Dear MoveOn member,
With fewer than four weeks to go in the Georgia runoff elections that will decide control of the Senate, the newly updated FiveThirtyEight polling average has both races on a knife's edge.1
Jon Ossoff leads David Perdue by less than one percentage point, and Rev. Raphael Warnock leads Kelly Loeffler by just 2.2%.2 We are within striking distance of winning these races and flipping the Senate blue—but just like November's general election, everything will be decided by turnout.
Which is why Donald Trump's campaign rally in Georgia this past weekend was so troubling. Despite losing re-election, Trump still has a massive, loyal following, and his personal involvement in the Georgia races will undoubtedly drive up enthusiasm among his far-right base. In fact, the Associated Press calls Trump "the GOP's biggest turnout driver."3
We simply can't sit back as Trump gins up his base and drives up GOP turnout.
That's why MoveOn is mounting an ambitious television and radio ad campaign to energize the Democratic base and persuade independent voters. But we're not stopping there: We're also launching a bold effort to blanket crucially important parts of Atlanta with billboards to ensure that Georgia voters know how corrupt and cruel Loeffler and Perdue have been before they head to the polls.
With only 26 days left in the election and the races in a dead heat, will you chip in $5 a month to get TV ads on the air, put up billboards, keep them up to power Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock to victory, and enable us to keep up the fight in 2021?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks to the leadership of Black women, Black activists, and local organizers, the state of Georgia is transforming, voters are more engaged than ever, our democratic systems are being held accountable, and our hopes of turning Georgia blue in January are within reach. Mar, thanks to these organizers, we defeated Trump just one month ago.
Now, we have to do it again.
If Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff both win, Democrats will flip the Senate and end Mitch McConnell's despicable reign as Senate majority leader. Which means that for the first time in a decade, Democrats will control the House, the Senate, and the presidency—giving us a rare but critical opportunity to enact bold, progressive legislation to tackle the climate crisis, rebuild our economy, address the pandemic head-on, advance racial justice, and much more.
But if we fail to win both Georgia Senate seats on January 5, President-elect Biden will be the first Democratic president since 1885 to take office with his party not in control of both chambers of Congress.4
That's why MoveOn is going all-in to win in Georgia. We have an ambitious plan to run a huge TV, radio, and billboard ad campaign to get out the vote.
But we need your help to fully bring these plans to life. Will you chip in $5 a month to help us get on the air, win in Georgia, flip the Senate blue, and head into 2021 strong and able to fight for progressive change with Joe Biden in the White House?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
We know both of these races are neck and neck. The polls are in a dead heat. And we know that these elections could be decided by only a handful of votes.
In races this close, every single ad, every single phone call, and every single dollar can make a world of difference.
Will you rush a $5 monthly donation to win in Georgia, flip the Senate, and fight for progressive change in 2021?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Mitch McConnell is refusing to even acknowledge Joe Biden's victory, and as long as he remains Senate majority leader, he has the power to stop everything, from Cabinet nominations to legislation, in its tracks. It doesn't have to be this way, and it won't be … IF we win the two Georgia Senate runoff elections on January 5. We can win these seats and flip the Senate blue, but we urgently need your help.
Will you chip in to win in Georgia, flip the Senate, and fight for progressive change in 2021?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
