Dear MoveOn member,
On Sunday's episode of "Meet the Press," Pat McCrory—North Carolina's right-wing former governor—attacked MoveOn and our members.1
McCrory is the co-chair of a right-wing, billionaire-backed organization called "No Labels." He claimed on "Meet the Press" that "the same people" who fund No Labels also fund MoveOn.2
Baloney.
No Labels is funded by the billionaire friends of Jared Kushner and Clarence Thomas.3 MoveOn is funded by tens of thousands of grassroots donations from members like you. Our average donation is $27.
Below, we will tell you why we believe McCrory and No Labels are attacking MoveOn.
But first, we want to ask for your ongoing support in fighting back against these baseless attacks and stopping No Labels from succeeding in their efforts. Will you chip in $5 a month to keep MoveOn strong and able to fight back while we endure lies from right-wing billionaire-backed groups?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Andra, No Labels is running a $70 million campaign in what they claim to be an effort to run a third-party candidate in the 2024 presidential election.4 But their candidate has no hopes of garnering the 270 electoral votes it will take to actually win. Instead, what No Labels is actually doing is giving voters an illusion of choice that will only swing the election for Donald Trump.
The effort—which is bankrolled by Harlan Crow, the billionaire who has funded Clarence Thomas's lavish lifestyle, and is co-chaired by right-wing Republican politicians—is designed to cut into Joe Biden's share of votes in critical states and hand victory to Trump.5
In short, if No Labels' plan succeeds, Trump will be installed back in the White House.
Which is why MoveOn is on a mission to expose and stop No Labels' despicable plot.6
With their backs against the ropes, No Labels is spewing baseless attacks against MoveOn.
But we won't back down.
Will you start a $5 monthly donation today to help MoveOn fight back against right-wing lies and stop No Labels from handing Trump victory in 2024?
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.
Will you start a monthly gift to power our critical work?
