I’ve signed on with them too as am also terrified of authoritarian trend, esp Heritage Foundation using Trump as front man. Let’s keep using our voices and all resources to stop them.
I supported Movement Voter Project in the last election and was so pleased with the grassroots way they do their work, and the fantastic educational and invitations for involvement, that I ended up making a larger contribution than I have ever made before. Thank you Meg for promoting this group. There are many GOTV groups out there…and many good ones….yet these folks tap into successful organizations that already have a base in their communities and create ways for the diverse groups to communicate, share their lessons to learn from each other, and to cheer on their accomplishments…which at times are most important! They also focus on marginalized communities so those groups are motivated to take the time to vote in the midst of their often too busy lives.

I have hopes for this group, too, and am happy to support them rather than just wringing my hands in worry and fear.

Yes, I was impressed positively when I came across them... and chagrined that I hadn't already heard! So glad now to be on board!
Thank you for pointing to this group! Sounds like a good way to channel that nervous energy. Your exuberant neighbor is inspiring, too!
Thank you for your post. I share your need to do something. I am writing letters with Vote Forward.
