This weekend in New York: Rally for health care

We'll tell Congress loud and clear: health care is a human right and lives are on the line.

YOU'RE INVITED!
March For Our Lives (Save Our Health Care)
 
Where: Trump Tower  (in New York)
When: Saturday, July 29, 2:00 PM
What:

Join this speak-out for health care, because we know that attacks on health care will continue, and lives are literally on the line.


Grassroots organizing and public outrage just stopped the Senate from taking health care from millions of people—for now. But we know the attacks on health care will continue. We have to hold accountable the members of Congress who tried to pass Trumpcare, and we must push the debate forward toward single-payer Medicare For All—which is why, this weekend, MoveOn members and allies will be taking peacefully to the streets to say, "Health care is a human right, and we won't forget your votes."

We'll be holding signs, chanting together, and sharing stories about what health care means to all of us, as part of a national day of action!

Republicans have been calling for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act since its inception. We need to be prepared for their attacks on our health care to come back again and again. One of the best tactics is showing members of Congress the faces and telling the stories of their constituents whose lives will be in danger if they take away our health care. 

There are over 140 events planned this weekend. Join with neighbors and fellow progressives from across the country and tell your member of Congress that you will not stop fighting for health care. 

 

Will you stand up for health care in New York? 
A person holding a sign! YES, I'LL BE THERE! People holding signs!
I can't make it, but show me other events near me.

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. And to do it we need your ongoing support, now more than ever. Will you stand with us?

Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.

No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.

Thank Sen. Schumer and Sen. Gillibrand for fighting for our health care

Dear MoveOn member,

Together, we just did something big.

Last night, once again, Republicans couldn't pass Trumpcare, because millions of Americans—MoveOn members and many others—rose up and stopped them.

By just one vote, the Senate rejected the latest version of Trumpcare, which would've stripped health care from 16 million people, raised premiums for millions more, and defunded Planned Parenthood. In the days leading up to this vote, MoveOn members made more than 100,000 calls to the Senate, staged emergency rallies around the country, and shared MoveOn-produced videos on health care that've now been seen over 10 million times—all following months of relentless grassroots organizing.

And as the Senate was preparing to vote, MoveOn members gathered at a rally outside the Capitol. Joined by allies, elected officials, and other Americans from all walks of life, we chanted so loudly that we could be heard inside the halls of the Capitol itself! Moments after the vote, at 1:30 a.m., Senate Democrats joined the electrified crowd—sharing spine-tingling words about the power of grassroots activism and the need to always keep up the fight. People at the rally, some of whom had been there for over seven hours and some of whom were mothers with sleeping children in strollers and carriers, stood up and shared their own stories of what this victory meant to them.

There is plenty of work to be done—to protect the Affordable Care Act from new versions of Trumpcare and sabotage by the administration, to build the campaign that asserts health care is a human right and creates a Medicare-for-All-style single-payer system, to bring this grassroots energy to so many other fronts. But for today, let's savor this win, which belongs to the grassroots.

And let's say thank you to the 51 senators who resisted McConnell and Trump and rejected Trumpcare.

Democrats were absolutely united in this fight—which was critical to last night's victory. Can you thank Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten E. Gillibrand by posting a message to their Facebook page or over Twitter, thanking them for fighting for our health care? You can say something like "Thank you for fighting for health care for all Americans and stopping Trumpcare! You've saved health care for tens of millions of us. KEEP FIGHTING—and let's work towards Medicare for All!"

Here are different ways to share that message:

- On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KirstenGillibrand/
- Tweeting and using their handle: @SenGillibrand
- By giving them a call: Kirsten Gillibrand (D) - (202) 224-4451

- On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/senschumer
- Tweeting and using their handle: @SenSchumer
- By giving them a call: Chuck Schumer (D) - (202) 224-6542

We know the big-money interests that bought off so many Republican votes won't rest, and they'll look for new ways to pursue their agenda. We won't rest either. This weekend, MoveOn members are participating in 250 "listening canvasses" around the country, talking to neighbors and learning what matters most to our communities, including how our neighbors are thinking about the need for affordable health care. And MoveOn members are participating in 140 "Lives on the Line" actions this weekend—rallies and speak-outs to stand for health care for all Americans and against any attempt to kick Americans off health care.

