Something is happening across our country right now. The Democratic caucuses in Iowa saw nearly twice as many voters as expected.¹ Voter turnout among young people was three times higher than in 2004.² In New Hampshire, so many people voted that they almost ran out of ballots.³

For the first time in years, voters of all ages and backgrounds are inspired by what the future might hold. If we can sustain this excitement—and make sure it translates into progressive votes in November—we'll be inaugurating a progressive president exactly one year from today.

But that will take work, from all of us. We have to make sure every citizen who's eager for change actually shows up to the polls. We'll have to make sure they see through Republican spin. We'll have to counter the dirty tricks Republicans use to keep people from voting.

That's why MoveOn is planning the largest, most effective voter-turnout effort that progressives have ever run. Can you chip in $15 a month between now and the election to build a massive progressive voter-turnout campaign? It's easy and you can cancel at any time. Click below to get started.

If, a year from today, we inaugurate a new president who's accountable to progressives—coupled with a Democratic Congress and a country hungry for change—we could push for a wave of progressive policies that could literally transform our country. This could be our moment!

Ready for the best news? Our plan to win has been tested and proven—so, we're ready to turn this opportunity into a reality. It combines the most successful aspects of our big voter-turnout campaigns in 2004 and 2006.

We'll use highly effective neighbor-to-neighbor contact in swing states to persuade and get more voters to the polls. And we'll layer the massive phone-banking effort we ran in 2006 on top of it to turn out progressives in some of the tightest races in the country.

Here are a few highlights:

A high-tech voter persuasion program—to tip swing voters our way.

New sophisticated tools to connect volunteers to folks who probably won't vote without a reminder.

Fun house parties, modeled on our 2006 calling parties to increase our outreach to key voters.

Cutting-edge "microtargeting" to find every progressive voter, even those in Republican neighborhoods.

A new effort to target people who vote by mail and need to hear from us well before Election Day.

This November, we have an opportunity to push America into an era of progressive reform, but it's going to take a lot of hard work and we need to get started right away.
