MoveOn (formerly known as MoveOn.org) is a progressive public policy advocacy group and political action committee.[1] Formed in 1998 around one of the first massively viral email petitions,[2] MoveOn has since grown into one of the largest and most impactful[3] grassroots progressive campaigning communities in the United States, with a membership of millions.[4][5][6][7] MoveOn did not endorse a candidate during the 2020 presidential primary campaign; it then endorsed and actively supported Joe Biden in the general election.[7] MoveOn is currently endorsing Kamala Harris, the current Vice President of the United States, as the Democratic Party nominee for president in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.[8] Rahna Epting has been Executive Director of MoveOn Civic Action and MoveOn Political Action since 2019.[9]
