Dear MoveOn member,
Anti-diplomacy and warmongering have defined Donald Trump's presidency, but his most recent reckless, illegal acts of aggression have brought us to the brink of all-out war with Iran, a disastrous, unacceptable outcome that we must do everything in our power to stop.
To show Trump and his war-hawk enablers that Americans do not want to enter another potentially endless war, MoveOn is joining together with our partners on Thursday to demand that Trump stop his march toward war.
This nationwide day of action was not part of our budget plan, and we've had only a few days to pull it together, which is why we need your help, John.
Can you rush an emergency donation of $3 now to help us raise $100,000 within the next 36 hours to fuel this nationwide day of action against a war with Iran?
Yes, I'll chip in now to help stop an all-out war with Iran.
Just three years ago, tensions between the U.S. and Iran were at their lowest point in decades, after President Obama, diplomats, and activists—including MoveOn members—succeeded in achieving the Iran nuclear deal, but that goodwill ended almost the moment that Trump took office.
And now, Trump's ordering the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani—conducted illegally, without approval from Congress—is an unprecedented escalation that could put the lives of American troops, Iraqi and Iranian civilians, and many others directly in the crossfire.
We cannot let this happen, and on Thursday, MoveOn members and our allies will make our voices heard.
But with only 36 hours left, we need your help to have the resources to host the online event page so people around the country can find protests in their own communities, launch social media ads to help spread the word about the events, pay for visuals, sound amplification, and permits in big cities, and much more.
Mobilizing to stop endless wars is central to MoveOn's DNA.
MoveOn members were front and center in the broad movement to oppose the Iraq War from the very beginning. Our work helped ensure that millions of people hit the streets in big cities and small towns around the country. We also organized intensive grassroots congressional lobbying; ensured that opposition to the Iraq War was a key issue in the 2004, 2006, and 2008 elections; and through petitions, phone calls, house parties, public protests, and much more, we engaged millions of people in a moral call to action that subsequently led to support for the war being an untenable position for progressives and Democrats to hold.
MoveOn is ready to lead this fight again. In this moment, we must come together to call for peace to stop the would-be dictator in the White House from engulfing our nation in yet another disastrous war.

Thanks for all you do.