Join us at either of these events this weekend—click here for canvasses or click here for "Lives on the Line"—as we continue to thank the senators who stood for health care, shame those who vote to take health care from millions of Americans, and build on the momentum from last night's victory.

Thanks for all you do.

Attend a health care listening canvass in Flushing

MoveOn members across the country have organized hundreds of health care listening canvasses this weekend.

Dear MoveOn member, 

What's happening this week in Washington is a travesty for our democracy. 

Republicans are trying every procedural trick and gimmick they can muster to try to take away health care from millions of people. As of the sending of this email, we still don't know if they'll succeed or fail. 

They haven't held any hearings. Or heard from any health care experts. They have stopped holding town halls and listening to their constituents. So we're listening for them. 

MoveOn members across the country have organized hundreds of health care listening canvasses this weekend. They'll be out in their communities, knocking on doors, and having in-depth conversations with neighbors about health care in this country, the real solutions we need to fix it, and giving people ways to take action during the upcoming August recess. 

And there's an event near you! Here are the details: 

Flushing Health Care Canvass
Sunday, July 30, 1:00 PM
Flushing, NY

Click for more details and to RSVP.

MoveOn members canvass for health care

These health care canvasses have been going on for the past few weeks and are being anchored by local MoveOn Mobilizers—grassroots leaders MoveOn has been training for months as part of our Resistance Summer program. They'll make canvassing easy—with scripts you can use and a team of fellow MoveOn members and neighbors to encourage each other through the day. Whether you've canvassed in elections before or this is your first time, it's a great next step to engage with your neighbors and start critical conversations that can lead to change down the road.

Here's how EveeJ, a MoveOn Mobilizer in Illinois, described her experience organizing a health care listening canvass: 

Last week, I led my first Neighborhood Listening Project canvass. It had been a very long time since I'd done something like this, and I'd never canvassed with the single purpose of shedding light on a particular issue—in this case, health care and listening to my community members.

The event was so powerful that I have decided to lead one more group canvass this Sunday. And the timing couldn't be more important, with Republicans inching closer to taking away health care from millions of people, but with time still to save the day.

One woman I spoke with was 100% pro-Affordable Care Act. She is a lung transplant survivor. I had planned and practiced to use the script, but then I got into conversation with the lady, and it just flowed! We talked for a bit, and I invited her to our next Indivisible meeting last weekend. Basically ... it worked! This is my reality: This canvassing event is changing me from the inside out. I actually have been given the opportunity to use my voice to help others!

Kelly in Florida generated a lot of discussion outside her local libraries: 

We set up outside at the two libraries in town, and I had shifts at each location between 10 and 4 on Saturday. We had 20 volunteers for the day.

We had a total of 128 conversations!! The best part is, it truly did open a community conversation about health care. People wanted to talk about it, some people did not understand it, some people were heartily in favor of the ACA, some were heartily for the new bill, but they all participated in the discussion. The majority however, are NOT in favor of the new bill. I am overwhelmed and stunned at the success. 

At the Vero location, a local restaurant brought food for the table, and volunteers said the place was 'humming' with discussion.

Christine canvassed her conservative neighborhood in Ohio and found a lot of unexpected common ground: 

We knocked on 40 doors in my fairly conservative neighborhood, and we spoke to about 11 people, listening to their views about the Republican health care bill and about a single-payer option. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how many were against the Republican bill. The streets surrounding mine were lined with Trump signs before the election. I was a little nervous about this too since I have never canvassed, but I felt like I learned a lot about my neighbors and who they are.

One of the most powerful quotes for me was when a neighbor stated, "No one should die because they can't afford health care." This kind woman explained that she was unable to buy insulin because it was too costly. Another neighbor's granddaughter translated my words to him since his English was limited and he speaks primarily Spanish. He wants to help! Even my neighbors who disagreed with my own view were courteous. This was a very positive and eye-opening event. I firmly believe that more of this needs to happen in the future to build a feeling of true cooperation and brotherhood, even among those with opposing views.

