Dear MoveOn member,
With only 80 hours left until polls close, so many of us—and especially my friends at MoveOn—are working around the clock to defend our democracy and defeat MAGA extremists.
This election season has been grueling, and I understand if you are running out of steam. But with so little time left, I want to take a minute to remind all of us about what we're fighting for.
In Congress, we're fighting to stop dangerous extremists like Mitch McConnell and Marjorie Taylor Greene from taking over leadership positions and using that power to hold sham hearings, push bogus impeachment proceedings, steal more Supreme Court seats, and put a stop to progress.
We're fighting to give Democrats the power to finally end the Jim Crow filibuster and pass laws codifying Roe v. Wade and same-sex marriage, stopping the GOP's racist attack on the vote, expanding access to health care, and so much more.
And in the states, we are fighting tooth and nail to defend our democracy and protect our rights.
For example, we are fighting to defeat Jim Marchant, the GOP secretary of state candidate in Nevada—a state that has been reliably blue in every presidential election since 2008—who is ahead in the polls and has promised to give the state's electoral votes to Donald Trump in 2024, no matter the real outcome.1
And in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and North Carolina, we are fighting to protect access to abortion from Republican candidates who have promised to ban it if they win.
John, the outcomes of these elections will have real impacts for our friends, our families, and our communities. We cannot forget that as we head into these critical final days.
We're fighting to make sure no 10-year-old is forced to carry a pregnancy to term after being raped.
We're fighting to make sure that no pregnant person is forced to travel thousands of miles to access basic health care.
We're fighting to make sure trans kids can get the lifesaving health care and support that they need.
We're fighting to make sure that the work of Martin Luther King Jr., the Freedom Riders, and so many other brave civil rights activists is not undone by Republicans looking to game the system to win elections.
We're fighting to protect the planet for our grandkids.
In these final hours, every single dollar counts. It means making one more phone call, talking to one more voter, buying one more ad, and potentially making the difference between winning and losing.
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. MoveOn has launched a powerful, multimillion-dollar campaign to stop Trump. But MoveOn needs your help to power our effort.
Will you chip in to power MoveOn's campaign to defeat Trump cronies this November and elect officials who will count each and every vote?
