Move On – September 21, 2024

Posted on September 21, 2024

Dear MoveOn member,

A slew of new polls were released this week, and here’s the bottom line: Vice President Kamala Harris has the momentum, but the race remains tied, and the winner is going to be decided by razor-thin margins.1

It will all come down to turnout, turnout, turnout—and every single one of us has a role to play to make it happen.

One simple but effective way to help is by continuing to build excitement and energy about the Harris-Walz campaign. Why? Because we know that social pressure or “FOMO” (the fear of missing out) is very effective at persuading inconsistent voters to cast a ballot, especially when that pressure comes from their friends, family, and community.

We wanted to give you a fun and unique way to participate, which is why MoveOn’s design team created these free, downloadable cellphone backgrounds that you can use to help build momentum for the campaign by turning your phone into a mini, mobile billboard!

Just click here or on the image below to get yours now!

MoveOn’s data team has identified 1.5 million inconsistent but progressive-leaning voters in battleground states and districts, and we have been hard at work for months reaching out and persuading them to cast their ballots. So far, MoveOn volunteers have:

  • Made more than 483,192 calls, connecting directly with these key voters to talk about Trump’s fascist plans and Project 2025 and how a Harris administration could help everyone thrive
  • Sent 73,339 postcards to provide these voters information about key issues they care most about and what’s at stake in this election
  • Hosted more than 550 house parties to meet these voters in their own communities, hear their stories, help convince them that their voice and vote matter, and ensure they feel empowered to make a difference at the ballot box

This is the kind of old-fashioned, roll-up-your-sleeves work that wins elections.

There are so many ways to get involved, and you can start by downloading your free Kamala Harris cellphone background. That way, every time you pull out your phone, you’re helping to spread the word and encouraging your friends, family, colleagues, and community to get out and vote!

Click here to download yours now!

Thanks for all you do.

–Elizabeth, Kelly, Emily, Oscar, and the rest of the team

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? 

Yes, I’ll chip in.

    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!

    All are welcome - students, workers, alumni, and community members! We'll be meeting at 12pm for a rally to demand affordability, freedom, and safety at our school. Bring your own signs!
