Join this week's "Hands Off!" mass call and mobilization. RSVP here.

We must unite to stop Trump and Musk's illegal, billionaire power grab!

Dear MoveOn member, Trump and Elon think they own this country. They think they can gut the public services we all rely on, assault our communities and rights, punish anyone standing in their way, and get away with it. They aim to accumulate unprecedented power and wealth, while leaving the rest of us behind. But we see their billionaire power grab for what it is, and we're not backing down. On April 5, hundreds of thousands of people across the country are coming together to take action and demand "Hands Off!"—no more looting, no more stealing, no more billionaires raiding our government while working people struggle to survive. This week, here are two ways you can plug into the Hands Off! actions: Sign up for the Hands Off! Mass Call for Mobilizing Against Trump's Power Grab on April 1 at 8:00 p.m. ET. Ahead of the day of the April 5 Hands Off! action, we'll gather virtually to hear from movement leaders including, Rahna Epting of MoveOn, Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers, Ezra Levin of Indivisible, and more to us make sense of the current moment, understand the connection between all the attacks on our communities, public services, and Constitution, and hear what it's going to take to defend our communities against Trump's power grab. Join a Hands Off! event in your community on Saturday April 5! This is our chance to send a message that we demand a stop to the billionaire takeover of our country. There are 1,000 events across the country, with over 250,000 people registered! This will be the largest mobilization against Trump and Musk's power grab since they took office in January. These events are accessible and family-friendly—it's going to take all of us acting together to protect one another and stop the power grab. A core principle behind Hands Off! is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants join the events peacefully and to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. This is an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to peaceful protest as the path to change. Whether you are mobilized by the attacks on our democracy, the slashing of jobs, the invasion of privacy, or the gutting of our services—this moment is for you. Please RSVP for the April 1 mass call and a Hands Off! event in your community on April 5. Thanks for all you do. –Kelsey, David, Gabi, Chris, and the rest of the team P.S. See the email below from last week with more information about Tuesday's mass call. Join the mass call on April 1 to hear what you can do to push back against the Trump-Musk power grab. Dear MoveOn member, Donald Trump's actions may be chaotic, but they aren't random. From sicking Elon Musk's chainsaw on Social Security and Medicaid to illegally jailing legal residents to threatening judges who attempt to block his actions, they're all part of one big power grab. That's why MoveOn and partners are bringing together our members for a mass call to help all of us make sense of the current moment, understand the connection between all the attacks on our communities, public services, and Constitution, and hear what it's going to take to defend our communities and all we hold dear against Trump's power grab. RSVP now for the "Hands Off! Mass Call for Mobilizing Against Trump's Power Grab" on Tuesday, April 1 at 8 p.m. ET/5 PT! Our movement for progress is coming together to reject and stop Trump's power grabs and attacks on our communities. During the call, you'll hear from movement leaders from MoveOn, the American Federation of Teachers, Indivisible, the National Education Association, Social Security Works, and more. What you can expect on the call: Hear about the the legal challenges to Trump's illegal moves, like the detention of Mahmoud Khalil and the defying of court orders Hear from movement leaders at the front lines fighting to protect our public services like Social Security, public education, and more The purpose of and how to get involved with the April 5 Hands Off! nationwide mobilization Speakers include Rahna Epting, MoveOn; Randi Weingarten, American Federation of Teachers; Deirdre Schifeling, ACLU; Ezra Levin, Indivisible; Kim Anderson, National Education Association; Alex Lawson, Social Security Works; Alissa Tafti, Federal Unionist Network; and more. Trump and Elon Musk destroy everything they can get their hands on and try to punish anyone who stands in their way. Trump recently asserted that a federal judge should be impeached for blocking the administration from doing something it wants to do, even if it's deemed unconstitutional. Trump is working every angle to squash dissent against his extreme agenda—whether it be student protesters, independent reporters, judges, or political opponents. But we are united and are not giving up. You may have already heard about, or perhaps have already signed up for, the nationwide Hands Off! April 5 mobilization to fight back against Trump and Musk's power grab. There are already more than 700 events with over 100,000 people planning to show up. It's going to take all of us coming together visibly and repeatedly to stop these power grabs and attacks on our communities. Ahead of these mobilizations, join movement leaders, experts, and more for a mass call on Tuesday, April 1, to make sense of the Trump administration's unprecedented power grab, efforts to remove limits to its power, and what we can do to confront it on April 5 and beyond. Thanks for all you do. –Kelsey, David, Gabi, Chris, and the rest of the team Want to support our work? The MoveOn community will work every moment, day by day and year by year, to resist Trump's agenda, contain the damage, defeat hate with love, and begin the process of swinging the nation's pendulum back toward sanity, decency, and the kind of future that we must never give up on.

