Donald Trump

It's not easy to find the right words for a moment like this.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 

350.org

Pamela -

I'm following up on my message from earlier today with a humble request for your support to help 350.org fight back against Trump's fossil fuel agenda.

We've already seen how disastrous a Trump presidency can be for our country and our planet, and we know that his plans this time around are even worse.

The work to defeat Trump's destruction will take all of us. Will you chip in a donation of any amount to help build the resources needed to protect our climate and fight for a clean energy future?

During Donald Trump's first term, he did everything in his power to reverse the progress our climate movement made to protect our planet from the greed and exploitation of the fossil fuel industry.

Now, we're staring down an even more dangerous road. Trump plans to repeal major climate legislation, remove any protected status rules on federal lands and waters to allow for more drilling and mining, rescind EPA standards, and remove the U.S. once again from the Paris Climate Agreement. And that's only the beginning.

But we refuse to give in to despair. During Trump's first term, 350.org and our allies stood up against his countless attacks on our climate and people. We've shown before that we can stop Donald Trump, together, and we need your support to do it again.

Trump isn't in office just yet, Pamela. We still have time to pressure the Biden administration to make ambitious climate commitments at the upcoming COP29 conference and leave behind a strong climate legacy for our country. But that window is closing fast, and we can't afford to lose out on crucial opportunities to mobilize.

Together, we can fight back against Trump's administration. Will you chip in to support 350.org's work in stopping the Trump administration from sacrificing our climate for financial gain?

CONTRIBUTE $3.50

There's no denying that our work will be an uphill battle with Trump in office.

But our fight will continue, tomorrow, the next day, and the day after that — just as historic movements of change have in the past. This work will take all of us, but together, we will blaze a bright path through this dark day.

With love and hope,

Jeff Ordower

It should come as no great surprise

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

Dear friend,

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they're right.

Today, while the very rich are doing phenomenally well, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. Unbelievably, real, inflation-accounted-for weekly wages for the average American worker are actually lower now than they were 50 years ago.

Today, despite an explosion in technology and worker productivity, many young people will have a worse standard of living than their parents. And many of them worry that Artificial Intelligence and robotics will make a bad situation even worse.

Today, despite spending far more per capita than other countries, we remain the only wealthy nation not to guarantee health care to all as a human right and we pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. We, alone among major countries, cannot even guarantee paid family and medical leave.

Today, despite strong opposition from a majority of Americans, we continue to spend billions funding the extremist Netanyahu government's all out war against the Palestinian people which has led to the horrific humanitarian disaster of mass malnutrition and the starvation of thousands of children.

Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign? Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not.

In the coming weeks and months those of us concerned about grassroots democracy and economic justice need to have some very serious political discussions.

Stay tuned.




👋 Before you go... 👋

As you know, Bernie's campaigns and his work have always been funded by lots and lots of people chipping in what they can, when they can. Together, we revolutionized the way campaigns are funded. You should be very proud of that fact.

When you make a contribution today, we put that donation to work elevating the issues important to working people. It will also help him spark a national conversation about the future of the Democratic Party and where we go from here.

If that work sounds important to you, help Bernie keep it going with a contribution of $27 or whatever you can afford today. Thank you.

Heartbroken

It is a dark day in America.

Dear MoveOn member,

It is a dark day in America. Donald Trump is headed to the White House for a second term.

This outcome is devastating to all of us who have worked so hard to protect our fundamental freedoms and preserve and strengthen our democracy.

MoveOn and our community of millions of members across the country are here with you.

Trump wants all of us, especially the most marginalized and oppressed people in our society to give up. He wants us to be too tired, too angry, and too scared to fight back. He is counting on it.

But with Trump headed back to the White House, it is now more important than ever that we immediately escalate our nationwide efforts to defend communities under attack and fight for our freedoms. We refuse to let Trump take us back.

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. Please turn your outrage into action and rush a generous gift of $9 today. It is an act of resistance against Trump's hateful agenda and helps create the progressive country that the majority of Americans want to see.

Fear. Anger. Confusion. Sadness.

