Dear MoveOn member,

With Democrats Mandela Barnes and John Fetterman—who are locked in two of
the tightest races for Senate in the country against two very dangerous
men—you get the real deal.

Real people, fighting from the heart for a country where all of us can
thrive. These are candidates to be proud of.

John Fetterman has dedicated his life to leveling the playing field for
working people. As the former mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, Fetterman
worked to build the once-booming steel town back from collapse, and as the
state's current lieutenant governor, he has fought for economic justice
and criminal justice reform.^1

Mandela Barnes, Wisconsin's lieutenant governor, has dedicated his life to
fighting from the heart for hardworking families like his own. Mandela's
mom was a Milwaukee school teacher, and his dad worked the third shift at
the General Motors plant. Those were solid, middle-class jobs—the kind of
jobs that could support a family.^2

Every day, Barnes and Fetterman fight for their communities and all of us.
And, today, they need us to fight for them.

The attacks from Republicans have been dirty, relentless, and well
funded—and it's showing in the polls for both races.^3 The head of the
Republican Party last week even mocked Fetterman's disability as he
recovers from a stroke.^4 It was reminiscent of Donald Trump, in his 2016
campaign, mimicking a reporter with a congenital joint condition that
limited movement in his arms.

Mandela Barnes and John Fetterman in these critical final days? 100% of
your donation will go to their campaigns.

John, Fetterman's opponent, Republican Mehmet Oz, said last
week that abortion should be decided between "women, doctors, [and] local
political leaders."^5

Barnes' opponent, MAGA Republican Ron Johnson, said after the Supreme
Court struck down Roe v. Wade that people seeking abortions could simply
"move."^6

Of course, Johnson tried to personally deliver a slate of fake electors to
Mike Pence on January 6 in order to illegitimately install Trump for a
second term.^7

And both Oz and Johnson spread dangerous lies about COVID during the
height of the pandemic.^8,9

These men are dangerous, and we have to stop them from winning and handing
Mitch McConnell the Senate gavel.

[ [link removed] ]With eight days to go before the election, will you make a
$3 donation today that will be evenly split between Barnes
and Fetterman? Evenly split between defeating Oz and Johnson?

Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are
methodically enacting a plan to place some of Trump's most ardent
supporters in key election offices that oversee vote counting, have the
power to certify—or decertify—election results, and declare election
winners and losers. We've launched a powerful, multimillion-dollar
campaign to stop Trump. But we need your help to power our effort.

Will you chip in to power our campaign to defeat Trump cronies this
November and elect officials who will count each and every vote?
