The future of the Democratic Party is on the line.

Dear MoveOn member,

HUGE news: MoveOn just endorsed seven bold, populist candidates for Senate who are ready to fight like hell for working families.

MoveOn doesn’t take our endorsement process lightly. To earn our stamp of approval, candidates must convince our members that they are fighters who will go to Washington and lower prices, stand up to Trump and the billionaire Epstein class, and push back against the influence of dark money.1

That’s why, today, MoveOn is endorsing: James Talarico (TX), Sherrod Brown (OH), Roy Cooper (NC), Graham Platner (ME), Dr. Abdul El-Sayed (MI), Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan (MN), and Jon Ossoff (GA).

And these candidates need our help—now. In Michigan, progressive fighter El-Sayed has been outspent on the airwaves by the corporate establishment by a factor of 17-to-1, including from an AIPAC-affiliated PAC.2

While we don’t need to match the establishment dollar for dollar, we simply cannot allow corporations and billionaires to control who wins elections.

Will you start a $5 monthly donation to power and sustain MoveOn's campaign to mobilize voters and elect bold populist candidates who will flip control of the Senate?

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.

Meet the candidates MoveOn is endorsing:

  • Dr. Abdul El-Sayed (MI): El-Sayed, a tireless advocate for Medicare for All, has worked to improve the healthcare system in Detroit and is working to transform a political system that benefits the wealthy and well-connected rather than everyday people.
  • Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (MN): Flanagan has a strong track record of fighting for Minnesotans, pushing back on the Trump administration, and for policies that improve the lives of working families.
  • Sherrod Brown (OH): A former senator, Brown has always fought for Ohioans and to protect the dignity of work and advance policies that improve the livelihoods of working families.
  • Gov. Roy Cooper (NC): Cooper has spent his career fighting for working families, investing in quality public education, and taking on systems that leave people behind.
  • James Talarico (TX): With a proven record of fighting for public education in the Texas House, he’s showing that the Texas spirit means standing up for your neighbors, taking on corruption, and challenging the political status quo.
  • Graham Platner (ME): Platner’s campaign to end foreign wars, enact taxes for billionaires, pass Medicare for All, and transform a broken political system so that it finally delivers for working people will mobilize Mainers to the ballot box in droves.
  • Jon Ossoff (GA): Ossoff is a fighter for the people, working relentlessly to expose corruption and end the abuse of power. He’s introduced legislation to ban corporate PACs altogether and is leading the charge to ban stock trading by members of Congress.

Will you start a $5 monthly donation to support MoveOn's efforts and ensure Democrats win the majority in the Senate?

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.

The future of the Democratic Party is on the line. Will the party embrace fighters who will take on the status quo, or continue to embrace Establishment-style politics that benefit only the wealthy and well-connected?

It’s up to us.

And if we can show that populist, progressive fighters can win in competitive battleground states like Michigan and Minnesota—and even in traditionally Republican states like Texas—we will set a game-changing precedent for the 2028 Democratic presidential primaries. Powering these bold populist fighters to victory will set the stage for a strong progressive presidential nominee in 2028.

No longer will the DC consultant class be able to say that corporate centrists are the only path to victory.

With so much on the line, will you start a monthly $5 donation to MoveOn to mobilize voters for our endorsed candidates?

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.
