Move On – September 30, 2024

Posted on September 30, 2024

With only 35 days until Election Day and early voting already underway, now is the time to make sure voters know exactly what’s at stake this November.

Dear MoveOn member,

According to a NBC News poll, half of registered voters plan to vote early in this election.1 With early voting underway, voters are already making their voices heard on what direction our democracy will go in November. Over the next couple of weeks, more crucial battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina, will kick off early voting. Now’s the time to rally behind Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz and make sure these voters show their support early and lock in their votes!

MoveOn is hosting multiple phone banks every week to contact key voters in battleground states who need our outreach to turn out this November. These voters likely already support Vice President Harris but may need an extra nudge to get motivated to vote this election. Your conversations with these voters could swing the election outcome to win a Harris-Walz presidency and other down-ballot victories! 

Will you join MoveOn’s virtual phone bank this Thursday at 6 p.m. ET (5 CT/4 MT/3 PT) to call voters across the country? Our staff will walk you through a short training and will be available to support you the whole way through. We’ll also be making calls this Saturday at 2 p.m. ET (1 CT/12 MT/11 PT)!

This November is a pivotal moment for our democracy, and we must fight with everything we can to shape our future. Every call you make to an undecided voter can inspire someone else to take action and fight for the issues that matter, including bodily autonomy, climate justice, and economic equality for all. Trump’s policies and agenda have sown division and undermined our democracy, but through personal conversations with voters, we can counter his dangerous narratives and ensure voters know that Vice President Harris has a plan for our future (not just a “concept of a plan”!).

Whether you’re a pro dialer or a first-timer at our phone banks, you’ll see firsthand the impact our conversations can have in motivating key voters. Instead of doomscrolling or fretting about the latest headlines (we know, we’ve been there too), we have the opportunity to take our future into our own hands by making sure everyone’s voices are heard at the polls this November. Can we count on you to make sure Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz have the support they need to win?

Trump’s divisive rhetoric and Project 2025 agenda have no place in our future. But in order to defeat him, we need to show up and make sure every voter has the facts about what’s at stake this November. With early voting already underway, voters are making their choices right now on which future our country will have. Together, we can make sure Vice President Harris has the early momentum and support she needs to defeat Trump and build a future in which everyone can thrive.

RSVP now to join Thursday and/or Saturday’s phone bank! Be part of the critical fight to protect our progress and freedoms.

Thanks for all you do.

–Mia, Emma, Durrel, Ugbaad, and the rest of the team 

P.S. Can’t join us this week? You can check out all of our upcoming phone banks from now through Election Day here!

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.

Mike Lindell Declares Victory After Crushing Trial DefeatStory by Nikki McCann Ramirez and Asawin Suebsaeng, Rolling StoneOn Monday evening, MyPillow CEO and Donald Trump ally Mike Lindell texted Rolling Stone: "Awesome win! MyPillow 100% innocent!!!!"It was an odd moment to be taking a victory lap. Moments earlier, a jury ruled that Lindell had defamed a former Dominion Voting Systems executive named Eric Coomer on two occasions, including by calling him a traitor, and ordered Lindell to fork over $2.3 million in damages. Why was Lindell reveling in supposed victory? Presumably because the jury damages awarded to Coomer were significantly less than the $26.7 million sought by his attorneys.In his text to Rolling Stone, Lindell added that he planned to appeal the ruling, declaring: "My fight to get rid of the machines will continue on stronger than ever!"As previously reported by Rolling Stone, Lindell had seemed almost giddy to make his case in court ahead of the trial. "Of course I'm gonna testify at my own trial!" he said earlier this month. "I have nothing to hide. I am a former crack addict; I've always been open about that. I've always been open about everything! I'm as transparent as they come." Lindell did testify in his own defense, telling the jury that he didn't knowingly defame Coomer when he accused the Dominion director of being a traitor, while boosting wild conspiracy theories insinuating that Coomer had been involved in efforts by his employer to rig the 2020 election against President Donald Trump. (There is no evidence of any such plot.)While Lindell may be celebrating only being slapped with a seven figure damages penalty in this case, Coomer's lawsuit is the first in a series of defamation claims against the MAGA pillow magnate, related to his claims about the 2020 election. Lindell has also been sued directly by Dominion and by Smartmatic, another election hardware and software company about which Lindell made wild claims.Dominion is seeking $1.3 billion in damages from Lindell, Smartmatic has left the amount up to the judge. But it's safe to say that Lindell is nowhere close to being out of the woods. ... See MoreSee Less

    In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.

We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

    🚨On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.🚨