No one knows how the health care voting fiasco in Washington is going to end up, or even when. Between when we click send on this email and you read it, more might have changed. But what remains true is that members of Congress will know that their constituents are out in droves this weekend, talking with would-be-future voters about their votes on health care. We're sharing stories widely on social media channels, with key national and state reporters, and with member of Congress' offices. Going out talking about health care in your neighborhoods this weekend puts members of Congress on notice!

So if you want to get out from in front of the screen this weekend, have some real, heartfelt conversations about how to really fix our nation's health care system with people in your community, and give people ways they can take action this August, click here to sign up for the event nearest you in Flushing.

Thanks for all you do.

Red-alert moment (Trumpcare)

As you read this message, Senate Republicans are debating and voting on one horrible Trumpcare proposal after another. Proposals that would take health insurance from as many as 32 million Americans, make health care unaffordable to all but the wealthiest in this country, and dismantle protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Dear MoveOn member,

For weeks, key Republicans said that they wouldn't vote to move forward on the Senate version of Trumpcare.

And then, they caved.

Now, as you read this message, Senate Republicans are debating and voting on one horrible Trumpcare proposal after another. Proposals that would take away health insurance from as many as 32 million Americans, make health care unaffordable to all but the wealthiest in this country, and dismantle protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Their goal is pass some version—any version—of their cruel bill. Health care is 1/6th of the U.S. economy and, for many Americans, what happens in the next 24 to 48 hours will mean the difference between life and death.

This is it. The moment of truth. The resistance needs to be louder, bigger, and stronger than ever before. Will you chip in $3 right now?

Yes, I'll chip in right now in this all-hands-on-deck moment to stop Trumpcare in the Senate.

Right-wing Koch-funded groups have been pouring money into TV ads to pressure Republicans to get in line and support something to repeal Obamacare.

That's why Republican senators, including Mike Lee, Dean Heller, and Jerry Moran, who just days ago said that they were absolutely against moving forward melted under the pressure.

And unless the senators who voted to move Trumpcare forward feel a massive backlash from their constituents, they'll surrender to Trump and the Koch brothers yet again.

So here's the emergency plan that we're rolling out:

  • Emergency alerts to activists with Republican senators. Over the next 24 hours, we will use advanced analytics and phone technology to empower volunteer teams to email, call, and send text messages to millions of folks who are represented by a Republican senator—and urge them to keep the phone lines of those Republicans ringing off the hook. We will also invite them to in-person rallies and events outside Senate offices.
  • Emergency video production and online ads. We will produce rapid-response digital advertisements targeting vulnerable senators—like Republican Dean Heller of Nevada—and run online ads to make sure that their constituents know what's happening.
  • Save Our Health Care rallies on Capitol Hill. We are rallying outside the Capitol to focus national media on the grassroots opposition to this bill.
  • Door-to-door MoveOn canvasses in key states. We're knocking on doors and talking to voters in key states about where their senators stand on Trumpcare.

Here's the bottom line: If Republicans are able to get some version of Trumpcare through the Senate, it’ll likely be extremely difficult to stop it from becoming law. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment, with tens of thousands of lives—and quality of life for tens of millions more—in the balance.

Will you chip in $3 right now in this red-alert moment to stop Trumpcare?

Yes, I'll chip in now to stop Trumpcare.

Thanks for all you do.

Investigate profits being made by Trump in his visits to Mar-a-Lago and N.J. golf courses


Dear MoveOn member,

I'm Linda Zabielski, a MoveOn member in Aurora, IL, and I started a petition to President Donald Trump, which says:

No other president in history has spent as much time vacationing at personally owned locations at the expense of American citizens. The cost for putting up all the secret service protection is exorbitant and should be at his own expense except for a few vacations a year. I don't want my tax dollars paying to allow Donald Trump to show off Maralago to feed his ego.

We shouldn't be paying for these exorbitant costs when people are without health care, food or other necessities.

Thanks!

Boy Scouts

We the undersigned ask the Boy Scouts of America to release a statement recognizing that it will stay true to its spirit as a national organization.

