MoveOn is where millions mobilize for a better society—one where everyone can thrive.
We believe a more equitable, sustainable, and just society is possible—and that our members will be the ones to get us there. Whether it’s supporting a candidate, passing legislation, or changing our culture, MoveOn members are committed to an inclusive and progressive future.
Together, we are both large and nimble, targeting our resources purposefully, yet pivoting quickly as we identify new opportunities for change and mobilize to seize them. Our rapid-response organizing, strategic campaigning, and culture of grassroots activism fuel real-world impact.
MoveOn members are a force for social justice and political progress, coming from all 50 states and walks of life. We are the many, and we are powerful. Every day, together, we fight to win. It’s what we’ve always done, and what we’re built to do.
MoveOn.org Civic Action is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that focuses on education and advocacy, provides civic engagement tools to the public, and builds the progressive movement by encouraging and supporting the development of more grassroots leaders. MoveOn.org Civic Action is home to MoveOn Petitions, our online petition tool that empowers MoveOn members to lead and win their own MoveOn campaigns.
Most of MoveOn.org Civic Action’s funding comes in the form of modest contributions from MoveOn members. View our gift acceptance policy here.

MoveOn.org Political Action is a federal political action committee (PAC) which primarily helps members elect candidates who reflect our members’ values through a variety of activities aimed at influencing the outcome of elections. We are focused on running powerful progressive advocacy campaigns and demonstrating MoveOn members’ power at the ballot box.
In contrast to most PACs that funnel industry contributions to candidates in exchange for access, MoveOn.org Political Action collects hundreds of thousands of small donations together to elect progressive candidates who will represent the American people.

Ahead of the 2006 midterms, MoveOn members placed over 7 million calls to registered voters during phone banks.
In 2008, MoveOn members endorsed a candidate in the presidential election for the first time: Barack Obama.
In the 2010s, MoveOn pushed for unity over hatred. In 2016, MoveOn began more than a decade of anti-Trump resistance that continues on today. Campaigns like United Against Hate and Families Belong Together mobilization push for peace and unity in a time of division and uncertainty.
With the endorsement and election of Joe Biden for president in 2020, MoveOn launches a campaign to “Mobilize, Inspire, and Protect" the vote. Voting rights remain a keystone issue for MoveOn and its members.

In 2026, MoveOn Political Action launched its most ambitious election plan to date.