There will be a reckoning

Our country is in enormous danger right now. That's the terrifying worry that keeps me up at night. But we can prevent our democracy's downfall, together.

Dear MoveOn member, Authoritarians benefit from an under-informed population—which is precisely why Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the Republican Party are carrying out the most sweeping assault on the American mind in modern history.1 Trump has effectively dismantled the U.S. Department of Education—gutting its staff and attempting to close the department altogether. American children be damned. He's cutting funding to public libraries and museums—invaluable places that provide internet access, literacy programs, and homework help to millions.2 He's going after scientific research. Silencing dissent. Threatening universities, researchers, and students and their free speech and academic freedom. Detaining immigrants—including lawful permanent residents with green cards—for speaking out. 3 These efforts aren't about policy, efficiency, or saving taxpayer money. They're about control. It's about creating a culture of fear and complacency. It's about tearing down the means and institutions that allow people to think critically, challenge authority, and participate in democracy. Our country is in enormous danger right now. That's the terrifying worry that keeps me up at night. But we can prevent our democracy's downfall, together. I believe the Trump-Musk regime will ultimately fail, because the backlash to their authoritarianism is growing every day. In the past few weeks, tens of thousands of people across the country showed up to see Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and other progressive champions who have been rallying around the country to urge people to fight against oligarchy.4 I believe a reckoning is coming. But to succeed, we need a massive movement. MoveOn has a plan—using cutting-edge technology—to reach, train, support, organize, and communicate at a scale that is unparalleled in the progressive movement. It won't be easy, but for the sake of our country's future, it must happen. Will you help? Please: Will you start a $5 monthly donation and help MoveOn create a movement so powerful that Trump will face a reckoning he can't ignore? 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. Research on other authoritarian regimes gives us the playbook we need to fight back. According to researchers, "no government has withstood a challenge of 3.5% of their population mobilized against it during a peak event."5,6 3.5 percent of the population is 11 million Americans. If we mobilize at this scale, the research shows we'll win. And I believe that mobilizing people at this scale is absolutely achievable. But it won't be easy: It means even more people than attended the Women's March. Even more than Martin Luther King's March on Washington. Getting to that scale will require significant resources. Which is why I'm asking you, William: Please help MoveOn build the movement we need to engage 3.5% of the U.S. population in a massive protest movement to stop authoritarianism in America by starting a $5 monthly donation. I'll chip in $5 a month. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately. I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation. Throughout history, tyrants have understood that their major enemy is an educated citizenry. That's why they want an undereducated and complacent population. Slaveholders prohibited enslaved people from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping censor the media. Trump and his MAGA allies are undermining the institutions—from public schools to libraries—that nourish free thought and informed debate and hoping people will give up hope and be afraid to speak out. MoveOn is working day and night to mobilize the MASSIVE grassroots reckoning that we need to stop this nightmare. That's why your $5 monthly donation is so critical. I'll chip in $5 a month. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately. I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation. Authoritarians want us to feel powerless. But we are not powerless. We've faced darkness before. And we've come through it by joining together, organizing boldly, and refusing to give in. Thanks for all you do. –Robert Reich P.S. The 3.5% rule teaches us that we don't need a majority to defeat tyranny. We just need enough. Enough people with courage. Enough people with clarity. Enough people to say: No more, this ends here. Will you start a $5 monthly donation to help MoveOn's efforts to help mobilize 3.5% or more of the population? 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. Sources: 1.

Will you sign the petition to urge local elected officials to protect LGBTQ+ rights?

Tell local leaders to defend our civil rights.

