Dear MoveOn member,
MoveOn is in the final stretch of the most powerful election campaign in our 22-year history, and as MoveOn's Electoral Mobilization Director, my job is to make sure that we inspire MoveOn members and voters to not just vote, but to multiply their impact by getting their friends and family to vote too, and ensure a landslide victory.
With only four days left to get out the vote, I wanted to give you an update on all of the work we have done together to make sure we win this election, and share some opportunities to take action together in the final stretch.
Hold onto your seats, because MoveOn members have been knocking it out of the park:
- Over 850,000 MoveOn volunteers have pledged to get three or more of their friends and family members who live in swing states to vote—and are reaching out to their friends as you read this email. This is huge, because research shows that there's nothing more powerful than a personal conversation with friends and family members about why and how to vote.
- MoveOn's volunteer Text Team has broken an all-time record by texting 3.9 million voters in a single day this week, to give voters critical information about how to vote and make sure voters are multiplying their impact by getting their friends and family to vote too.
- MoveOn members have supported and shared Your Vote Is Power, a massive social media campaign with GIFs, memes, art, video ads and celebrity engagement powered by research-tested messaging that has created a culture of voting and inspired young people and people of color to be voters. The campaign has generated nearly 600 million views and counting for its inspiring content.
- Every day and every night, MoveOn volunteers are leading and participating in virtual phone banks: 3,056 MoveOn volunteers signed up for over 5,000 virtual phone bank shifts with the Biden/Harris campaign to ensure progressive voters are hearing a compelling reason to vote—whether voting early in person, by mail, or on November 3.
- 5,180 MoveOn members have signed up to be poll workers—helping to set up and close down polling places, issuing ballots, helping people understand how to vote, protecting ballots, and monitoring voting equipment—in critical locations across the country, to help resolve the unprecedented shortage of poll workers created by the pandemic.
- And together, MoveOn members have donated over $6 million directly to candidates in tight races across the country.
This is how we win. And if we win, I have no doubt that MoveOn members will have played an absolutely vital role in that victory.

MoveOn members like you. MoveOn members everywhere. Thank you to each and every one of you who have been a part of this work.
And it's not too late to get involved. No matter how much time you have to give or where you live, there is a meaningful role for you to play as part of the MoveOn community to help Democrats win up and down the ballot. Here's how:
- Sign up to become a Vote Mobilizer to mobilize ten of your friends and family members who live in swing states to vote.
- Pledge to remind three friends to vote, and then make sure those friends turn out to vote by or on Election Day.
- Make calls to voters in swing states for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris with fellow MoveOn members and progressive activists.
- Share voting-related content from MoveOn's Your Vote Is Power Election Toolkit with your friends on social media.
The 2016 election came down to just 79,646 votes. If all MoveOn members like you step up to take action in the next four days, we can win the Electoral College and usher in a landslide victory that is so clear it's undeniable.
In four days, we can kick Trump out of office, end GOP control of the Senate, and expand progressive leadership in the House of Representatives.
In four days, we can make history.
Thanks for all you do.
–Kate, Rahna, Olga, Michael, and the rest of the team
P.S. Win or lose, our work won't be over on Election Day. We're ready to mobilize if Trump and his cronies try to steal the election, and you can join forces with us and other progressive groups across the country to stop them by signing up here.
Want to support MoveOn's work? As Senator Elizabeth Warren says, "If you are committed to helping win this life-or-death fight, now is the moment to step up. MoveOn and I are giving this fight our all." With just days left in one of the most consequential elections in U.S. history, we have an urgent question: Will you chip in to help MoveOn power a blue wave, defeat Trump, and flip the Senate?
