description
MoveOn is a U.S.-based progressive advocacy and organizing network that runs both a 501(c)(4) civic advocacy arm (MoveOn.org Civic Action) and a federal political committee/PAC (MoveOn.org Political Action). The organization mobilizes members around national policy and electoral issues, runs petitions, builds and promotes campaigns, and supports candidates who reflect its values.
MoveOn’s activities include digital petition drives, volunteer recruitment and training, events and livestreams, grassroots mobilization and protest support, targeted electoral work through its PAC, public education and advocacy on policy issues, and fundraising. The site publishes news and blog content, provides resources on organizing (how-to guides), and offers ways for members to take action (sign petitions, attend events, donate, volunteer).
The organization’s stated focus areas on the site include electing progressive leaders, protecting and expanding voting rights and elections infrastructure, fighting for universal healthcare, racial justice/solidarity with the Movement for Black Lives, opposing perceived authoritarian actions, and other progressive public-policy campaigns.
