Move On – October 25, 2024

Posted on October 25, 2024

Will you RSVP to join us and other ice cream makers and ice cream lovers on Sunday, October 27 at 8 p.m. ET for an ice cream social call where we’ll talk about politics, ice cream, and electing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz?

Dear MoveOn member,

It’s Tom Colicchio, head judge of Top Chef, and Jeni Britton of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, and we want to invite you to our get-out-the-vote virtual ice cream social where we’ll be joined by some of the nation’s leading ice cream makers, including Ben and Jerry and Pooja Bavishi of Malai, to discuss what’s at stake this election, what kind of ice cream captures the spirit of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, and how we’ll win together.

I Scream! You Scream! We All Scream … for Harris-Walz! RSVP now and invite three friends to join us on Sunday, October 27 at 8 p.m. ET (7 CT/ 6 MT/ 5 PT).

And everyone who joins the call has a chance to win an autographed pint of our premium, limited-edition, handmade “Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee.” 

The election isn’t just on November 5; it’s happening right now. Tens of millions of voters have already cast their ballots, but we still have time to turn out millions more for Vice President Kamala Harris, Governor Tim Walz, and progressives up and down the ballot.

Ice cream is such a joyful way to bring people together. That’s why MoveOn launched the “Scoop the Vote” tour, a get-out-the-vote ice cream truck that has traveled to seven states across the nation to help voters make a plan to vote, recruit volunteers, and celebrate the sweetness of our democracy. At each stop, voters get free ice cream while also getting involved in the election, checking their voter registration, and turning out their friends and family to vote. Not everyone has gotten the chance to visit the Scoop the Vote truck, but everyone is invited to our call!

Will you join us for our get-out-the-vote virtual ice cream social this Sunday at 8 p.m. ET?

We’re very excited for so many great ice cream makers—and ice cream enthusiasts!—to join the call this Sunday, where we’ll share more stories from the national tour of the get-out-the-vote ice cream truck, swap ice cream anecdotes with the makers of some of America’s most beloved flavors, and get ourselves set for the sweetness of getting voters to the polls.  

You’ll even have a chance to win a pint of Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee, the special premium ice cream handmade—and autographed—by Ben and Jerry.

We’ll be joined by:

  • Ben and Jerry
  • Pooja Bavishi

Will you join us too? Click here to RSVP, and then invite three friends so that they can join us too.

Thanks for all you do.

–Tom Colicchio and Jeni Britton



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.

    We’ve watched as college gets more expensive, ICE kidnaps our friends, politicians go to war on our dime, good jobs disappear, and our futures get more uncertain. Billionaires want to rig the system, but we’re rising up on May Day because the system can’t function without us!

    Together we will be flexing our collective muscle in a tremendous day of power - showing our unity through a day of marches, rallies, and actions including No Work No School No Shopping in many cities.
