Dear MoveOn member,
I'm Rahna Epting, MoveOn's executive director. I've been here for over three years, and I rarely write to you with a request. But today, I need to.
And the request is big, so please hear me out.
I realize that in every election cycle, political leaders say, "This is the most important election of our lifetime." I am not going to say that. But I am going to say, if we don't get 2022 right, 2024 may become the most dangerous election of our lifetime.
Because, if we lose this November, Donald Trump will have in place what he needs to launch a full-scale attack on our democracy. From secretary of state races to the U.S. Senate, Trump and his allies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to ensure they have the election deniers they need, where they need them, to put him back in the White House in 2024. By vote … or by coup.
And here's where the request comes in: I need you to help us raise a million dollars this month. Yes—a million dollars by the end of October.
Wait, don't get discouraged or think it's impossible! MoveOn is a community many millions strong. If just 1% of us donate $10, we'll hit the goal!
Just 1% of us at $3 a week. I believe we can do it together. I KNOW we can.
So, will you help us raise $1 million by the end of October? Will you give $3 to help us beat back Trump in 2022, so we can make sure that 2024 is not the most dangerous election of our lifetime?
And when I say I believe we can do this together ... that I know we can do this together ... I say that because I have seen our power in action.
From mobilizing voters in 2018 and 2020 to stop Trump in his tracks. From helping end the war in Iraq by electing Democrats who would stand up to George W. Bush. From electing Barack Obama to helping him pass the Affordable Care Act which provided health care to millions of Black, brown, LGBTQ+, and low-income Americans, we—you—have climbed mountains much bigger than a million dollars.
But this is the mountain we must climb today. And we can climb it only if we climb it together.
We don't have corporate backers writing million-dollar checks. We don't have dark-money PACs willing to funnel seven-figure sums our way (nor would we want them).
We have us. Millions of us. And I am asking because this is the wrong time to come up short.
I need you to dig deep today and make a donation of any size. Give at a level that feels good and that feels impactful. A level that helps us make sure 2022 does not lay the groundwork for the most dangerous election cycle in our lifetime.
Please, chip in $3 today, or whatever you can afford, to help us meet our $1 million need by the end of October. I know we can climb this mountain together, if each of us does our small piece.
Yes, I'll do my part.
Thanks for all you do.
–Rahna Epting, MoveOn Executive Director
