Move On – November 4, 2024

Posted on November 4, 2024

Election Day is tomorrow. Check your voter registration status now and make your plan to vote!

Dear MoveOn member,

Election Day is less than 24 hours away! Are you election ready?

Tomorrow, we have the chance to reject Donald Trump and his Project 2025 agenda by coming together to elect Vice President Kamala Harris and Democrats down the ballot who will fight for our futures, our freedoms, and our families.

Republican lawmakers across the country know how consequential this election is, and how important your vote is. In fact, in some places they are actively removing voters from the voting rolls and making it more difficult for people to vote.1

That’s why MoveOn developed the Election Ready website, to make sure it’s super easy to check your voter registration, find your polling place, and even spread the word to others.

Will you take just a few minutes to check your voter registration status and make a plan for how to cast your ballot by tomorrow? Our easy-to-use tool site will tell you all the information you need to know about voting in your state.

Kendall, we deserve leaders like Vice President Harris and Governor Tim Walz, who will respect our freedoms—from our freedom to decide when and if we grow our families, to our freedom to vote, to our freedom to earn a good living.

Tomorrow, we can turn the page on Donald Trump and his MAGA movement. Let’s make it happen.

Take just a few minutes to check out the Election Ready site, to check your voter registration status and make a plan to vote by tomorrow.

P.S. If you already voted, will you forward this email to three family members and friends to help make sure they are election ready as well?

Thanks for all you do.

–Toni, Jensine, Nakia, Alexis, and the rest of the team

Want to support MoveOn? The MAGA right is declaring war, and Project 2025 is their battle plan. Project 2025 threatens our rights, attacks communities of color, hurts middle- and working-class families, and undermines our democracy. But we will not back down or let Trump steamroll our nation.

Will you start a monthly donation to power and sustain MoveOn’s election plan, stop Trump, and ensure Project 2025 is never enacted? 

Yes, I’ll chip in $5 a month.

No, I’m sorry, I can’t make a monthly donation.

There has been a lot of conversation and questions regarding the City of Richland Charter Amendment Measure No. 1 (aka Richland Districting). Background:Since Richland was incorporated, 67 years ago, its population has more than doubled (from 24,000 to over 60,000) and its land area has significantly expanded (from 8 square miles to 35 square miles). In a nutshell:The current at-large system, which was adopted in 1958, means that everyone in Richland votes for all 7 City Council positions. Many citizens of Richland have felt under represented and argue that the city has outgrown its current at-large system. ✅ Voting YES on Measure No. 1 supports changing the City Council election structure so that five of the seven council members are elected by geographic district. This is intended to improve accountability and achieve more even representation across the city.❌ Voting No on Measure No. 1 supports keeping the City Council election structure the way that it is.Richland voters, the choice is yours. Do you feel fairly represented by the current system? Or would you rather have council members serve both their district and the city? -------------- Need more details? Here are some common questions:❓ Question: How were the districts created?Answer: The districts were created by following Washington State law using 2020 census population data and GIS precinct data layers. The district boundaries are contiguous, and are equal in population. Council members serve both their district and the city as a whole, preserving teamwork while preventing lockstep conformity. - A Better Richland (ABR) used the state law (RCW 29A.76.010) and guidance from the Municipal Research and Services Center to draw the districts.- The state law requires 1) each district be as close as possible in population, 2) that the districts be composed of whole precincts, and 3) the precincts in a district be contiguous.- Each proposed district has almost exactly 12,000 residents per 2020 census data. The population of each Richland precinct (a geographical area defined by the state for electoral purposes) varies from 361 to 2,219 people. The whole, contiguous precincts for each district are listed in the proposed charter amendment.❓ Question: What is going on with the Proposed District 2?This proposed district takes that particular shape due to the population density in that area and the guidelines listed above (continuous districts with approximately 12,000 residents).❓ Question: Is this politically motivated? Is this gerrymandering?Answer: The proposal is a non-partisan effort supported by Richland voters across the political spectrum. Claims that districts are politically motivated or gerrymandered are completely unfounded. Check out the proposed district boundaries at abetterrichland.com and decide for yourself: experience.arcgis.com/experience/40eb8af4aef640b5a5cba2ef523b1bc2/page/Page?org=s-d-gSources:app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=29A.76.010mrsc.org/explore-topics/elections/basics/district-based-elections?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZB...www.abetterrichland.com/charter-amendment-1 www.sos.wa.gov/elections/data-research/reports-data-and-statistics/precinct-shapefiles?fbclid=IwZ... ...