Dear MoveOn member,

During his address to the 2017 National Scouting Jamboree, Donald Trump delivered a highly politicized and divisive speech that is against the patriotic spirit of the Boy Scouts of America.1

Will you join me in demanding that the Boy Scouts of America stand by its values and honor by denouncing Trump's jamboree speech that was filled with explicitly partisan rhetoric?

We the undersigned ask the Boy Scouts of America to release a statement recognizing that it will stay true to its spirit as a national organization where efforts are made for all to feel welcome and that the explicitly partisan rhetoric of Donald Trump's speech, such as encouraging "boo's" of his predecessor, was wrong.


I am a proud Eagle Scout who was an active Scout for twelve years, from Tiger Scouting through Cub Scouting and into Boy Scouting. As someone with different political values than the current president, I found his remarks at the Jamboree to be alienating and the use of the Boy Scouts as a prop by him to be dispiriting.

Thanks!

NO DESPAIR

I'm as angry as you are after watching the GOP vote to advance Trumpcare a few moments ago. Their plan is heartless and cruel. Today's vote has sent a cold chill down the spines of those who stand to lose their health care or face higher premiums if Trumpcare actually becomes law.

Dear MoveOn member,

I'm as angry as you are after watching the GOP vote to advance Trumpcare a few moments ago.

Their plan is heartless and cruel. Today's vote has sent a cold chill down the spines of those who stand to lose their health care or face higher premiums if Trumpcare actually becomes law.

We're going to fight like hell this week to defeat this historically unpopular repeal, and that means we need to show vulnerable GOP senators who are up for reelection in 2018 that there will be consequences for voting to take health care away from millions of us and our brothers, sisters, and friends.

Can you rush an urgent contribution of $3 TODAY to help us accelerate our electoral organizing strategy in states like Nevada and Arizona and fuel our grassroots resistance to Trumpcare? Help us send a powerful message that if you vote to take away people's health care, then we're going to vote to take away your job.

Trumpcare has been a political nightmare for Republicans planning to run in 2018, with Democrats leading in swing states by a whopping 10 points.

A 10-point lead could turn the tides in a midterm election year, which is the kind of thing that might scare Republicans into doing the right thing on health care.

On top of strengthening our electoral strategy targeted at vulnerable Republican senators, we're doing:

  • Emergency alerts to activists with Republican senators. Over the next 24 hours, we will use advanced analytics and phone technology to empower volunteer teams to email, call, and send text messages to millions of folks who are represented by a Republican senator—and urge them to keep the phone lines of those Republicans ringing off the hook. We will also invite them to in-person rallies and events outside Senate offices.
  • Emergency video production and online ads. We will produce rapid-response digital advertisements targeting vulnerable senators—like Republican Dean Heller of Nevada—and run online ads to make sure that their constituents know what's happening.
  • Save Our Health Care rallies on Capitol Hill. We are rallying outside the Capitol to focus national media on the grassroots opposition to this bill.

The hard truth is that we're heading into the fight of our lives—but one that we can win if progressives come together right here, right now to create a massive backlash against Trump and Republicans for this catastrophic bill.

Will you rush a donation of $3 today to help us fight back and defeat Trumpcare, while showing the Republicans there will be consequences for their votes come 2018?

This is not a moment to despair. It's not over yet. We need to keep calling, writing, marching, and shouting until the Republicans stop trying to take away our health care.

Thanks so much for all you do.

RIGHT NOW: Click the big red button to stop Trumpcare

Trumpcare is being voted on TODAY. If we FLOOD Congress with calls, we still have a chance to kill this bill.

Dear MoveOn member,

Senate Republican leaders are planning a Trumpcare vote TODAY.1

It could all be over this week—or Mitch McConnell could drag it out longer as he wrangles the votes he needs. Either way, we have to act now in order to stop this bill.

Democratic senators like yours are already united against this bill. But you can still take action to make a difference! Just click the big red button:

Democrats are already united against this bill. But you can still take action to make a difference! Just scroll up and click the big red button.

Or, if you'd prefer not to click the button, here are three things you can do today:

  1. Call your Democratic Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten E. Gillibrand at 855-912-2982. Democrats are united against Trumpcare, but you should thank them for doing all they can to fight, and urge them to use every tactic at their disposal to slow and stop this bill. Ask them to join the filibuster-by-amendment (a way of slowing down the bill with a high number of amendments when the bill does come to a vote) and—this is crucial—to not vote for any amendments that will help Republicans pass Trumpcare.

