Did you forget something?

Hey, {NAME}! It looks like you didn't finish your donation to MoveOn yesterday. [We wanted to make sure you had a chance to complete it by clicking here.]( You can also read below for more details. -Kelly, Oscar, Adam, Kathy, and the rest of the Fundraising Team --------------------------------------------------------------- Dear MoveOn member, Alerts on too many of our phones on Wednesday morning looked like this: "Mark Finchem, an adamant election denier and conspiracy theory promoter, won the GOP primary for Arizona's top election post."1 "Trump backed Blake Masters is projected to win the Arizona GOP primary to face Sen. Mark Kelly."2 "Trump backed Tudor Dixon is projected to win the Republican primary to face Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) in November."3 "Rep Peter Meijer, a Republican who voted to impeach Donald Trump, conceded to John Gibbs, a Trump-endorsed far-right challenger."4 "Kris Kobach, the former Kansas secretary of state, won the GOP race. He's made a career out of promoting false election claims."5 Slowly but surely, state by state, Donald Trump is lining up his lackeys across the country to ensure he has the pawns to rig the presidential election in 2024. That's why MoveOn made the unprecedented decision to invest $30 million into the midterms this fall. We knew early on that this year was going to be like no other, and we have been preparing for months to confront it head-on. To turn out exactly the voters who will turn the tide on the primary results of a MAGA Republican Party. The general elections are next, and we can defeat Trump, just as we did in 2020—but only if we come together. That's why we need your help. In order to execute our unprecedented plan (see below) we must have the sustained resources to stop Trump and his acolytes. As his hand-picked marionettes win Republican primary after Republican primary, MoveOn has the plan to stop him. Will you chip in $3 a week to make it all possible? (MoveOn will bill your weekly donation to your credit card once a month starting today and will contact you shortly after the election to see if you want to modify or cancel your weekly donation.) [Count me in.]( [No, I'm sorry, I can't chip in weekly.]( Let's be clear: There's reason for hope, even amid this litany of dark updates from Republican primaries. More and more polls are giving Democrats hope of holding off a red wave.6 Republican obstruction and overreach is backfiring: In Kansas, a state Trump won by 15 points, voters roundly defeated an amendment to the state constitution to deny people bodily autonomy and self-determination and ban abortion, showing the power of abortion access as a motivating issue for voters. Democrats in key races are showing strong grassroots fundraising. And Trump's "MAGA" mentality is alienating swing voters. Our job is to seize these opportunities, make the most of those glimmers of hope, and execute a plan that can mobilize voters to elect progressive champions who will fight for our democracy and defeat Trump's cult-like adherents. Our plan, the largest investment in our 23-year history, is being executed in four phases: - Organize on the ground to build our activist base (ongoing since the beginning of 2022). - Use innovative digital strategies to define our opponents early and rally Democrats and progressives (started months ago). - Blanket carefully targeted states and districts with ads with strategic messaging (testing has begun). - Get our target voters to the polls to defeat Trump's election deniers, insurrectionists, and fake electors (October 1-November 8). Every facet of MoveOn is focused on executing this plan—from our staff members to our state-by-state activists to our millions of members—because we know we need to go all-out to stop Steve Bannon and his dark-money PACs. But we also know that our shared vision of America, where progressive values—that hold up Black and brown voices, that celebrate the humanity of LGBTQ+ youth and people of all ages, that see trans families and disabled people as our strength—will always prevail. All we need to make sure our plan is executed, and Trump is stopped, are the resources. And that's where you, {NAME}, come in. Please, can you start a $3 weekly donation today to show that you support stopping this Trump momentum?
