Dear MoveOn member,

This is Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's ice cream and longtime
MoveOn member.

Do you ever feel grateful? Truly appreciative of someone or something in
your life?

Right now, I'm feeling that genuine gratitude toward MoveOn—an
organization that brings millions of us together from every corner of the
country to fight for a more just country and to save our planet,
regardless of which party is in power, and that does so on the fuel of
grassroots energy and donations.



I'm about to tell you more about why I'm feeling the MoveOn gratitude. But
first, let me get to the point of this email: I'm asking you to
donate $5 a month to keep the engines of this grassroots
machinery moving ... and in doing so, you'll have a chance to win a copy
of a book I wrote ... signed by, well, me. And, of course, I'll also throw
in a pint of ice cream.

What do you say? Can you make a $5 monthly gift to help
MoveOn, which has been there to help in so many fights across the decades?
Remember, when you chip in, you'll be entered for a chance to win a signed
copy of my book and a pint of ice cream.

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.

[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.



Over the years, I've worked with MoveOn on all manner of issues: stamping
big money out of politics, pushing for diplomacy around the world,
demanding that the ultrawealthy pay their fair share, and so much more.

Right now, MoveOn is fighting on all these fronts and more—MoveOn members
are showing up to protect abortion access and cancel student debt, defend
our democracy and resist MAGA extremism, advocate for workers, and
confront corporate power.

It's a lot! And that doesn't surprise me, because MoveOn has more going on
than a pint of Everything but the Kitchen Sink (which, as you can tell,
has a lot going on).



That's why I support MoveOn. And that's why I'm asking you to do the same.
When you make a gift of $5 a month—or whatever you can
afford—you'll be entered for a chance to win a copy of my latest book ...
signed by me ... and a pint of ice cream!

Here's what I like about MoveOn:

* MoveOn does the impossible. Seriously. The awesome might of millions
of members, the huge effect of top-notch data and tools, and the
splash of special sauce means they are often able to have an impact
that other groups just aren't capable of—or that conventional wisdom
would deem unbelievable.
* MoveOn is principled. MoveOn's been around for nearly 25 years (its
birthday is this fall!) and has remained committed to listening to its
members, running on grassroots donations, demanding radical
transparency from larger donors, rejecting corporate funding, and
speaking truth to power—regardless of who is in the White House or
holds the gavel in Congress.
* MoveOn is awesome! I mean it: fun, creative, innovative. If MoveOn
were a flavor of ice cream, it would be Chunky Monkey (my personal
favorite), because it never fails to bring a sparkle to my eyes.

Here's one more thing: MoveOn is unafraid of complicated ideas. And that
has to do with some of what I'm working on now.

In my own work recently, I've been focused on how we can curb police
violence—particularly the violence committed against Black and brown
Americans. This is a complicated issue that won't be solved by punishing
one or two "bad apples," investing hundreds of millions more in training
officers, or popular brands writing "Black Lives Matter" on their
Instagram feeds. As important as some of that is, there's a bigger
picture, and I've been learning more about it ... and writing more too.

I recently wrote a book called Above the Law, which is about one reform
that could have enormous impact on reducing police violence, saving Black
lives, and reshaping the interactions between our police and communities
of color: ending qualified immunity—the sweeping protection police
officers receive from civil lawsuits.

And though I know that one book won't transform policy, many more people
need to know about and understand qualified immunity if we have any hope
of ending it.

That's why I'd like to send you a signed copy of my book—and I'd like to
ask you to support MoveOn. MoveOn has millions of members around the
country, and one thing it does really well is help bring new, complicated,
and provocative ideas to its massive membership.

We need organizations like MoveOn—an organization that will advocate to
end qualified immunity and also use its resources, megaphone, and
platforms to engage its millions of members in what qualified immunity is;
an organization that will fight the battles in Congress today while
preparing for the battles tomorrow.



So please support MoveOn with a $5 monthly gift—and in
doing so, check out my book—and together, let's learn, organize, advocate,
lead, and work.
