Movement Voter Project

The smokestacks at the Doom and Gloom Factory have been spewing overtime lately. You know what we've been thinking? Eff That Malarkey! Here's how we win from here: https://lnkd.in/eu3dytcf

Moments ago, former President Trump announced J. D. Vance as his VP pick. Our message to donors is this: Trump-Vance and Project 2025 are not inevitable. We can win in 2024 if we fund local organizing like we did in 2020. Post-debate, many have already given up hope and predicted a Red Wave in November. But if the last few weeks have taught us anything, it’s that the future is unwritten – and right now we have 112 days to write it. It’s not about the parties or the candidates on the ticket. It’s about a handful of voters in a handful of swing states, the issues that move them, and the local organizers who can mobilize them. The next four years will shape the next few decades. If you felt regret after 2016 because you knew you could have done more: Join us now in funding the largest ground game in history. ### MVP is a one-stop shop for strategically investing in local organizations that win elections and transform policy.

We are wishing for the well-being of former President Trump, his family, and everyone affected by today’s incident. Political violence has no place in our democracy. We encourage everyone to denounce it, unequivocally and with one voice.

To maximize our chances of defeating Trump, MVP is publicly joining the growing chorus of calls for President Biden to pass the baton. Read our memo: https://lnkd.in/eNREmb9S

Washington, DC — On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution for criminal acts in their official presidential capacity. Movement Voter PAC, which helps Democratic and progressive donors invest in local voter organizing groups in swing states, released this statement: “This ruling means the stakes of this election just got higher. If Trump wins, the most vulnerable will suffer the most. So here is our message to anti-Trump donors: Do not despair – double down and invest in the ground game like our democracy depends on it.” “Since Biden’s debate performance, some have said they’re not donating until Biden drops out. Others have said they’re not donating until everyone stands firm with him. Both only help Trump, and misgauge how we defeat him: Investing in peer-to-peer voter engagement by grassroots organizing groups. “Regardless of this ruling and no matter who is on the Democratic ticket, the math and the strategy stay the same: Target the swing states, invest in the organizing groups that can mobilize the hardest-to-reach Democratic voters, and do it now while every dollar yields more votes. “Join us so that, the morning after the election, we can rejoice in having won by a fraction of a percentage point, instead of regret in having lost by that same margin.” ### MVP is a one-stop shop for strategically investing in local organizations that win elections and transform policy.

As the dust starts to settle on last night's debate, the assignment for all of us is more clear and urgent than ever. In summary: We need to fund the biggest ground game in history to beat the worst President in history by electing whichever Democrat is on the ticket. Here's the plan: https://lnkd.in/ezzsY_E3

RE: Biden's bad debate: We don’t know what happens next. We *do* know this election is about the movement and the people, not the person. No one will save us from Trump except us. In *any* scenario, funding local organizing in swing states is our best strategy to win.

This election will likely be won or lost by 10,000 votes – the margin of effort. Here’s our take on the political situation, the money situation, and how we rebuild our divided team: https://lnkd.in/eTXqJXZs

Reproductive freedoms are under attack. The good news: Organizers are fighting back. We have a chance to expand reproductive freedoms this year — and to leverage these issues to win the 2024 elections. Join us on Wednesday, June 26 to learn more: https://lnkd.in/edw-vqhQ

Our official statement on today's verdict: https://lnkd.in/eQJXEjsQ For Immediate Release May 30, 2024 NEW YORK — In the historic first criminal trial of a former President, today a jury found Donald Trump guilty of violating campaign finance laws by falsifying business records to cover up a hush-money payment to an adult film actress. Not all anti-Trump groups are celebrating, however. Movement Voter PAC (MVP), which helps anti-Trump donors fund local organizing in swing states, is advising donors to simply keep their focus on funding grassroots, microtargeted get-out-the-vote efforts. “The real trial is Democracy v. Trump, and the only verdict that matters is Election Day,” admonished Zo Tobi, MVP spokesperson. “Our only defense against a second Trump term is a few thousand hard-to-reach voters in a handful of states — and local organizers are our best hope at mobilizing them.” In 2020, Joe Biden defeated then-President Trump by only 42,844 votes across Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin — just 0.027% of all votes cast nationwide. Now, in 2024 polling, Trump narrowly leads Biden in six of the top seven swing states. “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but even with a guilty verdict, we are still a coin toss away from a second Trump term,” Tobi continued. “If young voters and voters of color turn out like they did in 2020, Trump loses. If they choose the couch this time, he wins. TV ads won’t move these voters. Panic donations in October won’t either. Person-to-person outreach by local trusted messengers is the best shot we have.” A growing body of evidence supports the view that person-to-person voter engagement creates the greatest effect on voter turnout, particularly among the disaffected and lower-propensity voters who will likely decide the 2024 Presidential Election in the top-tier battleground states. “The fact that a convicted former President is still leading in many swing-state polls doesn’t mean ‘game over,’ it means ‘naptime over,’” said Tobi. “Time to turn off the trial coverage, get off the ‘pollercoaster,’ and give like our democracy depends on it.” ### Movement Voter PAC (MVP) is a one-stop shop for strategically investing in local organizations that win elections and transform policy.
