Our country is in a crisis, and stakes in 2018 couldn't be higher. Since Donald Trump took office, MoveOn members have been a pillar of the resistance to the radical policies coming out of Congress and the White House. In this election, MoveOn will mobilize a grassroots wave to take back our government and create a nation where all can thrive one marked by justice, sustainability, economic security, peace, and mutual care.
