Dear Andra,
In less than seven months, voters across the nation will head to the polls for the midterm elections, and there is so much at stake; these contests will determine the influence and power Democrats will have over the next two years. The right-wing GOP is currently working to win a majority of the House of Representatives, and they're going to abuse all of their power in order to do so.1 Without control of Congress, it's going to be nearly impossible for Democrats to pass the critical legislation to protect our democracy and ensure its ability to thrive.
Midterm elections often drive lower turnout, which means we need to start building the momentum to mobilize our communities to head to the polls and keep Democrats in power. Historically, the president's party has lost seats during midterms, but we cannot let this happen.2 The first step to winning this election is getting prepared for the work ahead. That's why MoveOn is bringing together members across the country for the Progressive Power Training Series. This series offers an exciting opportunity for you to learn more about your political power and how you can create a lasting impact this election season.
MoveOn is launching this three-part training series, starting May 1, to help all of us increase our impact on both this election cycle and in the longer-term work to fight back against right-wing attacks and build a country where we can all equally enjoy the same freedoms.
The Progressive Power Training Series will help you create a roadmap to use during this pivotal moment for our country and world. In this series, you'll be able to identify:
- Your role in this political moment and in this progressive movement
- Your power to make your voice heard and how to strengthen it
- Your impact as an activist.
Around the nation, GOP-controlled state legislatures and governors have been busy undoing decades of civil and voting rights progress. From anti-abortion legislation to anti-voter laws and attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, it is a decisive moment in our nation.3,4
At the same time, we've seen Democrats at the federal level deliver wins from COVID relief funds to cutting child poverty in half to pausing student loan debt collection.5,6 We have an opportunity to answer these attacks on our democracy and expand these wins by electing progressive champions and building on the work we did together to win the White House and secure a Democratic Congress.
Our rights are on the line this election, and we want to make sure that we're prepared for the fight ahead. This series represents an exciting opportunity for MoveOn members across the nation to come together and build their collective power. We hope to see you there!
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Donald Trump's preparations for being able to steal the presidency in 2024 are well underway and include working to replace top election officials in battleground states with his own loyalists. Which is why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our 23-year history: We're launching a powerful, multimillion-dollar effort to defeat Trump-backed secretaries of state across the country and elect individuals who will count every vote and ensure fair elections.