  2. Urge your friends and family across America to call their senators at 855-912-2982. It's easy! Just click here to share our Facebook post on your wall and click here to tweet. You can also write personal notes to friends and family, especially those who live in Alaska, West Virginia, Ohio, Nevada, Maine, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Arkansas. Be sure to include the phone number they should call: 855-912-2982.

  3. Donate. We never anticipated that the fight over Trumpcare would continue so long. Each additional extension is a victory for the resistance! But we are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars per week to defeat Trumpcare. Each week, tens of thousands of phone calls need to be connected to Congress. More ads need to be run. And more rallies need to be organized. Click here to chip in $3, or whatever you can afford.
Thanks for all you do.

It starts with you, Eddie

We are not powerless. Will you start your own MoveOn petition on an issue that matters to you?

Help create a movement for change: Start a petition

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

I'm Patrick McHeffey, a MoveOn member from New York. When I first read that President Trump was considering withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement, I was tempted to feel defeated; to feel powerless. How could the whims of one man be allowed to impact the world in so disastrous a manner?

But instead of giving up, I started my first petition on MoveOn.org to send an impassioned statement to our leaders and to the world that in spite of Trump's shortsighted decision, we can and will remain as committed as ever to mitigating climate change.

It turned out I wasn't the only one who felt that way: More than 500,000 people signed on to my petition in less than four days. And just a few days later, I personally delivered my petition signatures along with 2 million more to the United Nations, urging world leaders to move forward on climate action.

We are not powerless. We are not defeated. We can and will change the world.

Will you join me by creating your own MoveOn petition on an issue that matters to you? Click here to get started.

If you don't have any campaign experience ... don't worry! Getting started is easy.

After I created my petition, MoveOn gave me the support I needed to run my campaign. I used MoveOn's campaign tips and guides, emailed volunteers for help when needed, and sent important messages and updates to the other MoveOn members who signed my petition, organizing them to share the petition with their friends and family—and even start their own campaigns to take action on climate change.

Since I started my petition, MoveOn members in more than 36 states have started petitions calling on their governors to join the U.S. Climate Alliance and uphold the Paris Agreement at the state level. And we're still just getting started.

So don't feel defeated. Click here to start your own MoveOn petition today, and help create a movement for change.

Thanks for all you do.

RED ALERT: Trumpcare vote planned for tomorrow

RED ALERT: According to media reports, Senate Republicans are planning to hold a pivotal Trumpcare vote tomorrow morning—a "motion to proceed" that will begin debate on a bill to yank away health care from tens of millions of people.

Dear MoveOn member,

RED ALERT: According to media reports, Senate Republicans are planning to hold a pivotal Trumpcare vote tomorrow morning—a "motion to proceed" that will begin debate on a bill to yank away health care from tens of millions of people.1

If we lose, it'll give Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell huge momentum for the final vote.

Democrats are already united against this bill. But you can still take action to make a difference! Here are three things you can do:

  1. Call your Democratic Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten E. Gillibrand at 855-912-2982. Democrats are united against Trumpcare, but you should thank them for doing all they can to fight, and urge them to use every tactic at their disposal to slow and stop this bill. Ask them to join the filibuster-by-amendment (a way of slowing down the bill with a high number of amendments when the bill does come to a vote) and—this is crucial—to not vote for any amendments that will help Republicans pass Trumpcare.

Tonight: Ready to Resist Call—#RealTalk on Trumpcare

Join tonight's July national Ready to Resist call to help make sense of the health care roller coaster with leading activists around the country.

Dear Eddie,

Will you invite your friends to join tonight's call? Click here to share info about the call on Facebook. And click here to share info about the call on Twitter.

Here's what we'll cover this evening!


The Trumpcare zombie just came back to life—and may face its moment of truth just days from now.

For months, our movement has succeeded in revealing this disastrous legislation for what it is, delaying it and turning a done deal into an albatross for Republicans in the Senate. But the days ahead are unwritten, and we need to be stronger now than ever before.

