Move On – February 12, 2025

Posted on February 12, 2025

Dear MoveOn member,

Congress is coming home next week. That means that your representative and senators, who have the power and responsibility to stop Elon Musk’s attack on so much that the government funds, will hear and see us when we remind them that they work for us, not Musk.

During the upcoming congressional recess (February 15-23), MoveOn members nationwide will gather at town halls, outside congressional offices, and in public spaces to push back against the corrupt influence of billionaires like Trump and Musk. We’re making it clear: We won’t stand by while they rig the system for themselves at the expense of everyday people.

Will you host an event during congressional recess to help your neighbors remind your congressperson that they work for us, not Musk?

Wherever you are, whoever your lawmakers are, we need you in on the action! Whether your representative is a leading voice pushing back against Musk’s hostile takeover who deserves kudos, or a Musk apologist who deserves your righteous anger, it’s critically important that they hear and see how concerned we are about Musk’s power grab and attack on our programs while they’re at home. With the razor-thin Republican majority in the House, we only need to convince a handful of them that Elon Musk is bad for our communities in order to stop him from dismantling our government.

By showing up, we can force them to answer for their choices and highlight what’s at stake.

Plan a public event to remind your member of Congress they work for us, not Musk. If you are near an in-district office, consider doing a visibility event outside. If you’re not near an in-district office, pick a site that is being impacted by Musk—a federal building, a hospital, etc. If your member of Congress is holding public events for constituents, create an event to recruit others to join you in attending and you can make sure they get questions about Musk.

Make your voice heard. Sign up to host an event now!

Be sure to post it early to give people time to join. This is our moment to hold our elected officials accountable to us, not to Musk. Let’s make it count.

Thanks for all you do.

–Saskia, David, Gabi, Amanda, and the rest of the team

 

P.S. Want to learn more? Join our monthly Volunteer Network Call on Monday, February 17 at 8 p.m. ET (7 CT/6 MT/5 PT) to get all the details and support you need.

Want to support MoveOn’s work? Donald Trump and his MAGA allies expect us to give up. But we will not give them what they want. We will never stop working to defend our fundamental freedoms and protect our democracy. MoveOn has been leading the movement against right-wing extremism for 26 years, and we promise you that we will still be here every step of the way forward.

Will you donate to power MoveOn’s work to protect our freedoms and democracy under Trump’s administration?

Yes, I’ll chip in $5 a month.

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

    Since the Covid-19 pandemic, support for public health policies has gradually declined. At the federal level certain policies and practices regarding vaccines have been thrown into question.

    Vaccine proponents note the long-time and widespread benefits of the traditional MMR vaccine; vaccine skeptics generally insist it causes autism. Some say the approval process (Operation Warp Speed for Covid-19) was either rushed or rigged; others say the process was instrumental in reducing suffering and saved the lives of millions of people.
