Today, we're kicking off celebrating 25 years of MoveOnâand the progressive action and victories achieved by MoveOn's millions of members over that time. Dear MoveOn member, Today, we're kicking off celebrating 25 years of MoveOnâand the progressive action and victories achieved by MoveOn's millions of members over that time. For 25 years, MoveOn has been a people-powered force for progress. Together, MoveOn members have built independent political power, bringing millions of people together to take action and mobilize for a just society for allâexpanding health care, fighting the climate crisis, defeating Donald Trump, and so much more. {NAME}, thank you! We'll admit that the world has changed a lot since our founding in 1998! But one thing remains unchanged: MoveOn continues to be a critically powerful leader of the progressive movement. [Make a $3 gift to celebrate our quarter century of people-powered progress. Every gift sends a powerful message that MoveOn members are ready to keep fighting for a progressive, just, equitable future.]( MoveOn members are the heart and soul of the progressive movement. YOU are MoveOn, and your support has powered some of the most urgent fights of our lifetimes over the past 25 years. We have changed the way people change our world for the betterâmaking civic engagement accessible to everyday Americans. - Years before Airbnb, 30,000 MoveOn members used an innovative, crowdsourced housing system built by MoveOn to house Hurricane Katrina evacuees.Â
- Our 2004 volunteer-based precinct field program was the first of its kind on a presidential scale, a precursor to the model adopted by the Obama campaign in 2008.Â
- Using MoveOn's groundbreaking digital technology, members took action at an unprecedented national scale with tools that had never been available freely beforeâlike online phone banks, online petitions, online signup for distributed national events, and peer-to-peer text messaging. MoveOn members have been a bulwark against the radical right. - MoveOn members mobilized millions of people to oppose the Iraq War.Â
- MoveOn members blocked the privatization of Social Security by George W. Bush and successfully fought to protect the Affordable Care Act from GOP attacks in 2017.Â
- MoveOn was one of the first national organizations to call for Trump's impeachment and became instrumental in paving the way toward his first impeachment in 2019âand again in 2021. Â MoveOn members have shown care for one another and society through mutual aid programs. - Staff built a hub that helped MoveOn members move crucial material donations to activists during the Occupy Wall Street movement.Â
- MoveOn members raised millions of dollars for Hurricane Maria relief, humanitarian efforts in Ukraine, the Movement for Black Lives, and the National Bail Fund.Â
- MoveOn members crowdsourced a resource hub to help each other navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, using peer-to-peer texting to spread the word. MoveOn members mobilized millions to defend democracy, elect Democrats, and enact progressive change. - We've made impactful, defining endorsements in Democratic primaries, helping elect candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Stacey Abrams, and Maxwell Frost, among others who are committed to fighting for the best interests of our members.
- We helped elect the most diverse House of Representatives in U.S. history in 2018, including raising $1 million for Black women candidates.
- We've raised $410 million to elect progressive champions and defeat the radical right. All of these achievements have been the result of individual actions assembled at a massive scaleâturbocharging our grassroots people power to enable us all to have impact together that we never could have had alone. Whether it was making hundreds of thousands of calls to pass the Affordable Care Act or to stop its repeal, making hundreds of thousands of voter contacts in key elections, turning hundreds of thousands of folks into the streets to oppose the Iraq War, or building decisive resistance to Trump, we have achieved a profound breadth and depth of impactâall powered, executed, and funded by individual members committed to the common good. [We've achieved so much togetherâand we've done it our way, powered by grassroots donations. Can you make a $3 gift to advance our progress for the next 25 years?]( A quarter century later, our fight for democracy and our freedoms hasn't stopped. Authoritarianism and white nationalism continue to threaten our democracy and everything we've fought for. Big corporate interests are still working overtime to drown out the voices of everyday people. Economic inequality is growing and shows no signs of slowing down. Republicans have rigged the system to allow unpopular, extremist policies that threaten our reproductive rights, our voting rights, and the rights of historically underserved populations, including LGBTQ+, Black, and brown communities. That's why MoveOn must continue to be flexible, bold, and ready for the long haul. Your support powers our innovative work. It fuels powerful campaigns. It funds the work to build a multiracial democracy that works for all. It makes lasting change. [If you're with us in this fight, will you make a gift of $3 today in honor of our 25th anniversary and help us build on this work? Together, we'll continue to show the power of our movement in 2024âand for decades to come.]( Thank you for all you do! âRahna Epting, MoveOn Executive Director Want to support MoveOn's work? Voters just defied history and stopped a MAGA wave of extremism at the polls. But there is more work to do to end the filibuster, codify abortion rights into law, and defend our freedoms, our families, and our futures. We can accomplish all this and more, but only if we work together. Will you chip in right now to power our critical work?
