Dear MoveOn member,
Though voting is already underway, Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the GOP have vowed to steal Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat and to install yet another right-wing extremist judge on the Supreme Court.
Not without a fight, they won't!
MoveOn and our allies have launched a colossal, nationwide grassroots campaign to protect Justice Ginsburg's legacy and to save the Supreme Court—and over a million people have already taken action.
Mar, Republican senators MUST listen to us now. But if they don't, rest assured that we'll get their attention at the ballot box.
From the beginning, Ruth Bader Ginsburg shattered glass ceilings. As one of only a handful of women in her law school, Ginsburg faced rampant sexism. But she persisted—and graduated at the top of her class.
As a young lawyer with impeccable credentials and sterling recommendations, she was rejected from a Supreme Court clerkship because of her gender. And when she was hired as a law professor—one of the first 20 women in our nation's history to achieve that feat—she was informed she would be paid less than her male colleagues.
But Ginsburg didn't agonize. She organized.
Ginsburg founded the Women's Rights Project at the ACLU, argued several cases before the Supreme Court, and pioneered the groundbreaking legal argument that convinced the Supreme Court to strike down a law based on gender discrimination for the first time in U.S. history.
She went on to earn herself a coveted spot on a federal appeals court, and later, she became only the second woman ever to serve on the United States Supreme Court. There, she earned a reputation for her fierce support for gender equality, access to abortion, rights for immigrants, and so much more.
For decades, Justice Ginsburg carried the torch of justice. Now, it's our turn to carry forward that legacy.
Already, more than ONE MILLION MoveOn members have signed a petition urging the Senate not to fill Justice Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat until after the next president is inaugurated. And thousands of MoveOn members have flooded their senators with more than 35,000 phone calls to demand the same.
Just as it did when we successfully saved the Affordable Care Act, the massive grassroots pressure from MoveOn members and allies can help us win this fight too.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support our work? As Robert Reich says, "No organization in America has a better track record of success in developing cutting-edge strategies to get out the vote and win elections than MoveOn." But it will take each of us doing our part to defeat Trump and flip the Senate! Will you chip in $3 a week to help MoveOn combat right-wing lies, make sure every vote is counted, and win this election?
No, I'm sorry, I can't chip in weekly.
