Dear MoveOn member,
Breaking: MoveOn just launched a brand-new Our Bodies, Our Vote website for the election! Abortion is one of the most crucial issues this election—since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, abortion has been banned or restricted in 22 states across the nation.1
Millions of people have lost access to abortion, and the GOP is doing everything in its power to control our bodies.2 Enough is enough.
Voters are fired up and angry at these baseless attacks on our bodily autonomy. That’s why MoveOn launched Our Bodies, Our Vote, so people who care about protecting and expanding our reproductive freedoms know when to vote and how to get involved in this election!
Check out the new Our Bodies, Our Vote website now and share it with your friends and family!
MoveOn’s election program kicked off with abortion house parties where members came together to contact voters about the importance of voting for Democrats in this election. Since then, we’ve launched our new national abortion ad. This has the power to persuade people on the fence to turn out to vote in November to protect our rights. As we get closer to Election Day, we will be hosting special phone banks to contact key voters in states with abortion amendments on their ballot.
Voters in Florida, Arizona, Nevada, and other states have the chance to make abortion a constitutional right in their state.3 That’s huge. Florida and Arizona both have incredibly restrictive abortion bans—leaving millions in their state without access to the health care that they need and deserve. The new website will help spread the word about these incredibly important amendments and make sure members can get involved.
Donald Trump nominated three Supreme Court justices during his term and claims responsibility for overturning Roe v. Wade. And yet he continues to be unclear on his abortion stance.4 During this week’s debate, Donald Trump refused to acknowledge if he would veto a national abortion ban or not.5 Then he disturbingly spread lies about abortion and made reckless, conspiratorial comments about killing born babies that were debunked in real time by the moderator.6He also recently went on the record recently to say that he would not vote to overturn Florida’s six-week ban.7
We know the truth: If reelected, Donald Trump would ban abortion nationwide and empower Republicans to continue attacking our bodily autonomy.
Kamala Harris would fight to protect and expand our reproductive rights. And if given the opportunity, she would sign a law into place to restore Roe v. Wade in our nation.8 It’s crucial that voters know what’s at stake in this election—it’s not only the presidency, it’s the future of our rights and freedoms.
Thanks for all you do.

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?
