Move On – November 3, 2024

Posted on November 3, 2024

RSVP to join a MoveOn phone-bank to talk to voters in the final days, including November 5!

Dear MoveOn member,

It’s Natasha Rothwell. You might know me from TV shows like “The White Lotus,” “Insecure,” or “How to Die Alone.” Or maybe you recognize my name from my openly dragging Donald Trump on social media during his time in office.

Every day for four years during Trump’s presidency, I tweeted my thoughts about him (hint: not so nice) as a daily reminder that nothing we were living through was normal or acceptable.

And this time around would be no different. Trump is still a major threat to our freedoms and communities and could do irreversible harm if he becomes the next president. Trump has made his agenda crystal clear: It’s anti-choice, anti-democracy, and very, very racist. He doesn’t care about the facts, just the clicks. Americans can’t afford four more years of his blundering and hateful rhetoric, let alone the dangerous policies he would put in place under Project 2025.

For the sake of our democracy, safety, and my own social media feed—we can’t go back to living under a Trump administration. The only way to prevent it is to make sure everyone votes for Vice President Harris on November 5.

One of the best things you can do during this home stretch is speak directly with Harris-Walz supporters in key states over the phone and help them turn out to vote. Will you join MoveOn for a shift?

I’m so heartened by the millions of people who have already cast their ballots in this election. Now, we’ve got just a few days left to talk to as many voters as possible and ensure every American gets the chance to make their voice heard.

Phone-banking is an easy and effective way to help people make it to the polls. Each shift begins with a brief training, and MoveOn couldn’t make it easier to jump in and get to work. There are a ton of options for scheduled shifts before the polls close, so you can choose a couple of hours that work best for you and your schedule.

MoveOn connects you with voters in key states who might not get to the polls to vote without hearing from you. These phone calls are so critical because you’ll be talking to folks whom we KNOW we need to turn out in order to win.

Let’s leave it all out on the field before and on Election Day! Sign up to help voters in key states make a plan to vote.

Thanks for all you do.

–Natasha Rothwell



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.

Time is running out to vote! Drop your ballot off at one of these ballot boxes: www.bentoncountywa.gov/government/elected_officials/auditor/elections/current_election/drop_boxes...If you know someone: a parent, sibling or friend, who doesn’t vote because they have a feeling it doesn’t matter.... Tell them to vote for their kids, to vote for their brother or sister, for their neighbor. It might matter to that other person and we are MUCH stronger when we do things for each other... not for ourselves. #vote #franklincountywa #bentoncountywa #tricities ...

    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.

Still at 6pm on Friday the 14th. The group will order a selection of pizzas and some of our generous members will share some pitchers of beer. You're on your own for salad bar and soda. Sorry about the last minute change!
