Dear Progressives,
Earlier this week I wrote to
you – I pleaded with you – to wake up, get mad, and raise hell. I know I'm
about as subtle as a kick to the groin, but when I said that we're screwed if
we don't mobilize the grassroots, I meant it.
Why? Because when reporters ask
me if I think we can beat President Donald Trump in 2020, here's what I tell
them: If we don't radically fix our democracy right now, we may not get to
2020.
If you don't believe the most
important fight of our lives needs to happen right now, over the next six
weeks, you must be on a different planet. Can you chip in, right now, to help
hundreds of Our Revolution groups elect real progressives this November?
DONATE to Our Revolution at:
Do you know who the biggest voting bloc in 2016 was? It was the 100 million voters who stayed at home and didn't vote. If that isn't a national emergency, I don't know what is.
I'll be honest, if we think
for one second that we can win this November using the same incremental
strategy used by establishment campaigns, we don't stand a chance in hell. The
only way we're going to win is through grassroots organizing, neighborhood by
neighborhood, door to door. I'm not saying it's easy, but it's not rocket
science.
My new movie – Fahrenheit 11/9
– comes out in theaters today. I know it'll make you angry – with Trump, with
Wall Street, with multinational corporate criminals, and with the political
establishment. But it should also give you the motivation you need to DO
something about it before November.
It will be opening in more
than 1,700 theaters across the country, the largest ever opening for a
non-fiction film. I encourage you all to use this film as an organizing tool –
register voters, connect with your neighbors, collect email addresses, or go
canvassing straight from the theater!
You haven't shied away from
the fights people said were impossible. Instead, you've made them reachable:
Medicare for All, tuition-free public college, getting big money out of
politics, getting serious about our climate – these are all things we can make
happen together.
The political revolution is
within reach, but it isn't going to trickle down from the top. The revolution
has to come from right here – the people.
One way you can help right now
is by giving directly to support Our Revolution's grassroots organizing.
Hope to see you at the theater
this weekend!
In solidarity,
Michael Moore
