Hope lies with us

The Supreme Court will not protect us.

Dear MoveOn member, The Supreme Court will not protect us. In a 6-3 decision on Friday, the MAGA-packed Supreme Court took away even more guardrails of our democracy and handed Donald Trump unprecedented new power, ruling that Trump could move forward with his executive order striking down birthright citizenship—despite this right being protected by the 14th Amendment for over 150 years.1 And the implications are sweeping for other Trump executive actions as well. The high court today made it much, much harder to block illegal Trump orders. Trump and his cronies cheered. On the same day, the MAGA Supreme Court ruled that school systems can discriminate against LGBTQ+ people and students by allowing parents to "opt-out" their children from materials that feature LGBTQ+ characters.2 These decisions are not isolated incidents—they represent a coordinated right-wing assault on immigrant rights, LGBTQ+ rights, our democratic principles, and the rule of law. But there is hope. And that hope lies with us. It's up to us to organize, mobilize, and fight back. MoveOn is uniquely positioned to lead this fight, bringing together millions of Americans in every state, every congressional district, and every corner of the country who believe in a just future where everyone can thrive. Our work in the coming days, months, and years starts with pushing back against these harmful decisions. We'll organize millions of Americans to stop Trump's most dangerous proposals and block as much of his agenda as possible. We'll be strategic about the fights we take on, collaborate with organizations across the country, learn from allies worldwide who have fought authoritarian regimes, and think creatively as we face these attacks. This work is essential, but it requires consistent, ongoing resources. We need your support now more than ever to invest in fighting Trump and protecting our rights. Will you start a $5 monthly donation to MoveOn today? Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month. (If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.) No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation. MoveOn was built for this moment. As Robert Reich has said, "MoveOn can reach, train, support, organize, and communicate at a scale that is unparalleled in the progressive movement, and it does so with cutting-edge technology. We need MoveOn in this moment, now more than ever." According to Harvard researchers, no government has maintained legitimacy and power after 3.5% of their population came together to vocalize their dissent against it at a peak event.3 Millions and millions of us in every corner of the country have been in the streets at "Hands Off!" and "No Kings" rallies. But we have to build from here. We can do it, together. And we must. We cannot become a lawless, fascist state run by billionaires for billionaires. We can't, and we won't. Join us by starting a $5 monthly donation right now to fight back against and ultimately end MAGA's tyranny. Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month. (If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.) No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
