive.
When we do not have the support to nurture a child.
When we are not ready.
When we are pursuing our dreams.
When we do not want a child.
It is gut-wrenching and terrifying. But we cannot allow this unthinkable loss of freedom to lead us to cynicism and inaction.
No, no, no. That's why we are fighting back by announcing a campaign to get 1 million MoveOn members to pledge to vote out Republicans this November.
Thanks for all you do.
–Mana, Emma, Nakia, Rahna, and the rest of the team

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.
