Dear MoveOn member,
What happens when election deniers take over the apparatus of our
elections? That's precisely what's at stake this November, because Donald
Trump and Steve Bannon are running a sophisticated plot to install their
lackeys as the election officials who oversee voter registration, vote
counting, and have the power to certify—or decertify—election results in
key battleground states.^1
Steve Bannon said it outright: "We're taking over all the elections."^2
In all, more than 80 candidates who have embraced the Big Lie are running
for state offices that run, oversee, or protect elections.^3 These MAGA
candidates are hell-bent on consolidating power for themselves at the
expense of the rest of us—and our democracy.
John, we have only about 100 days to stop them. But we stopped
Trump in 2020, and we can stop him and the MAGA movement again in 2022—if
we come together, starting right now. It’s going to take each and every
one of us doing all we can.
[ [link removed] ]That’s why on Sunday, July 31 at 7 p.m. ET, MoveOn members from across
the country are gathering together remotely for the launch of our
innovative, grassroots-led get-out-the-vote campaign. Will you join us?
Click here now to register.
To win in November, MoveOn is launching the largest relational voter
contact campaign in the country, meaning that we’ll turn out voters based
on genuine relationships with them, which the research now shows is by far
the most effective way to get voters to the polls—up to five times more
effective than typical get-out-the-vote initiatives like phone-banking and
knocking on doors.^4
This is the approach we innovated and used to help defeat Trump in 2020,
and we’ve spent the last two years building and fine-tuning it.
This year, we’re laser-focused on turning out people who voted for the
first time in 2018 or 2020 but who may not vote this year. These “surge”
voters are likely to be the margin of victory Democrats need to win. But
it will take all of us, working together, to meaningfully reach these
voters and turn them out on election day.
We've designed a program where anyone—wherever you live—can take an active
role in the get-out-the-vote efforts to mobilize the very voters we need
to defeat Trump's MAGA candidates and elect pro-democracy champions ready
to fight for our rights and our communities.
[ [link removed] ]Join us this Sunday, July 31 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT to be a part of the
community of MoveOn members working together to safeguard our democracy
and elect candidates who will fight to build an America for all.
On Sunday’s call, we will hear from special guests and MoveOn leadership
about the key details of our strategy to win the midterm elections. You’ll
learn about your unique role in our plan to protect our democracy,
motivate key voters, and support strong candidates in key races up and
down the ballot.
It’s going to take a movement of people like you and me, working alongside
one another, to make it happen. Democracy is not a spectator sport!
[ [link removed] ]So please join us this Sunday to hear about the opportunities we have
to make a meaningful impact in this election.
Together, we can defeat the radical MAGA agenda and elect pro-democracy
champions to defend our country and our rights and freedom.
Thanks for all you do.
–Emily, Durrel, Amanda, Gabi, and the rest of the team.

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.
