Weekend impeachment update

I will keep this email short and to the point: The House of Representatives is expected to vote on the impeachment of Donald Trump just 72 hours from now, and I am asking you to chip in to help fund MoveOn's all-hands-on deck impeachment effort.

Hi, fellow MoveOn member!

I will keep this email short and to the point: The House of Representatives is expected to vote on the impeachment of Donald Trump just 72 hours from now, and I am asking you to chip in $3 to help fund MoveOn's all-hands-on deck impeachment effort.

MoveOn is doing all it can to make sure that the House votes on Wednesday to impeach Trump. Your donation to MoveOn will be put to immediate use to do all this:

  • Turn out protesters in communities across the country the night before the House vote. More than 100,000 people in all 50 states have now signed up to attend rallies on the eve of the House vote to call on Congress to impeach and remove Trump. There's been a huge surge of activism and public support for impeachment over the past few days, and MoveOn needs to keep up the momentum to increase the number of events and the turnout. MoveOn needs to raise enough money to make sure that these protests are seen by millions by promoting them online and through social networks and earned media, to fly in organizers, to rent stages and audio equipment, to print and ship signs and other materials, to do enough press pitches to propel these events to the front pages of local papers, to coordinate with dozens of organizations on the ground, and more.
  • Keep camera crews at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., to confront members of Congress. MoveOn activists have been asking a very simple question of Republicans: Is it OK for a president to solicit help from a foreign government to win an election? Republicans are literally running and hiding to avoid answering this question, so MoveOn is focusing on the Republicans most likely to break with Trump, capturing their responses, featuring it in digital videos, and sharing the videos far and wide to ramp up the pressure they feel.
  • Keep phones ringing off the hook. MoveOn's most efficient way to connect droves of activists to their lawmakers costs about $2 per phone call. It requires dedicated analyst time, payments to MoveOn's call vendor for every single call—which add up quickly—and legal costs, too, because the rules in every state are different. And while there are cheaper ways to connect some (smaller) number of calls, MoveOn simply can't connect anywhere close to this volume of calls any other way. 

This is a historic moment. If you're anything like me, when you think back on this moment years from now, you'll want to be sure that you did everything you could, left no stone unturned, and gave this fight your all.

I'm sending you this email today because I want to do everything I can to support MoveOn's impeachment effort, and the best way that I can do that is by making sure that millions of people around the country get this message and chip in what they can to MoveOn. We need you, Mar.

Please. Chip in $3 now and help fund MoveOn's all-hands-on-deck push to impeach Donald Trump.

Thanks for all you do.
