MoveOn’s Reaction to the McCutcheon Decision

Our Democracy Shouldn’t Be Sold to the Highest Bidder

These reforms are vital for making elections accessible to as many Bay Staters as possible. That’s why Sara Brady of the organization MassVOTE started several MoveOn Petitions to the legislature, encouraging them to pass the bill.
VICTORY: Senate Passes Filibuster Reform

That’s why Sara Brady of the organization MassVOTE started several MoveOn Petitions asking members of the Massachusetts General Court to stand up for the state’s voters and pass the bill.