Join the July Ready to Resist mass movement call, this Sunday, July 23 at 8 p.m. ET (7 CT/6 MT/5 PT) for some #RealTalk on Trumpcare—including our successes in stopping it so far and how the next few days may unfold—and to prepare for the upcoming August congressional recess.


We know we face real challenges—still with health care, and with the Muslim Ban, relentless attacks on immigrants and undocumented youth, the constitutionality of this president, and much more. And yet, our movement is growing strong. Even Republican senators are admitting that "the health care resistance is working."1

This Sunday's speakers and trainers will do what they do best, breaking down the state of play and the actions each of us can take to continue to have the kind of collective impact that is already changing history:

  • Ben Wikler, Washington director for MoveOn, will join us for the third installment of his lively updates on the health care fight from the nation's capitol as we head into a crucial, possibly make-or-break week.

  • Rusty Williams is a fourth-generation, lifelong resident of West Virginia and a leader with West Virginia Citizen Action. When he was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 and left without insurance, Rusty became active in advocating for patients' rights. Trump is headed to West Virginia Monday in a last-ditch effort to persuade Senator Shelley Moore Capito to support his disastrous health care plan, which would cripple the Medicaid program that 30% of West Virginians count on for health care. Rusty will tell the story of how West Virginians have effectively organized to stop Sen. Capito from taking away their health care.

  • Mari Cordes, Marcia Dinkins, and Biola Jeje will lead a short training on how to hold members of Congress accountable for their votes during the upcoming monthlong August congressional recess. Mari Cordes has been a registered nurse for 30 years and is the former local union president of Vermont Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals and a founding board member of Rights and Democracy Vermont. Marcia Dinkins is the executive director of the Mahoning Valley Organizing Collaborative in Youngstown, Ohio. Biola Jeje is National Organizer with Resist Here, a project of the Working Families Organization.

  • Jennifer Epps-Addison, President and Co-Executive Director of the Center for Popular Democracy, will host the conversation.

It was conventional wisdom after the November election that Trump and Republicans in Washington would repeal Obamacare and take away our health care right away—literally, it could have happened on day one of the new administration.

Because we've continually raised our voices together, 181 days into the Trump administration, we've protected our health care and changed the conversation to continue pressing for Medicare for All.

Thanks for all you do.

Shameful

With a vote expected next week, this may be our last chance to stop Trumpcare.

Dear MoveOn member,

Let's talk about Trumpcare.

Trumpcare, at its heart, is not a health care bill. It's a bill to take away health care from the middle class, the elderly, the sick, and the poor—and hand the money to special interests such as insurance companies and Big Pharma.

It's a moral atrocity. And, with a vote now expected next week, this may be our last chance to stop it.1

If just three Republicans vote no, Trumpcare is dead. And if the bill doesn't pass before Congress leaves town for its August recess, then even Senate Leader Mitch McConnell himself admits that Trumpcare is probably dead for good. When that happens, he'll have to (gasp!) work with Democrats to shore up the health markets under the Affordable Care Act.

We have to make the next few days count. I can tell you from my years in Washington that votes can flip on a dime, and party pressure can be so intense that it feels as though the walls are closing in on you from every direction.

And Mitch McConnell is editing the bill every day to try to find the votes. He's trying to bring the holdouts on board with policies that are micro-targeted at their state—effectively bribes (even though these offerings are virtually meaningless compared to the pain and suffering that will be caused by the massive loss of health care and vicious cuts to Medicaid). He even took the unheard-of step of keeping senators in D.C. for two extra weeks—until August 11—to try to force a vote.

It won't be easy to stop Trumpcare for good, but I believe in MoveOn's ability to do it. They are organizing events to pressure on-the-fence senators (including, recently, huge rallies with Bernie Sanders that were all over the news), flooding those same senators with calls, making compelling videos with heart-wrenching stories, helping lead daily rallies in Washington, D.C., to focus national media on the grassroots opposition to this bill, and more.

Please, click this link to chip in $3 to help MoveOn organize rallies, flood lawmakers with phone calls, run ads, and do everything humanly possible to stop Trumpcare in this final stretch.

