EDUCATION & ADVOCACY - PUBLIC POLICY: IN 2021, MOVEON MEMBERS HARNESSED THEIR COLLECTIVE POWER THROUGH PETITION DELIVERIES, PROTESTS, AND GRASSROOTS ENERGY TO ADDRESS A RANGE OF ISSUES. MEMBERS MOBILIZED TO SAFEGUARD OUR DEMOCRACY, FIGHT MISINFORMATION, AND DEMAND INVESTMENT IN OUR CHILDREN, HEALTH CARE, AND PLANET. WHEN 19 STATES ENACTED LAWS THAT WILL MAKE IT HARDER TO VOTE, MOVEON QUICKLY PRODUCED EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS THAT WERE ROLLED OUT ON OUR SOCIAL CHANNELS TO SHAPE THE NARRATIVE AROUND ABOLISHING THE FILIBUSTER AND EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE SURGE OF ANTI-VOTING LAWS. WE ALSO PRODUCED VIDEOS TO ENCOURAGE SUPPORT FOR PROPELLING THE BUILD BACK BETTER ACT FORWARD. ULTIMATELY, THE BILL WAS PASSED IN THE HOUSE.

EDUCATION & ADVOCACY - FOREIGN POLICY:IN MAY 2021, MOVEON WAS THE FIRST MULTI-ISSUE PROGRESSIVE ORGANIZATION TO PUT OUT A STATEMENT SPECIFICALLY CALLING ON PRESIDENT BIDEN TO DE-ESCALATE THE CRISIS IN PALESTINE AND ISRAEL AS IT INTENSIFIED. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, MORE THAN 70,000 MOVEON MEMBERS SIGNED A PETITION CALLING FOR A CEASEFIRE IN PALESTINE.
