We’re preparing for another four years of Trump

Pamela , we need you with us 
 
 
 

Pamela,

As we prepare for another four years of Trump, and an administration that is bent on rolling back freedoms and attacking our democracy, this team is ready.

Throughout the election, we organized, volunteered, and used our voices at the ballot box — and that work doesn't end here.

Our work to fight for our voting rights is more important than ever. We need to be prepared for legislation that attempts to threaten those rights at the state and federal level. That means keeping an eye on the Georgia State Election Board, and pushing our leaders to protect voting rights, fight back against disinformation, and ensure every vote is counted.

We need you in this fight, Pamela. Let us know that you're ready to help us resist attempts to prevent free and fair elections — chip in a gift now of $30.

If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically:

Fair Fight is a national leader in the fight for voting rights and democracy, and we know that our work helped shape our futures in previous elections. We've faced Trump and his MAGA-loyalists before, and we refuse to back down from the challenges that will come our way. 

We're shifting into resistance preparation mode, so we can fight voter suppression wherever and whenever it occurs — and we need this team with us every step of the way.

This is our democracy, and we all have a role in the fight to defend it. Your gift today can help.

Thank you for fighting with us.

Thanks for all you did.

Take a look at our 2024 Election Program reportback...

Dear MoveOn member,

While the presidential results didn't go our way, and we are taking stock of how to adjust our strategy, we know that the work that we did together played pivotal roles in the victories of key U.S. Senate races, U.S. House races, and abortion access ballot measures.

We set out to run an ambitious program to persuade, mobilize, and turn out key voters needed to win the election.

Read our 2024 election program reportback here to see how MoveOn leveraged our strength in millions of members, and innovative and precise data targeting to scale our work in the field, on the digital airwaves, and in the press.

Here are our top 10 contributions this election cycle:

At the outset of our program, we set out to engage 1.5 million targeted voters in key House and Senate races, as well as states important to the presidential election. 

We won 38 of our endorsed races (thus far), flipping four Republican-held seats in the House, helped curb abortion bans by supporting ballot measures protecting reproductive freedom in Nevada and Arizona, and defeated MAGA Republicans in the Arizona, Nevada, and Wisconsin U.S. Senate races.

None of this would have been possible without the massive community of more than 15,000 powerful progressive organizers, whom we call "MoveOn Vote Mobilizers." These volunteers powered our election program by leading more than 500 events geared toward building community and by talking to key voters across the country.

Take a look at a snapshot of our collective contributions here.

Our election program was centered around our ability to turn out "surge voters"—newer and infrequent voters who participated in one out of the last three elections (2022, 2020, 2018). Using our data-driven and scientific approach, we built machine learning models that helped us identify how to scale our volunteer base, reach surge voters, and identify where to drive impactful campaign interventions.

Surge voters, due to their infrequent nature of participation, need additional encouragement to turn out. We strategized how to persuade these voters by reaching them directly via voter contact methods three times and layering those attempts with targeted ads and earned-media campaigns. 

Thanks to our powerful progressive community, our campaign reached out more than 4.2 million times to our voter universe and generated more than 390,000 voting reminders through phone calls, texts, postcards, and community canvassing.

Learn more about our work with surge voters here.

As a key thought leader in the progressive ecosystem, we sought to directly influence national narratives about the election through paid and earned media campaigns. We landed on 12,000 publications in 35 states this election cycle, combatting Republican narratives in key geographies. We also launched a seven-figure ad spend, running message-tested persuasive ads in battleground states that reached 1.6 million surge voters. We partnered with influencers such as Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, to launch the national Scoop the Vote tour, which generated 20,000 voting reminders. 

By layering our contacts with direct voter contact, as well as paid and earned media, we made a concerted effort to connect with these surge voters intentionally. 

Lastly, we saw it as important to throw down in battles against abortion bans. We supported ballot measure campaigns in Florida, Nevada, and Arizona that fought back against abortion bans. We saw all abortion access ballot measure campaigns run ahead of both presidential candidates, and in Nevada and Arizona we helped curb abortion bans by helping pass their respective ballot measures. In support of abortion access amendments, we ran phone banks and paid ads reaching more than 4 million voters in these states. 

Find out about our paid, earned, and abortion access campaigns here.

While the fight ahead continues to take shape, know that MoveOn isn't going anywhere, and we will continue to funnel, nurture, and engage our new members and volunteers who will be key to defying and pushing back against Trump and MAGA extremists. Together, we'll write and sign petitions, plan events, call our elected officials and hold them accountable, and so much more.

I'm honored to be in this fight alongside the millions of you across the country, doing what we can to create change and protect our communities.

Thanks for all you do. 

–Rahna Epting, Executive Director of MoveOn

California is suing Big Oil. Joe Biden should join them.

