I’ll be so grateful when you do.īecause if you care about women’s rights to control our own bodies and our own paychecks, then you’ve just got to care about this midterm election. I need you to give three of those hours to MoveOn.

There are roughly 80 hours between now and when the polls close on Election Day. Your actions right now will help decide who controls the Senate. But MoveOn members are changing that with millions of person-to-person calls. When you sign up, you’ll call progressive voters whom they’ve identified as unlikely to vote unless they have a call from you. MoveOn’s got voter turnout all figured it out. We should be on the streets, pounding on GOP doors, demanding the equality and dignity that are due to us.Īnd I’m with you, raising my voice with yours.īut right now, our fight is at the ballot box, and our common work is voter turnout. In a second, they’ll be dragging out the stocks. And, if you’re not swinging from a light fixture yet, I’m here to tell you that there are Senate candidates who could win who are against access to birth control, paid family sick leave, and the Violence Against Women Act-and they don’t take seriously the issues of rape and domestic abuse. Senate Democrats have brought the Paycheck Fairness Act to the Senate floor four times since 2011, and every single damn time the act has come up for a vote, Republicans have blocked it.ģ. From 2011 to 2013, there were more laws passed to limit women’s reproductive rights than in the previous decade.Ģ. Let me give you three good reasons to be outraged:ġ. Will you help get out the pro-women vote on November 4? If you want to prevent a Republican takeover of the U.S. Women, and the men who stand with us, are the majority.Ĭome on. If this weren’t an email, I’d lay out my full-uncensored-fury at Republicans and right-wing forces that hold women down, keep us subservient.īut it is an email, so I’ll say my piece as politely as I can: This election is ours to win, if we do the work.Īs I see it, politicians make laws that put women’s bodies and our paychecks into their hands.īut we’re not just a voting group to be courted by ad execs. As a supporter of Move On, and a big fan of Joan Jett, I wanted to share this message from Joan about the Republican assault on women’s rights. I already cast my votes by write in, but if I hadn’t I’d be at the polls Tues. As flawed as our two party system is, it is essential to vote for the people who come closest to representing your views and interests.
