Dear MoveOn member,

Here's the breakthrough we've been waiting for: On Saturday, former White House counsel Pat Cipollone testified before the congressional committee investigating the January 6 insurrection.1 Finally.

The big news comes on the heels of White House insider Cassidy Hutchinson's smoking-gun testimony last week.2

The January 6 committee is showing in no uncertain terms that Donald Trump and his white supremacist MAGA allies planned, promoted, and led a criminal conspiracy to try to overthrow the U.S. government—and are now actively working to stop witnesses from testifying about it.3

Meanwhile, before our very eyes, Trump and his MAGA allies are putting in place the pieces necessary to attempt a second coup in 2024. Their plan centers around installing Trump lackeys into offices that oversee elections in battleground states.4 And time is running out to stop it.

That's why MoveOn is doing something unlike any other campaign in our 23-year history: running a multimillion-dollar effort to support state-level candidates who, with our collective help, can defeat MAGA candidates and stop Trump's coup. And after Hutchinson's explosive testimony last Tuesday, it's more urgent than ever.

Will you chip in $5 a month to stop the Trump coup and elect state officials who will safeguard our democracy and count every vote?

Yes, I'll chip in monthly.

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.

Cassidy Hutchinson was in close proximity to Trump in the days leading up to January 6, and her testimony was explosive. She testified that:

John, we cannot let anyone who was involved in the deadly Capitol insurrection, or those who have spent the last 18 months parroting Trump's lies about it, run our government. Our democracy hangs in the balance.

But Trump's current coup plot is well underway. His plan is to install his cronies as governors and secretaries of state, since these are the officials who oversee voter registration, certify election winners and losers, and are even empowered to throw out ballots.8 When the 2024 presidential election comes, these loyalists will ensure Trump is declared the winner—no matter the true will of the voters.

Steve Bannon said it outright: "We're taking over all the elections."9

That's why MoveOn is investing $30 million—the biggest midterm election investment in our history—in order to stop Trump's white supremacist coup.

But as a grassroots organization, our money comes from you, John. Will you chip in $5 a month to help defeat MAGA candidates and elect secretaries of state and governors who will defend our democracy and count every vote?

Yes, I'll chip in monthly.

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.

Thanks for all you do.
