Dear MoveOn member,
Shame on the U.S. Supreme Court.
In a decision released this morning, the MAGA justices gave Donald Trump a huge gift: They played right into his legal strategy to avoid accountability for attempting to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election.1
The court's decision means that Trump will not be prosecuted for his attempt to overthrow American democracy until after the 2024 presidential election. It could even derail the case entirely.
Andra, justice delayed is justice denied.
A federal appeals court had already ruled unanimously against Trump, calling his actions, in a strongly worded opinion, "an unprecedented assault on the structure of our government."2 But now the Supreme Court's intervention means that, if Trump is reelected this November, he will have the power to direct the Justice Department to drop the charges against him.
One thing is crystal clear: The Supreme Court will not save our democracy or our nation from Trump. In fact, they're openly enabling him.
That's why MoveOn has a powerful campaign to target the key voters in the battleground districts who will decide this election and defeat Trump and his MAGA movement—but our campaign is projected to cost $32 million, and as a grassroots organization, MoveOn needs your help to finance it.
We've kicked off our $32 million plan to reach the millions of voters in battleground states we need to surge to the polls. Will you join our fight and invest in the effort to help save our democracy from Trump, MAGA, and the corrupt Supreme Court? The best way to invest is to start a $5 monthly donation to sustain our efforts from now until Election Day.
I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
It's going to be up to us to save our freedoms and our democracy. And MoveOn has a plan to do so.
In the past, campaigns would target "swing voters"—voters who would vote for Democrats in one election and Republicans in another.
But as our politics have become more divisive and polarized, the number of swing voters has diminished significantly. In other words, there are very few voters who are undecided between President Biden and Trump.
In their place, a different kind of voter has grown more important: one who vacillates not so much between parties or candidates but between voting and not voting.
A "nonvoter" can transform into a voter at any time—and if most of them break in the same direction, their decision to participate can be decisive.
And here's the important part: MoveOn knows exactly how to turn out these exact voters in November.
For months, MoveOn's data science team has been crunching the numbers. And our crack data scientists have identified 1.5 million "surge" voters—Democratic-leaning voters who don't regularly vote—in battleground states, who will make the difference between winning and losing this November.
If these voters show up tho the polls, President Biden will win and Trump will lose. It's all about turnout, turnout, turnout.
That's why MoveOn will contact these surge voters through postcards, targeted ads, text messages, phone-banking, and more to tell them about the terrible policies that Trump plans to implement and that we know those voters disagree with.
Then, as the election nears in the fall, we will kick our get-out-the-vote operation into high gear with our "vote tripling" program. Vote tripling is an evidence-based tactic grounded in relational organizing—the idea that people are much more likely to listen to their friends and social networks than anonymous ads and outreach. Relational organizing has been proven to be the absolute best way, by orders of magnitude, to not only inform people but turn them into likely voters who will show up on Election Day.
Will you help power our game-changing election work by starting a $5 monthly donation?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? The MAGA movement's book bans have forced teachers and librarians across the country to remove books from their shelves and censor what young people can learn. MoveOn is fighting back, including by filling a "Banned Bookmobile" with books that the far right has banned and driving it to key cities and towns to raise the visibility of book bans, hand out banned books for free, and bring people together to stop censorship. To keep up the fight against book bans and the MAGA politicians who support them, we need your help.
Will you start a monthly gift to power and sustain MoveOn's critical work?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
