30 seconds to help fight GOP voter suppression?

In the hours immediately following the violent, white supremacist Capitol insurrection, 139 GOP House members voted to overturn the 2020 election, and now those Republicans, along with the MAGA candidates who dominated this year's Republican primaries, are poised to take over the House—unless we stop them. Dear MoveOn member, In the hours immediately following the violent, white supremacist Capitol insurrection, 139 GOP House members voted to overturn the 2020 election, and now those Republicans, along with the MAGA candidates who dominated this year's Republican primaries, are poised to take over the House—unless we stop them.1 And it's truly up to us. Democracy is not a spectator sport. And, to be frank, history and the odds are not in our favor. The major political forecasts all predict that Republicans will take over the House this November.2,3,4 The most well-respected forecast gives Republicans a 78% chance.5 But Republicans have wildly overreached, and we can defy the odds and beat them, if we come together. Just think about how voters overwhelmingly defeated the GOP attempt to strip the right to abortion from the state constitution in deep-red Kansas. That's why MoveOn is running the largest midterm election campaign in our 23-year history. We're pairing our cutting-edge digital tools with on-the-ground organizing to turn out the precise voters we need to win in November: young people and people of color who voted for the first time in 2018 and 2020 but who now face even worse GOP voter suppression laws and may not vote this year. But, as a grassroots organization, our resources come from people like you chipping in whatever they can. And we need your help. Will you chip in $3 a week to stop MAGA Republicans from taking over Congress this November and throwing our country into complete chaos? (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.]( We're living through a terrifying and highly uncertain time. American democracy is on a knife's edge, teetering dangerously close to authoritarianism. The 139 House Republicans who voted on January 6 to overturn the election rejected the core tenets of our democracy—that elections are decided by the voters and that power is transferred peacefully—in the aftermath of a deadly attempted coup. Think about that. And a year and a half later, these Republicans have been only further radicalized. They have been clear about their intentions if they take over Congress, and we know all too well that they will not hold back. They will impeach President Joe Biden, attempt to throw the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump or his MAGA successor, ban abortion nationwide, and more.6,7,8 And their disregard for democracy and blind allegiance to Trump and the MAGA movement will throw our country into chaos like we've never seen before. We can stop them, {NAME}. Yes, we can. And we absolutely must. But it's going to take each and every one of us. Are you in? If so, please, start a $3 weekly donation to power this essential work through November. (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.)
