Collective action report-back: the new way to rally

We demanded #RealReliefNow and got major attention on Twitter. Can you join us next time?

Dear MoveOn member,

In a world where we have to maintain physical distance, we're all looking for ways that we can use digital spaces to bring us closer together.

That's why, earlier this month, we took action together in an unprecedented way to demand #RealReliefNow for working people in the government's coronavirus response. 

In less than one hour, we were trending #3 on Twitter with an online protest that reached as far and as wide as any protest we've organized in person. 

This massive Twitter rally took place in the pivotal days before the Democrats released an expansive bill that put people first, pushing forward critical voices that helped shape the HEROES Act, which included protections for essential workers, student debt relief, investments to protect jobs, direct financial support, and so much more. 

Interested in joining our next Twitter rally? This works only when many of us work together, and we need as many of us raising our voices at once! Text TWEET to 668366 and we'll let you know about the next opportunity to join a collective action with people all across the country.

Joining an online rally is safe and simple. That's why more than 41,000 MoveOn members who are active Twitter users were invited to join this Twitter rally to demand #RealReliefNow and got this campaign to trend.

Together, we tweeted our members of Congress directly, shared what people-centered relief would look like in our communities, and called out Trump and the GOP for continuing to send billions of dollars to corporations and the wealthy. We know that members of Congress heard us—and that millions of folks around the country heard and shared these messages.

Your tweets became your protest signs, your stories were shared, and, together, we demanded real relief that serves people, not corporations.

There will be other critical moments when we need to amplify our voices. Join our next Twitter action: Text TWEET to 668366 to receive mobile notifications and tweet in collective actions with people all across the country. 

Even when we need to be physically apart, by gathering digitally, we can still unite and be heard, and when we act together, we are powerful.

Let's keep finding ways to act together, even when we're apart. 

Thanks for all you do.

—Kate, Sana, Mohammad, Thad, and the rest of the team
