Washington, D.C. – Following twice-impeached President Trump’s fourth criminal indictment, MoveOn Political Action is calling on No Labels to disavow Trump. In addition to the group’s lack of action surrounding Trump’s arrests, No Labels has yet to admonish Trump for his role in the January 6 insurrection and even granted him their “Problem Solver” Award in 2016. No Labels has been dishonestly arguing that any opposition to its bid is anti-democratic, yet they have been conspicuously absent in disavowing Trump’s attempts to overthrow the election and speaking to the fact that their third-party effort…

Together, MoveOn members’ activism stopped Republicans in Congress from dragging all of us into a catastrophic…

  The LGBTQ+ community, particularly transgender folks, is under attack from Republicans. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, nearly 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have gone before state legislatures since the start of this year alone, and anti-trans bills have doubled since 2022.
