Dear MoveOn member,
It is a scary time for our country. Just like you, we are horrified by the recent acts of political violence that have claimed the lives of Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and others from across the political spectrum.
History shows us that political violence only leads to more political violence. And at MoveOn, we have believed—and always will believe—that we must settle political disputes through debate and at the ballot box, never through violence.
Right now, our country desperately needs elected leaders who will bring all of us together for the sake of our democracy.
Instead of being the leader we need, Donald Trump is using this moment to launch an attack on free speech.
Trump is weaponizing this tragedy to try to shut down his political opponents, potentially including groups like MoveOn.
Let's be crystal clear: Politically motivated violence in all forms is tragic and heinous.
The routine threats of violence toward people of all political backgrounds is an affront to MoveOn's values.
And we need leadership that deeply embodies the same, but Trump is recklessly throwing gasoline on the fire.
We will not allow Trump to turn Kirk's murder into a mass silencing of the 75 million Americans who did not vote for him, and we will not be deterred by Trump's threats. We must use this moment to bolster our power to fight back, be prepared to support others who have our backs, and make our voices even louder through peaceful protests, including the upcoming No Kings events on October 18.
Will you rush a $9 donation to help MoveOn prepare to fight back against Trump administration's attacks on progressive organizations? (If you have saved your payment information with ActBlue, your donation will go straight through.)
It was clear in the first moments following Kirk's death that Trump and his MAGA movement planned to use the murder to attack his opponents.
We know from history that Trump and his administration are more likely to succeed if we stay silent.
We refuse.
MoveOn is not backing down from our core mission—providing a voice to everyday Americans who want to make our country and our world better. We need to mobilize to protect our rights to free speech and political dissent. We are built for this moment and are committed to ensuring that our millions of members are not intimidated into silence and compliance, and we hope you stand with us.
Will you donate $9 to help defend MoveOn from Trump's attacks on free speech? (If you have saved your payment information with ActBlue, your donation will go straight through.)
We're in this together. Thanks for all you do.
