Move On – September 9, 2024

Posted on September 9, 2024

With only 57 days until Election Day, we need to take action to make sure all voices are heard this November. Sign up to call voters with MoveOn this Thursday at 7 p.m. ET/6 CT/5 MT/4 PT or this weekend!

Dear MoveOn member,

Across the country, thousands of volunteers are taking action to fight for a future filled with equality, justice, and joy. You may have been one of these volunteers—MoveOn members have been hard at work writing postcards, knocking on doors, and phone-banking to have conversations with undecided voters. With only 57 days left until Election Day, we must continue to relentlessly rally behind Vice President Kamala Harris and defend our democracy from authoritarian threats.

While we’re energized to elect Vice President Harris, we know that there are key voters in crucial battleground states who may need some extra support in turning out this November. By having conversations with these voters, we can protect the progress we’ve made and continue to drive positive change that will create a future we can all believe in. Will you sign up to join a virtual phone bank this Thursday at 7 p.m. ET or this weekend?

Phone Bank to Get Out The Vote (woman holding megaphone)

Nervous about making calls? Be unburdened in knowing that MoveOn staff will be providing a short training and will be available to support you the whole way through. 

MoveOn’s team has narrowed down precise groups of voters in the closest battleground states who will likely determine the election outcome and who need our outreach. Your conversations with undecided voters can make the difference as we fight for a Harris-Walz presidency and down-ballot victories this November. By having conversations about the issues that we all care about, including bodily autonomy, climate justice, and economic equality, we can make sure that voters who likely support Vice President Harris will get the extra nudge to turn out and vote! 

Last week, Kamala Harris emphasized to her supporters in Michigan just how tight this race will be until the very end. “So let’s not pay too much attention to the polls,” she cautioned. “Let’s know … we are out here running like we are the underdog in this race because we know what we are fighting for.”1 We know that this will be an election won on the margins and that we must fiercely defend our democracy by making sure that all voters know exactly what’s at stake this November. 

RSVP now to join this Thursday’s virtual phone bank event at 7 p.m. ET or join us this weekend to ring for change!

Thanks for all you do.

–Mia, Gracey, Justin, Bekir, 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 donate to power MoveOn’s election plan, stop Trump, and ensure Project 2025 is never enacted? 

Yes, I’ll chip in.

    ADDICTION not only disrupts lives but also has significant social and economic impacts for the larger community. Opening of the Columbia Valley Center for Recovery represents a major advancement in the regional services needed to help address addiction challenges.

    In recognition of the opening of the Center for Recovery, the August 5 Badger Club Forum will feature an important conversation about causes, prevention and treatment of addiction. Two experts will consider what addiction is; the gap between what we know and what we do; what the community is and can be doing; what families need to know; and substance abuse prevention and looking to the future.
