Dear MoveOn member,
Big announcement: Today, MoveOn is launching a major campaign to help stop Donald Trump from rigging the next election before a single vote is cast.
Yes, that means we're going all-in to help pass California's Prop 50, the Election Rigging Response Act, on the ballot this fall. California MoveOn members overwhelmingly voted this month in favor of MoveOn's endorsing and campaigning for Prop 50.
Trump and Republicans have made an unprecedented power grab to steal enough seats to control Congress regardless of how the people vote. Already, the Texas Legislature even more egregiously gerrymandered their congressional districts to steal five Democratic seats.1 And then on Friday, Republicans in Missouri followed suit, passing new maps that further dilute the voices of Black voters.2
If we don't fight back, Trump and Republicans will get away with it—setting the stage for full-throated authoritarianism in America.
Here's the thing: MoveOn has A LOT of members in California. Nearly 1 million! That's a ton of people to educate, organize to get the word out to their friends and family, and cast their votes.
But MoveOn didn't budget for this fight, because we never imagined Trump would go this far to rig our elections. We're facing a $200,000 shortfall for the resources we need to win.
Andra, will you rush a $9 donation to MoveOn now to help pass Prop 50 and stop Trump and Republicans from stealing the 2026 elections? (If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.)
When Trump tries to rig elections, we must fight back with every legal tool available.
Prop 50 draws fair maps that represent California's diverse communities and ensures our voices aren't silenced by Republican gerrymandering in other states.
The new maps, if passed by California voters in November, would be temporary: After the 2030 census, the state will return to nonpartisan congressional maps.3
But billionaire Charles Munger Jr., a massive Republican Party donor, has already donated a jaw-dropping $30 million to stop Prop 50, and voters are being flooded with Republican disinformation about the ballot initiative.4
We must act—and quickly. But we have little time: California will mail out ballots to all voters on October 6—less than three weeks from now. Which means we have just a matter of days to reach millions of voters before they start to vote.
It's up to us, Andra, to get the truth to voters, convince them to vote for Prop 50, and stop Trump's steal before it's too late.
If you can afford it, rush a $9 donation to MoveOn now to help stop Trump and Republicans from rigging the next election. (If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.)
With your help, MoveOn will ...
-
educate our 700,000 California members about what's at stake,
-
launch large-scale phone banks to reach California voters,
-
run digital ads that cut through the noise to counter Republican disinformation,
-
organize vote tripling—where voters help their friends and family vote—to maximize turnout, and
-
ensure every MoveOn member in California gets multiple reminders to vote.
Andra, we're looking authoritarianism in the face, and the future of our country is in our hands. Let's fight like our futures depend on it—because they do.
Thanks for all you do.
