Dear MoveOn member,
On Tuesday, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham introduced a bill to ban abortions nationwide, much to the delight of anti-abortion extremists across the country.1 Mike Pence responded by saying that stripping away rights from women, girls, trans, and nonbinary people "is profoundly more important than any short-term politics."2
When the GOP tells you who they are, believe them.
A nationwide ban on abortion has always been their plan. If they succeed in taking control of Congress in just 53 days, they will pass that bill and set themselves up to make it the law of the land in 2024 if they are able to finish what they started in 2020 and install Donald Trump back into the White House no matter the actual outcome of the election.
MoveOn is working harder than ever before to ensure that the abortion extremists who make up the GOP do not take power in this year's elections, investing an unprecedented $30 million in our campaign to stop them.
We're investing millions in television and digital ads in critical swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
MoveOn members are joining phone and text banks by the thousands to help reach our goal of contacting 6.6 million "surge" voters, meaning those people who turned out for the first time in 2018 or 2020 and became the margin of victory for Democrats. If we can turn them out again, we will win in November.
And MoveOn's analytics teams have put together an innovative message-testing program to ensure that our ads are micro-targeted to exactly the right voters and that the messages are as persuasive as they can be.
John, there are many ways for you to get involved in the effort to defeat anti-abortion extremists at the ballot box, but one simple way is by ordering this free sticker. By placing it somewhere visible, you are helping to spread the word that this year's midterm elections will determine whether we protect our rights and our democracy—or if our country is allowed to slip fully into neo-fascist authoritarianism.

Thanks for all you do.
