MoveOn's data-driven get-out-the-vote program can stop Musk, Trump, and Republicans.

Dear MoveOn member,

The New York Times reports that Elon Musk—the wealthiest person in the world and in all of human history—is "prepared to spend big" to help Republicans win the midterms.1,2

Musk was the biggest donor in the entire 2024 presidential election—which got Donald Trump back into the White House. Now he thinks that he can buy the outcome of this year's elections.

Musk's super PAC is set to spend $120 million or more on an eight-state field program to help Republicans win.3

That’s where MoveOn comes in: We have a data-driven get-out-the-vote program that will stop Musk, Trump, and Republicans.

If you don't want Musk and MAGA Republicans to steal our voice, will you start a monthly donation of $5 to fund MoveOn's midterm election effort that will deliver the Democratic landslide we need?

Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month. (If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.)

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.

Republicans know their policies are deeply unpopular. Just look at Trump's approval rating: Multiple polls and surveys show it's at a record-breaking low.4 So, the GOP is looking to cheat and rig the outcome of the midterm elections.

They're trying to sneak through the SAVE Act, the worst voter-suppression bill ever.5

Republican governors and the MAGA-majority Supreme Court are helping gerrymander districts around the country, to tilt the playing field in Republicans' favor.6

And now Musk is using his wealth to influence elections. It's wrong and unfair. But just because the other side cheats doesn't mean we'll lose.

MoveOn has a plan to ensure that our voices are heard at the ballot boxes. We've won before—even when we were outspent.

Will you donate $5 a month to help us win? We don't need millions of dollars, but we need a consistent base of support to keep MoveOn's midterm elections program on pace.

Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month. (If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.)

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.

MoveOn's midterm elections program is powerful. We will help the Democrats win by a margin so massive that Republicans, Trump, Musk, and their PR and legal teams won't be able to dispute the electoral outcome.

MoveOn's get-out-the-vote program is precise. Our data analysts have put in the work. We know what went wrong in 2024 and what we need to do to win in 2026. We've identified 11 critical battleground districts where the number of MoveOn members who skipped voting in 2024 exceeds the total margin of victory needed to win those races in 2026.

And MoveOn's program is inspiring. MoveOn is supporting the progressive, populist candidates who've been endorsed by our members. These Democratic champions will fight to lower healthcare costs, build an America working families can actually afford, push back against the influence of dark money, and stand up to Trump and billionaires like Musk.

With just 92 days until Election Day, we need to go all in to stop Musk, Trump, and Republicans from destroying democracy and irreparably changing the future of our country. Please chip in $5 a month to fuel MoveOn's midterm plan.

Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month. (If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.)

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.

Let's be real: Republicans already have a cash advantage heading into the midterms, supported as they are by super PACs and party groups. And now, with Musk's ridiculous wealth tipping the scales, it's unlikely that Democrats can catch up.

But MoveOn has never depended on big-money donors to fight the good fight and win. We're fueled by small donors like you. And because we use every dollar wisely, we have a strong track record of winning elections—even when we are outspent—so long as we have the support of MoveOn members like you.

With your support, we'll be able to fully implement our 2026 midterm program to defeat Republicans and then build a better future that we all deserve. Please chip in $5 a month.

Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month. (If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.)

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.

Thanks for all you do.
