Friends,
Starting right now and running thru the election, join with thousands of others and visit my Substack or YouTube channel to watch, for FREE, Fahrenheit 11/9 — my acclaimed documentary on how we ended up with Donald Trump and what we need to do to get rid of him.
And I know what you’re thinking, “Oh God! That’s right, we never got rid of him!” That’s why this 2018 film actually provides the answer for 2024.
The full movie is embedded above so you can watch it right now and right here. Or you can watch — and share — this YouTube link.
Please help me spread the word. I would love for as many people as possible to watch this movie this weekend. I think it is a very good reminder of who we are fighting against and what we are fighting for.
Fahrenheit 11/9 was first released in the middle of Trump’s first (and only) term as President. To me, the film represents THE Trump Story — the story of how we got here and how we can get out of it. It’s not so much a movie about Donald Trump — although he is one of the main characters. It’s a funny and infuriating film about how we, as a country, arrived at a time that could allow this man to be President. And more than anything, it’s about the young people and the working people who are motivated and mobilized to stop him.
And now we must stop him again.
Tune in! Watch now! Watch with friends! Share the link!
And I’ll see you at the movies.
— Mike
P.S. I will also be joining Ari Melber on MSNBC, tomorrow (Friday), during the 6 o’clock hour to share my thoughts on where we are at just days before the election and offer fresh ideas on what each of us can still do to make sure Donald Trump stays far away from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
** In order to have a troll-free, hate-free comments section — and because if there’s one thing I know about my crazy haters, they would rather spend an eternity in hell with Marjorie Taylor Greene than send me $5 if forced to become a paid subscriber — my Comments section here on my Substack is limited to paid subscribers. But, not to worry — anyone can send me their comments, opinions and thoughts by writing to me at mike@michaelmoore.com. I read every one of them, though obviously I can’t respond to all. And every few weeks or so I share them publicly here on Substack and on my podcast so that your voice is heard by the multitudes in this wonderful community of readers and listeners. The solution here is not optimal but it has worked and my Comments section has become a great meeting place for people wanting to discuss the ideas and issues I raise here. There is debate and disagreement, but it is refreshing to have it done with respect and civility, unfettered by the stench of bigotry and Q-anon insanity.
Watch the movie and then HELP SWING STATES ELECT HARRIS!
Get on board, folks. Phonebanking and more is happening right up to and including November Fifth. SEED THE VOTE is even paying travel/lodging for folks to go to swing states and canvass. I UPDATED THIS LIST 10/29 BASED ON THOSE GROUPS I KNOW CONTINUE TO BE ACTIVE AND NEED VOLUNTEERS.
If you would like to work with a non-profit or other groups that want to elect Harris and are not funded by the Democratic Party, there are many organizations that are working hard to help swing states get Harris elected. Please help, no matter where in the world you live. I welcome you to copy and share this list with others. Thank you.
PHONEBANKING and DONATIONS are the primary options, with some CANVASSING and TEXTING also possible. PHONEBANKING is done without revealing your phone number. I do not know how that works with Texting.
Experts who study these things have seen that such simple actions as personal phone calls or texts to specifically identified voters can and do make a difference. The organizations below are either the experts or are groups that partner with the experts. Some of these organizations promote who to vote for, while others just encourage infrequent voters to vote, knowing that the people they contact typically vote Democratic. All of these groups can benefit from your time and/or your donations (some of which can be tax-deductible).
