MoveOn.org Has Devastating Meltdown

 Dear MoveOn member,

It is a dark time in America. Donald Trump is headed to the White House for a second term.

This outcome is devastating to all of us who have worked so hard to protect our fundamental freedoms and preserve and strengthen our democracy.

MoveOn and our community of millions of members across the country are here with you.

Trump wants all of us—especially the most marginalized and oppressed people in our society—to give up. He wants us to be too tired, too angry, and too scared to fight back. He is counting on it.

But with Trump headed back to the White House, it is now more important than ever that we immediately escalate our nationwide efforts to defend communities under attack and fight for our freedoms. We refuse to let Trump take us back.

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. Please turn your outrage into action and start a $5 donation to MoveOn now. It is an act of resistance against Trump's hateful agenda and helps create the progressive country that the majority of Americans want to see.

Yes, I'll chip in monthly.

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.

Fear. Anger. Confusion. Sadness.

Your fellow MoveOn members understand the range of emotions you're feeling right now. The scenarios running through your head. The reckoning of how this second Donald Trump presidency is going to impact us, our loved ones, our communities, and our country.

Collectively, we're heartbroken. We're outraged. We're taking a moment to grieve and process what comes next.

And at the same time, we're more motivated than ever—because we're on the right side of history. We'll never stop working for a more just, equal, and progressive country. So many Americans reject Trump's extremist views and will work alongside us.

And we've got to start immediately. Because Trump won't waste any time before he starts attacking our communities, punishing dissidents, and rolling back our hard-won rights.

MoveOn was built for moments like this. And that's why MoveOn will be on the front lines of the resistance.

We're clear-eyed about the risks of Trump's second term. We can anticipate that the attacks on our communities and our freedoms will be more dangerous in a second term. But we've prepared for the worst-case outcome—and your generosity will fuel the plan to resist.

We'll organize to stop Project 2025 at every turn.

We'll protect and defend communities targeted and most impacted by a Trump presidency.

And we'll focus on political interventions that protect and defend our democratic systems, including the right to a free and fair election, freedom to protest, as well as defending the most marginalized, such as immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community, whom we can anticipate a second Trump administration targeting early.

Let's turn toward each other in this sad and scary moment—and then, drawing from our deep reserve of hope, build the world we want to see. A world of equality and progress. A society that we all deeply deserve.

Please start a monthly gift of $5 now. We have a lot of work ahead of us. But we can do it—together.

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.

Thanks for all you do.

–Rahna, Gabi, Cheryl, Isbah, and the rest of the team
