If we want to beat Trump and elect Kamala Harris, we need to fund the local organizers turning out the hardest-to-reach voters — and the easiest way to do that is by giving through Movement Voter PAC.
In 2020, local organizing groups worked overtime to turn out the voters who decided the election. We need them again in 2024, but they need us to step up and fund them NOW.
These groups are already knocking on doors. They’re already on the phones. They just need the resources to scale up.
If you want to support these groups, MVP makes it easy. They raise money from all over the country, then give it out to all the best state and local groups working on the ground to turn out the exact voters we need to win, in all the states and races that matter most.
We don’t want to lose this election by a few thousand votes because we were a day late and a dollar short.

Dear friends and family,
The election is close, democracy hangs in the balance, and it’s all hands on deck!
If you want to put your time toward getting out the vote, here are a few great volunteering options: https://movement.vote/gotv
And if you want to put your money where it can make the most impact, consider Movement Voter PAC: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mvpac?refcode=share
MVP funds local, year-round organizing groups turning out the hardest-to-reach voters — youth, voters of color, LGBTQ voters, immigrant voters, and others — who can tip the scales in the states and races that matter most.
These groups were a big part of Biden’s razor-thin win in 2020, and Democrats saving the Senate and stanching the expected red wave in 2022.
They did it then, and they can do it again. But they need our help!
If you want to support these efforts, MVP makes it easy. They raise money from all over the country, then give it out to all the voter engagement groups that can make the biggest difference, both now and for the long term.
One of the reasons I support MVP is that the groups they fund focus on creating the community-based infrastructure we need to build political power that grows and make change that lasts, not just this year but for years to come.
This strategy can tip the elections this year, and just as importantly, build a strong, engaged, and enduring voter base that can become more influential with each election cycle.
This election is, obviously, about who wins the White House but it’s also about the Senate, the House, state legislatures, ballot measures, city councils, school boards, and more. We need power at all levels of government, to enact the kind of progress we all want to see.
There are billions of dollars going to candidate campaigns and TV ads, which all vanish after Election Day. The groups that MVP funds can win the margin of victory in this election — and they aren’t just going to pack their boxes and turn off the lights afterward.
We don’t want to lose this election by a few thousand votes because we were a day late and a dollar short. Don’t wait – join me in giving all you can to MVP: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mvpac?refcode=share