Your fellow MoveOn members understand the range of emotions you're feeling right now. The scenarios running through your head. The reckoning of how this second Donald Trump presidency is going to impact us, our loved ones, our communities, and our country.

Collectively, we're heartbroken. We're outraged. We're taking a moment to grieve and process what comes next.

And at the same time, we're more motivated than ever—because we're on the right side of history. We'll never stop working for a more just, equal, and progressive country. So many Americans reject Trump's extremist views and will work alongside us.

And we've got to start immediately. Because Trump won't waste any time before he starts attacking our communities, punishing dissidents, and rolling back our hard-won rights.

MoveOn was built for moments like this. And that's why MoveOn will be on the front lines of the resistance.

We're clear-eyed about the risks of Trump's second term. We can anticipate that the attacks on our communities and our freedoms will be more dangerous in a second term. But we've prepared for the worst-case outcome—and your generosity will fuel the plan to resist.

We'll organize to stop Project 2025 at every turn.

We'll protect and defend communities targeted and most impacted by a Trump presidency.

And we'll focus on political interventions that protect and defend our democratic systems, including the right to a free and fair election, freedom to protest, as well as defending the most marginalized such as immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community, whom we can anticipate a second Trump administration targeting early.

Let's turn toward each other in this sad and scary moment—and then, drawing from our deep reserve of hope, build the world we want to see. A world of equality and progress. A society that we all deeply deserve.

Please rush your $9 gift to MoveOn today. We have a lot of work ahead of us. But we can do it—together.

–Rahna, Gabi, Cheryl, Isbah, and the rest of the team

Want to support MoveOn's work? Donald Trump and his MAGA allies expect us to give up. But we will not give them what they want. We will never stop working to defend our fundamental freedoms and protect our democracy. MoveOn has been leading the movement against right-wing extremism for 26 years, and we promise you that we will still be here every step of the way forward.

Help cure ballots in battlegrounds

Pamela,

Let's be frank: We're exhausted. Many of us are running on a miniscule amount of sleep. We sprinted to the finish line, doing all we could to defeat MAGA and…lost. It's natural to wake up this morning and maybe feel a little empty, a little disoriented.

But there's still more at stake.

There are close, winnable races in the House and Senate, across the country, that still haven't been called and will decide the balance of power in Congress. 

Senate control has already tipped to Republicans. But, there's a real difference between a one seat Republican majority and a three seat majority (remember when John McCain "saved" Obamacare?). If we can win even one more seat, it could be the exact defense we need against Trump's horrific appointments.

The House is still in play. We don't yet know the fate of the House, and we likely won't have a full picture for a while. We do know that it is going to be incredibly close. If we can flip the House, we hold a bulwark against the MAGA agenda. 

So, we need to make sure every vote is counted. The next few days are going to be a frantic sprint to ensure every Democratic vote is tallied in these razor-thin margins through ballot curing.

What is ballot curing?

In every election, thousands of mail-in ballots are left uncounted because of an error or inconsistency that flags them as invalid (think their signature doesn't match). In an effort to make sure every vote is counted, state and party officials try to track these people down in order to rectify those mistakes, this is referred to as ballot curing. Volunteers often help contact those voters.

Here's where you can get to work on some of the closest outstanding races:

We'll be updating this link with more opportunities as they are organized. And if you live in one of these states, we'll be reaching out with ways you can do this work in-person. 

This has been one of the most tumultuous elections in American history, and we just watched a serial harasser and insurrectionist get elected to the White House, again. Despair is an understandable emotion. 

But Indivisible was born to move us out of despair and into action. 

Our movement began as a means to stop the Trump agenda, we succeeded, and we will do it again. We will come together. We will fight back. We will forge a path forward. 

There's a lot of long-term work to do (see Ezra's earlier email for more on that). But there's a limited window to secure these vital wins. So please, if you're looking for something meaningful to do today, if you want to help build the power we'll need for the fights ahead, help us make sure every vote is counted. 

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

PS -- Join us tonight at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT for a post-election call with Ezra and Leah to talk about what happened, process the results, and begin the work of fighting back.
