Dear MoveOn member,
MoveOn has been in the headlines recently for taking action against a rising threat that could reelect Trump in 2024—a group called "No Labels."
In fact, our Executive Director Rahna Epting was on the podcast "Pod Save America" earlier this week to sound the alarm!1
No Labels has become such a threat that three weeks ago we took the unprecedented step of sending a letter to every secretary of state and election board in America asking them to investigate No Labels because the organization was caught potentially lying to voters in Maine.2
We wrote, "We are writing to inform you about our grave concern about the activities of a political organization called 'No Labels' that may be operating in your state and has been flagged by another state election official for potentially misleading voters."
No Labels is a corporate dark-money operation that is attempting to put a third-party ticket on the ballot in 2024. Disguising themselves as a group of "moderates," they are actually funded by right-wing corporate donors like Harlan Crow, the collector of Nazi memorabilia and funder of Clarence Thomas's extravagant lifestyle.3
On Monday, they held a town hall in New Hampshire, rolling out details of their plan—which focuses on the blue states and swing states that Biden needs to win and would take twice as many Electoral College votes from Biden than it would take from Trump.4,5
Plain and simple, because there is no path to victory for their ticket, their strategy is to rob Biden of a second term and ensure a Trump victory. They know it, and we know it.
And that is why what started as a small project at MoveOn has now moved into the top tier of our work for holding the White House in 2024.
It is also why we're writing to ask you to start a $5 monthly donation today to ensure we have the consistent resources we will need to stop No Labels. If No Labels succeeds in placing a third-party ticket on the presidential ballot, it will become almost impossible for us to keep Trump out of the White House in 2024.
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
In short, we simply can't emphasize enough what a threat No Labels is to our country and how hard we must now work to stop them.
In fact, private polling just released by a bipartisan group, led by former House Democratic leader Dick Gephardt, shows No Labels pulling substantially more votes from Biden than from Trump.6
And, as you know, Trump back in the White House puts all of America at risk, especially the Black, Latino, Muslim, and LGBTQ+ communities who are already under daily assault.
Only a concerted effort by a coalition of groups committed to keeping Trump and MAGA extremists out of the White House will build the pressure needed to stop them in their tracks.
And all of that starts with you.
Will you please start a $5 monthly donation today? This third-party bid will put Trump back in the White House (or DeSantis if Trump falters). If they get their candidate on the ballot, our 2024 efforts will become much, much, much more expensive. Please give generously today.
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Book bans have skyrocketed thanks to right-wing state laws which have forced teachers to remove books from their classrooms. In response, MoveOn is launching a "Banned Bookmobile," filling it with books that the far right has banned, and driving it around to hand out those books, for free, in highly trafficked areas that will attract media attention. To keep the Banned Bookmobile up and running into 2024, we need your help.
