Dear MoveOn member,
The violence in Charlottesville was yet another example that white supremacy is a real and active threat in today's America—and that we all have work to do to confront and combat it in all its forms.
Will you join MoveOn, Indivisible, Color of Change, the Working Families Party, the Center for Popular Democracy, People's Action, #Resist, and other movement allies for an emergency Ready to Resist mass organizing call dedicated to a discussion of white supremacy and how to fight it?
Click here to RSVP for the call this Sunday, August 20 at 8 p.m. ET/7 CT/6 MT/5 PT.
You'll receive a phone call at the number you provide on the RSVP page at 8 p.m. ET this Sunday, or you can stream the call live via the link you'll see when you register.
Ready to Resist calls first launched the weekend of the Women's March and since have had hundreds of thousands of participants by phone and via Facebook—and if tens of thousands more join together this Sunday, it can help fuel the movement for justice and equality that we so desperately need in America today
White supremacists weren't just on the streets of Charlottesville. They and their allies are in the halls of power, their enablers and apologists appear across the media, and their symbols dot our country.
While Trump has fueled this hatred, he did not create it—and if we are to fight that hatred, we need to have no illusions that Charlottesville was an isolated incident.

As neo-Nazis and white supremacists from the so-called "alt-right" terrorized Charlottesville, many people were stunned by the visuals of swastikas and torches.
But many people were already all too familiar with the ongoing presence of white supremacist organizations and policies in our country today—and throughout our history as a nation.
Whether you've long confronted institutional and vigilante racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and anti-Semitism or it's a challenge new to you, this Sunday call is an essential place to gather for
- a discussion of white supremacy, its history in America, and what it looks like today;
- campaigns and opportunities to fight against this form of bigotry, its public symbols, and those in power who are tied to white supremacist organizations; and
- guidance for how to talk to your friends, neighbors, and family about this hateful right-wing movement, and how to challenge it in your own communities.
We cannot afford to think of what happened in Charlottesville as an isolated incident.
There is serious work to be done to challenge white supremacy, and this past weekend's events have only made the need for this work more starkly visible. Join this special Ready to Resist call to become further informed, engaged, and inspired. Together, we can resist white supremacy and the political leaders who fuel and capitalize on it.
Click here to RSVP for the call this Sunday, August 20 at 8 p.m. ET/7 CT/6 MT/5 PT.
Thanks for all you do.