Thanks for all you do.

Huge milestone. Let's keep it up.

Thanks to you, the latest GOP proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act and gut Medicaid is collapsing.

Dear MoveOn member,

Thanks to you, the latest GOP proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act and gut Medicaid is collapsing.

Over the past few days, the momentum has shifted radically against the GOP's attack on health care. We could be on the verge of a historic victory, if we keep the pressure up.

On Monday night, enough Republican senators came out against the Trumpcare bill to kill its chances in the Senate. Then Mitch McConnell changed tacks, announcing that he'd hold a vote on a repeal of Obamacare without a replacement.1

By this afternoon, three Republican senators—Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Shelley Moore Capito—announced that they'll vote no on that, too.2 If they do, the vote will fail.

McConnell announced tonight that the vote will be held one week from now, and Senate Republicans are meeting with Trump tomorrow.

As we've seen, GOP plans can change at lightning speed—so it's vital that we keep up maximum pressure, demanding as many commitments to vote no as possible. We can't let down our guard.

But right now?

We're winning.

The passage of time has a way of making events seem inevitable in retrospect. If the repeal effort does, in fact, grind to a halt, people will say that it was doomed all along. But when Trump was first elected and Republicans said they'd repeal the Affordable Care Act "immediately" and "on Day 1," a huge loss seemed all but certain.3 A situation like this was barely imaginable.

Let's take a moment to remember what really happened. It's an extraordinary story of transforming the seemingly impossible into the inevitable. That's what social movements do. And that's what we've got now: a movement.

Think of all the twists and turns.

MoveOn's first national day of action against Trumpcare came on December 20, 2016. Protests in dozens of cities nationwide, with thousands participating. Then we started hitting the phones, with tens of thousands of appeals from constituents to elected officials.

Next came January 15, 2017: "Our First Stand," as they called it, a wave of public demonstrations on health care sparked by Bernie Sanders. By then, the GOP was already growing wary. Then came the unforgettable Women's March. And then that first congressional recess in February—the first "Resistance Recess"—when 100,000 people flooded town hall meetings and told their senators and representatives that their lives were on the line, and they were ready to fight to defend them.

The House Republicans' response to the February Resistance Recess was to come home and schedule a vote on their hideous bill at breakneck speed, with no hearings or consultations. Protests multiplied. Republicans balked—on both the hard-right and moderate wings of the GOP caucus. MoveOn members and allies lit up the phone lines.

On the day of the vote, MoveOn members alone made 30,000 calls to House Republicans. In Washington, D.C., we gathered to protest the bill's passage—and suddenly, moments before the rally began, Paul Ryan canceled the vote. "Obamacare is the law of the land for the foreseeable future," he announced.4 It was hard to believe. Joined now by Nancy Pelosi, we literally jumped for joy:

Nancy Pelosi victory jump

That was the 24th of March, a wonderful day. But, as it turned out, it was too good to be true.

Paul Ryan was lying. As the news media moved on to other stories, the ultraconservative Freedom Caucus was busily negotiating an amendment to make Trumpcare drastically worse. Suddenly, the bill was back on track. And a group of so-called Republican moderates, rather than rejecting a bill that had grown even more cruel to their constituents, utterly lost their backbones and caved.

In that moment of crisis, MoveOn members pulled out all the stops—massing in protest, funding planes dragging anti-Trumpcare banners over Republicans' home towns, frantically flooding Republicans' offices with calls. It wasn't enough. On May 4, 219 Republicans voted to pass Trumpcare, casting a vote that will haunt them for the rest of their political careers. Many will lose their seats because of it (we'll help see to that!).

As they left the Capitol, MoveOn protestors were waiting outside, chanting "SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!" as House Republicans boarded a bus to sip champagne and celebrate with Trump in the Rose Garden.

That's when the die-ins began. The resistance had entered a new phase. If the bill passed the Senate, the consequences would be lethal.

