Dear Paulo, Sign the petition now telling Congress to protect our democracy from future coups by reforming the vague Electoral Count Act, which Trump aimed to exploit in his attempt to overturn the 2020 election. On Jan. 6, 2021, Trump was likely days away from convincing a few state legislatures to take his side and try to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Exploiting the vague Electoral Count Act to pull off this fraudulent move was crucial to the strategy by Trump and his allies. The evidence uncovered by the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection strongly supports this. It has obtained a 38-page plan—circulated inside the Trump White House on Jan. 5, 2021—for Trump to declare a "National Security Emergency," invalidate electronic voting in all states, and seize ballots in an effort to install himself for a second, illegal term.1 Thanks to safeguards in our electoral process, Trump's coup failed. But Trump and his allies are aggressively dismantling the safeguards that blocked his previous coup—so their next attempt may not fail. Add your name to the petition urging Congress to reform the Electoral Count Act of 1887 to prevent future attempts to overturn fair, democratic elections. Sign Now Trump’s plan to enable him to steal the next presidential election is already underway, warns an important investigation in The Atlantic by respected journalist Barton Gellman: “The next attempt to overthrow a national election may not qualify as a coup.” Rather, the loser of the next presidential contest could be certified as the president-elect using the fraudulent maneuver possible under the current Electoral Count Act.2 To save our democracy, we should step up pressure on Congress to adopt badly-needed Electoral Count Act reforms to clarify the process to certify the winner of elections and make it harder to overthrow the voters’ will. We can’t stand by as Trump and his allies plan to enable the overthrow of future democratic elections. Sign the petition now telling Congress to prevent exploitation of the Electoral Count Act by reforming it and keep our democracy safe. Then, share this petition to your family and friends.   Thanks for all you do, — MoveOn P.S.

Dear Paulo,

Welcome to MoveOn!

 

By taking action as a new MoveOn member, you've just joined a community of millions of people across the country—from big cities to rural towns—working to make our country more equitable, just, and a place where everyone can live with dignity.

Meanwhile, the GOP continue to attack the institutions of our democracy, spreading bigotry, racism, xenophobia, and misogyny—and spurring white supremacist violence across the country. That's why it's up to all of us to stand together and fight harder than ever before for our shared progressive values and the future we want to see for generations to come.

MoveOn members like you, Paulo, have been the people-powered engine that ended Republican control of the U.S. House last November, won the Affordable Care Act and defended it, and played a critical role in defeating Trump and his GOP enablers like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell—through digital actions, on-the-ground work, financial support, and more.

Simply put, MoveOn is its members, which is why you'll periodically see surveys about which position MoveOn should take on an issue or whether to endorse a particular political candidate—one of the ways that MoveOn listens to its members.

As we work together to build this progressive movement, here are some of the ways to stay in touch and remain active:
