What is MoveOn all about?

MoveOn is dedicated to realizing the potential of the Internet to democratize politics. With a system that today revolves around big money and big media, most citizens are left out. When it becomes clear that our "representatives" don't represent the public, the foundations of democracy are in peril. MoveOn and the Internet will be a catalyst for a new kind of grassroots involvement, supporting busy but concerned citizens in finding their political voice.

What does MoveOn do?

When there is a disconnect between broad public opinion and legislative action, MoveOn builds electronic advocacy groups. Examples of such issues are impeachment, gun safety, nuclear disarmament, and campaign finance. Once a group is assembled, MoveOn provides information and tools to help each individual have the greatest possible impact. As an example, during impeachment, MoveOn's grassroots advocates generated more than 250,000 phone calls and a million emails to Congress. We helped Congress come to understand the depth of public opposition to impeachment.

What is "We will remember"?

Many representatives actively disregarded constituent feedback and recklessly continued their partisan pursuit of impeachment. For these politicians, our only alternative is electoral action. It's time for a change in Congress. We need new talent and new vision. We need a focus on issues, not partisanship. Broadening public support for congressional campaigns will be key in making this possible. Through the MoveOn.org "We will remember" campaign, more than 30,000 individuals have pledged their time and money to year 2000 congressional campaigns. MoveOn is already highlighting good candidates who have challenged unresponsive incumbents.