This investigation would send shockwaves through the country, and could take on a life of its own, even if Trump will kill the investigation as soon as he steps foot in the Oval Office.

Standing Together on Trans Day of Remembrance 🏳️‍⚧️

Indivisible
**Content Warning: This email discusses death and discrimination against the trans and non-binary community.**

Indivisibles,

Today is the 25th annual Trans Day of Remembrance, a day dedicated to honoring the memory of those whose lives have been lost in acts of anti-transgender hatred and violence. That there is even a need for such an occasion underscores the importance of acknowledging and addressing the systemic injustices faced by the transgender community.

To better understand the gravity of this occasion, consider taking a moment to read Advocates for Trans Equality's annual Remembrance Report. Learn about the history of today, and read the stories of trans people whose remarkable lives were lost too soon -- and who deserve to be remembered fully, with their own names, identities, and stories. When you're done, come back to this email and find out what you can do to make sure there are less and less names on that list each year. 

From Remembrance to Action

Despite representing a small fraction of the population, the trans community has been unjustly targeted by a barrage of misinformation and harmful political rhetoric, especially from Trump and his band of bigoted miscreants. Over 650 anti-trans bills were introduced into state legislatures this year, while Republican campaigns spent more than $215 million on ads that demonize the trans community and anyone who supports them. 

It's important that we recognize these divisive strategies for what they are: attacks on the dignity and rights of individuals simply striving to live as their true selves. 

We know why Trump and other Republican officials push their transphobic agenda -- by scapegoating trans folks and blaming them (and other vulnerable communities) for all of society's problems, corrupt politicians create an "us vs them" mentality meant to focus public resentment on some demonized "other" instead of on the ones who hold the power to create meaningful change. 

However, despite the absolute deluge of attacks on trans rights, the power of local activism has proven incredibly effective in pushing back and smacking down harmful legislation. Across the nation, grassroots movements have successfully countered state-level legislation aimed at eroding the rights and dignity of trans and non-binary people. 

For example, activists in South Dakota successfully defeated a bill in 2021 that would have banned transgender athletes from competing in school sports. In Kentucky, advocates have worked tirelessly for years to get conversion therapy banned in their state -- and it finally happened this September, signed into law by Gov. Andy Beshear.

These victories exemplify the crucial role that allies and progressive voices play in amplifying support for the trans community and pushing back against efforts to legislate them out of existence.

So, what can you do to fight for the trans community in the fraught times ahead? 

  • Donate to organizations like Advocates for Trans Equality (A4TE). Formerly 2 separate entities, A4TE is the organization that was formed when the Trans Legal Defense Fund and the National Center for Trans Equality merged earlier this year. These were 2 of the largest trans rights organizations in the country, and they've now combined their efforts in an attempt to double the collective power and influence of their organizations. A4TE will continue to push back against draconian attempts to legislate trans rights, and it is more important than ever to make sure they have the support and funding they need. 
  • Read the new Indivisible Guide.  Whether you live in a blue, red, or purple state, your strategies for protecting vulnerable communities and pushing back against harmful legislation are contained inside. 
  • Check out our new toolkit, "Democrats Safeguarding Democracy: A Blueprint for Blue States". Even in blue states, there is more to be done to protect LGBTQ+ individuals, especially trans people, and to Trump-proof our communities ahead of a second Trump term. Now is the time for bold action. If you're in one of the 15 Democratic trifectas, write to your governor today to demand stronger protections for the LGBTQ+ community and decisive measures to fight back against Trump, MAGA, and their dangerous agenda.
  • Join an Indivisible group, or start your own. There is always strength in numbers. By collaborating with other local organizers, you amplify the impact of your efforts. There is an Indivisible group in every state and almost every congressional district. Find yours today, or start one in your area. 
  • If you are already part of an Indivisible group taking on anti-trans legislation, talk to your organizer about what grants we have available to support this work or email supportteam@indivisible.org. We know that organizing campaigns against this kind of legislation takes time, planning, and resources. Our GROW Grants program can provide financial support for your grassroots lobbying efforts. With your turf organizer and fellow Indivisibles, plan out what supplies, communications tools, and general expenses you will need in order to effectively combat this harmful legislation at your state capitol. Then, research GROW Grant rules, and apply for a grant to cover those costs.**

Lastly, let this day be a reminder to reach out to the trans and non-binary people in our lives -- to check on them, support them, and affirm our unwavering commitment to their safety and rights. The fight for equality and protection is far from over, but together, we stand indivisible in our resolve to safeguard the dignity and humanity of all individuals, regardless of gender identity.

In solidarity, 
Indivisible Team

** PLEASE NOTE: Every state has different lobbying laws and reporting requirements for legislative advocacy, so please familiarize yourself with your state's lobbying rules and ensure you are/would be spending below the reporting threshold for a nonprofit advocacy group.
