Move On – July 23, 2024

Posted on July 23, 2024

Dear MoveOn member,

Over the last 36 hours, we asked you: Should MoveOn endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president?

An overwhelming 87% of you said YES! MoveOn members have endorsed Kamala Harris for president!

Now comes the work, and let’s be clear that it still will not be easy to defeat Donald Trump, his MAGA cronies, and their Project 2025 takeover of America. That’s where each of us comes in, because together, we can move mountains.

Will you help us show our overwhelming support for Vice President Harris and support MoveOn’s election program to defeat Donald Trump, MAGA, and Project 2025? Your donation will be split 50/50 between Vice President Harris’s presidential campaign and MoveOn’s election work.

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Express Donate: $9

Express Donate: $27

Express Donate: $40

Or, donate another amount

Trump and Vice President Harris could not be more different.

Trump is a sexual predator; Vice President Harris prosecuted sex crimes and defended survivors.1

Trump was responsible for the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade; Vice President Harris has been a strong voice for reproductive freedom.2

Trump rolled back hundreds of environmental protections; Vice President Harris has been fighting Big Oil since the beginning of her career.3

Trump is a privileged white man; Vice President Harris would be the first Black, South Asian, and woman president in our nation’s history.

The difference between Trump and Vice President Harris couldn’t be more stark, and now we need to make that clear to the 1.5 million surge voters who will determine the outcome of the election and the future of our country. We urgently need to connect with them about what a future under a Harris administration would look like vs. what one under a Trump fascist government would do to our nation.

Will you donate now to help elect Kamala Harris and boost MoveOn’s election program? Your donation will be split 50/50 between Vice President Harris’s campaign and MoveOn’s election work.

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Express Donate: $9

Express Donate: $27

Express Donate: $40

Or, donate another amount

The next few weeks are going to be game-changing.

The Harris campaign needs to resource a national campaign, pick a vice presidential candidate, and officially clinch the Democratic nomination. Our focus must be on educating voters who don’t pay close attention to politics about Vice President Harris’s vision for a country that works for all of us and juxtaposing the Project 2025 policies Trump and his cronies plan to put in place if he wins in November.

We’re already redoubling our work with a newly energized, research-based, multifaceted campaign to engage, motivate, and mobilize 1.5 million surge voters—those who need a bit of a push to go to the polls in swing states and districts.

Under Kamala Harris’s leadership, we know we can organize to restore and expand our freedoms and rights, protect our communities, and use the power of the federal government to advance reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy, climate justice, economic justice, racial justice, and more. One thing has always been clear—voters will determine the future of this country. And in November, it will take all of us coming together to elect Kamala Harris. We need you in this moment.

Donate now to help defeat Trump and his MAGA cronies! Your donation will be split 50/50 between Vice President Harris’s campaign and MoveOn’s election work.

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Express Donate: $9

Express Donate: $27

Express Donate: $40

Or, donate another amount

Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn’s work? Voters just defied history and stopped a MAGA wave of extremism at the polls. But there is more work to do to end the filibuster, codify abortion rights into law, and defend our freedoms, our families, and our futures. We can accomplish all this and more, but only if we work together. 

Will you chip in monthly to power our critical work? 

Yes, I’ll chip in $5 a month.

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