Trump is attacking our LGBTQ+ communities. Tell local leaders to defend our civil rights. Dear MoveOn member, Iowa recently became the first state to end civil rights protections for trans people. The governor signed a law removing gender identity from the state civil rights code—marking the first time any state has reversed course on prohibiting discrimination against a protected class.1 This shift will weaken legal safeguards against discrimination and affect the rights of transgender people in Iowa at every turn—from hiring practices to housing to health care access.2 And it comes as a direct result of Trump's federal attacks on the rights of trans Americans. The Trump administration's intimidation tactics and cruel approach will tear families apart and turn our neighbors against each other. Tell state and local decision-makers to act now to cement protections for the vital civil rights our LGBTQ+ and immigrant neighbors depend on. Cities and states have long been champions of our civil rights—providing protections and support where the federal government left gaps. But with Trump's relentless attacks on LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities, some states are using his shift in policy as cover to undermine protections for vulnerable communities. These attacks don't just affect targeted communities—they represent a dangerous erosion of our civil liberties and undermine the rights of ALL Americans. Will you sign the petition to tell local leaders to protect sanctuary communities? Add your name to the petition to urge elected officials to protect sanctuary communities NOW! Too many states, empowered by Trump's federal rollbacks, are introducing policies that compromise our civil rights, creating hostile environments for vulnerable communities like immigrants and LGBTQ+ folks. Unjust state and federal policies are throwing our communities into chaos and making it harder for sanctuary cities to ensure safety and security for everyone. Add your name to tell elected officials they must safeguard our civil rights from Trump's attacks. The vast majority of Americans support anti-discrimination protections for the LGBTQ+ community—in direct opposition to the law that Iowa passed.3 But instead of focusing on lowering costs and raising incomes, Trump is insisting on discriminatory approaches to immigrant and LGBTQ+ communities that will disrupt our workforce, impacting local economies and returning us to the days of discriminatory hiring practices. Protecting trans and LGBTQ+ Americans benefits all of us—tell state and local leaders that it's time to double down, not back down, on these promises.

Add your name: Repeal the Comstock Act of 1873!

The Comstock Act is a 150-year-old outdated, dangerous law that could potentially make it illegal to mail abortion medication and equipment used to perform abortions.

Stop Republicans from using this 1873 law to ban abortion! Sign the petition to repeal the Comstock Act NOW! Dear MoveOn member, Hawaii is the latest state to consider stockpiling medication abortion drugs—following the lead of places like Oregon, California, and New York—amid rising concerns that the Trump administration will work to revive the Comstock Act, essentially banning abortion across the nation.1 The Comstock Act is a 150-year-old, outdated, dangerous law that could potentially make it illegal to mail abortion medication and equipment used to perform abortions.2 Enforcing the Comstock Act was a strategy outlined in Project 2025, a far-right blueprint that the Trump administration has wasted no time implementing.3 And Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have also cited the law, raising the stakes even more.4 Anti-abortion extremists will use the courts, legislation, and any power grab they can to stop people from getting the reproductive health care they deserve—but we can fight back. U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Tina Smith reintroduced the Stop Comstock Act, which would repeal the Comstock Act and stop MAGA Republicans from weaponizing this law to block abortion care.5 Will you add your name to the petition and urge members of Congress to pass the Stop Comstock Act NOW? Repeal the Comstock Act NOW! Stop anti-abortion extremists' efforts to restrict access to abortion care and other reproductive health care! From overturning Roe v. Wade to attacks on IVF and threats to take away FDA approval of mifepristone, the right wing will stop at nothing to implement a nationwide abortion ban. The Comstock Act declares "every article or thing designed, adapted, or intended for producing abortion" to be "nonmailable."6 Medication abortion accounted for 63% of all abortion care in 2023.7 And enforcing the outdated and cruel law would restrict millions of people from getting the crucial health care they need. Add your name to demand that the Comstock Act be repealed now! Donald Trump has tried time and time again to prevent the public from finding out his real stance on abortion. But we know the truth: Trump is proud of his role in overturning Roe v. Wade, and he's surrounded himself with anti-abortion extremists who will use their power to threaten abortion access nationwide.8 Trump's attorney general, Pam Bondi, who is responsible for enforcing federal laws, has a history of supporting anti-abortion laws. Her confirmation is a serious threat to abortion access—she could enforce the Comstock Act at any moment to stop the shipment of abortion medication and equipment.9 Republicans have spent years undermining and chipping away at abortion access, pushing it out of reach for far too many by imposing financial, logistical, and legal barriers.10 Now the right to access safe and legal abortion care is on the line for millions, with an anti-abortion attorney general overseeing the Department of Justice. That is why we have to come together to spread the word about these dangerous threats to our reproductive rights and demand that those in power take action NOW to stop these extremists from using the Comstock Act, before it's too late. Sign the petition now to demand that the Comstock Act be repealed, and share with three friends! Thanks for all you do. –Alexis, Nadia, Justin, Joel, and the rest of the team Sources: 1.