Working with a unified array of allies—from Indivisible and People's Action to Planned Parenthood and Ultraviolet, from unions like the SEIU and AFSCME to nonpartisan groups like AARP, and with coalition efforts like Protect Our Care and Health Care for America Now, MoveOn turned the pressure up as far as it could go. Alongside progressive movement allies like CREDO, the Working Families Party, and Our Revolution, we pressed Democrats to stand and fight—to shut down business as usual in the Senate as Republicans negotiated their bill in secret. As Democrats ramped up their opposition, the media, which had once more fallen asleep at the switch, finally perked up and took notice that insurance for 22 million Americans was on the verge of incineration. McConnell vowed a vote on his bill by the end of June—so we went on the road with Bernie Sanders, drawing crowds of thousands for last-minute protest events in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

Bernie Sanders rally to stop Trumpcare

We joined partners for relentless demonstrations outside of district offices. We cheered for disability rights activists from ADAPT as they parked wheelchairs in McConnell's office and refused to leave—chanting "No cuts to Medicaid!" even as they were dragged out by police officers—and then repeated the tactic in other GOP offices in D.C. and around the country. On the night before the voting was to begin, a group of Democrats and activists gathered for an impromptu conversation on the steps of the Capitol that turned into a roaring rally. And then, fearing a loss, McConnell—as Ryan had done before him—yanked the bill, delaying the vote.

But we'd collectively learned our lesson from the House—and didn't pause for a second.

Over the Fourth of July recess, activists drove home opposition to the health care bill every time a senator appeared in public. As senators returned to Washington, D.C., doctors, patients, and activists from the Center for Popular Democracy, HousingWorks, and other groups staged simultaneous sit-ins in more than a dozen GOP Senate offices. Calls poured in, ads aired on television, and medically fragile children—dubbed "the Little Lobbyists"—walked from office to office in the Senate to tell Republicans not to take away the care that kept them alive. Citizens and Democrats rallied and spoke out, and Republicans tried to dodge cameras and constituents to avoid answering for the cruel legislation they were poised to pass.

And then, at last, the wheels came off the GOP bus. Just as in the House, they moved the bill to the right to please the Ted Cruz conservatives. But even that wasn't enough for Rand Paul and Mike Lee.

Today, they moved it further right, attempting to repeal the Affordable Care Act without a replacement. This time, it was the moderates—subject of an avalanche of pressure for six solid months—who refused to go along. And suddenly, just like that, the bill appears dead.

Republicans promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act for seven years. They gained total control of the House, Senate, and White House. They have enough House and Senate seats to keep their promise. But they don't have the people.

And, as the saying goes, the power of the people is greater than the people in power.

It doesn't always work this way. We can't expect to win every fight of the Trump era. Even in this fight, something could still suddenly change. But especially given how rare these moments are, it's important to mark and celebrate the times when our fight is succeeding.

So what comes next?

First, we need to make sure zombie Trumpcare stays in its grave. Remember, McConnell is still insisting on a vote next week on repealing the Affordable Care Act, even though he doesn't have the votes to pass it—apparently because he wants to be able to say he tried before moving on to tax cuts for billionaires. We need to make absolutely sure that vote goes down in flames. But even after that, even if Republicans can't repeal it legislatively, Trump will keep trying to sabotage it through executive action. And Trump’s budget calls for hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid. We still have to resist with all our might.

And it's also time to look ahead. We must hold accountable everyone who voted for this hideous bill or came close to supporting it—and prepare to throw dozens of Republicans out of Congress next fall. And it's time to rally Democrats in support of the visionary step forward that America still desperately needs: Medicare for All. 

Defending health care has taken millions of dollars over the past six months. Now we must hold Republicans accountable and fight for a better system for everyone. If you can contribute, please help out with a $3 donation now.

Yes, I'm in! I'll chip in now to help win the final vote, hold Republican lawmakers accountable for Trumpcare, and rally Democrats to embrace Medicare for All.

These fights await us. Stay tuned for opportunities to take action.

But until the next battle comes, let's take a moment to share a deep breath. On behalf of the tens of thousands of people whose lives, so far, have been saved, the tens of millions whose coverage has been preserved, and the hundreds of millions of Americans whose protections themselves have been protected ... thank you!

Thank you for fighting.

Thank you for believing this was possible, for not giving up hope.

Thanks for all you do.
