Dear MoveOn member,
The New York Times editorial board wrote powerfully on Sunday, "Donald Trump says he will prosecute his enemies, order mass deportations, use soldiers against citizens, abandon allies, play politics with disasters. Believe him."1
And then the paper used Trump's own words to outline his dangerous plans in each of these areas, repeating each time, "Believe him."
And we must, because we know the MAGA Supreme Court won't stop Trump. Remember, the Supreme Court ruled this year that Trump can't be prosecuted for crimes he commits in his role as president.2
And we know that the staff who held Trump in check to an extent in his first term have abandoned him, are sounding the alarms about how dangerous he is, and have been replaced by MAGA die-hards who are Trump sycophants and will always put him above country.3
So, yes, we believe Trump. And that's why in these final six days before the election, we MUST do everything possible to get every left-leaning voter in the battleground states to the polls. Millions of these infrequent voters risk not casting their vote.
Today, as first reported by CNN, MoveOn launched a powerful new ad on the economy—the No. 1 issue in this election—with two partner organizations, the Working Families Party and Future Forward.4 It's our closing argument and makes the final case that Vice President Kamala Harris is on the side of working people, while Trump certainly is not.
The ad is airing in all seven battleground states and is targeting late-deciding, less political, working-class voters—as well as third-party curious voters—on streaming services and YouTube. It's a very large ad buy, because we're leaving everything on the field.
Against the backdrop of powerful images, the new ad reads:
"Most of us work hard to care for the people we love and build a better life.
But corporations are making record profits, getting richer off our backs, while we work harder.
Kamala Harris will make sure we keep more of what we earn–cracking down on price gouging, lowering the cost of housing and prescription drugs, and making the rich pay their fair share in taxes.
Vote Kamala Harris. She's with us. Not with them."
And it closes with an image of Trump and his billionaire buddy Elon Musk.
Before launching the ad, we tested it to voters in our target audiences, and it performed EXTREMELY well across EVERY demographic in each swing state.
Let's believe Trump. We know he cares only about himself, his money, and his power.
We care about each other, freedom, justice, democracy, and building a better future where everyone can thrive. And we CAN win this election. But to do it, none of us can sit on the sidelines. It's going to take every single one of us giving it all we can.
We're in this together, always. Thanks for all you do.
–Britt, Allie, Tes, Jensine, and the rest of the team
P.S. Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé are reminding their friends and family to vote, and we need voters in key battleground states to join them! RSVP now to call Harris-Walz supporters and ask them to triple their impact by reminding people to vote.

Want to support MoveOn? The MAGA right is declaring war, and Project 2025 is their battle plan. Project 2025 threatens our rights, attacks communities of color, hurts middle- and working-class families, and undermines our democracy. But we will not back down or let Trump steamroll our nation.
Will you donate to power MoveOn's election plan, stop Trump, and ensure Project 2025 is never enacted?
