This is an emergency. The Republican majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee just voted to advance Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Senate floor for a vote.
Dear MoveOn member,
This is an emergency.
The Republican majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee just voted to advance Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Senate floor for a vote.1
And MoveOn members are flooding the streets in protest.
We're not giving up. We can still stop Kavanaugh on the floor of the Senate.
Will you chip in $3 to MoveOn's emergency campaign to stop the GOP from ramming through Brett Kavanaugh's nomination?
[Yes, I'll chip in for this big, final push to stop Brett Kavanaugh.](
It's outrageous. We're at risk of backsliding to 1991, to a brutal and shameful time when Anita Hill, a survivor of sexual harassment, was derided and shut down by the Senate Judiciary Committee during Clarence Thomas' Supreme Court nomination hearing.
Hell, no. We won't let it happen again. Not on our watch. The only person who should get shut down is Kavanaughâwhich is why MoveOn members are sounding an emergency alarm and working around the clock on the ground and across the airwaves to reach Senators Susan Collins, Jeff Flake, and Lisa Murkowski, who are the three GOP senators most likely to vote no on Kavanaugh and bring this nightmare to an end.
There is an emerging glimmer of hope. Republican Senators Flake and Murkowski have requested a one week delay for an FBI investigation. But we do not yet know if this request will be honored. And either way, we must keep fighting on all cylinders.
Twenty-seven years ago, there was no justice for Professor Hill. But there must be justice today. We will not hand a lifetime appointment to our nation's highest court to a sexual predator. We will not go back.
Will you chip in to MoveOn's all-out campaign to stop the GOP from ramming through Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination?
[Yes, I'll chip in and help keep Brett Kavanaugh away from the Supreme Court!](
Yesterday, Dr. Blasey Ford bravely recounted the sexual assault she suffered at the hands of Kavanaugh. And MoveOn members supported her and fought back against the GOP with everything we hadâand we'll continue to do everything we can to make damn sure that a shameful moment in history is not repeated.
MoveOn's team worked through last night. And we will work through the night again tonight:
- Ramping up massive, targeted, rapid-response mobilizations in advance of tomorrow's potential first procedural vote by the full Senate to advance the confirmation;
- Directly supporting and elevating sustained and disruptive tactics in and around the Capitol and Senate buildings, led by women's rights allies and groups of sexual abuse survivors;
- Driving tens of thousands of phone calls to flood Senate offices via email, social media, text messages, and videos. Yesterday alone, MoveOn members made more than 10,000 phone calls;
- Mobilizing voters in key states and districts who will make sure that Republicans pay the price for their morally bankrupt and abusive actions around Kavanaugh's nomination.
[This is one of the defining fights of our generation. Please chip in $3 to MoveOn's emergency campaign to stop Brett Kavanaugh's nomination.](
In the last few days, the political ground has shifted because of massive protests and public outcry, stoked and supported by MoveOn members in every state in the nation, and a monumental movement has arisen amid the agony of what's now happening.
We were not able to block today's Senate Judiciary Committee vote. But we will do everything we can to stop Kavanaugh on the floor of the U.S. Senate. And we will go forward to Election Day, channeling our outrage into electoral wins that will take back our nation's House and Senate from the GOPâa political party willing to give an accused rapist a lifetime seat on the most powerful court in our land.
[Chip in nowâfor the survivors, and so that our daughters and granddaughters grow up in a new and better world we'll help build together.](
Thanks for all you do.

[
MoveOn needs your help, now more than ever. A senior member of Donald Trumpâs own administration wrote in an op-ed that Trump is  "amoral," "petty," âreckless," and "erratic." The author even admitted that the Cabinet considered invoking the 25th Amendment to have him removed—but they didnât, and they wonât. The only way to stop Trump is if we use our people power to fight back at the ballot box and fight for a country that works for all of us. MoveOn is ready to fight. Will you stand with us?
