Before watching the movie, after watching the movie, or while watching the move, HELP VOTERS IN 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. SEVERAL OF THESE ORGS. FOCUS ON CONTACTING NON-VOTERS. 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).
PHONEBANKING and CANVASSING: The ENVIRONMENTAL VOTER PROJECT identifies millions of non-voting environmentalists and turns them into consistent voters. I have done canvassing and phonebanks with them. https://www.environmentalvoter.org/
PHONEBANKING and TEXTING: THIRD ACT primarily recruits Seniors as volunteers, but all are welcome. https://thirdact.org/
PHONEBANKING and CANVASSING: Programs with ACTIVATE AMERICA have Volunteers contact voters via Phonebanking, and Canvassing. https://www.activateamerica.vote/
PHONEBANKING and CANVASSING: SEED THE VOTE pays travel/lodging to canvass in Swing States and also teams up with organizations like SHOWING UP FOR RACIAL JUSTICE (SURJ) with phonebanking campaigns of volunteers calling voters in Swing States.
So I spent last night stuffing bags with campaign literature for a number of local candidates so that today's walkers will be set. My reward will be watching Fahrenheit 9/11. PS My sister got to see Kamala at the State Fair Grounds in WI last night. Woo hoo.
In Moore's Farenheight 9/11 from 2004, he severely criticizes warmonger Dick Cheney. Now Dick Cheney is voting for Kamala Harris. Isn't this additional proof that the Democrats have joined forces with the warmongers of America who used to be on the Republican side? Trump will end the Ukraine war which is why the warmongers have joined with Kamala Harris.
Just rewatched 11/9 such a powerful, brilliant film. It left me so deeply saddened. I'm living in such fear but more than that I feel I've lost. I've been on the fight since high school with Vietnam War protests, anti nuclear pprotests, on and on. This is not the world I envisioned for my retirement or my children's future. I vote, I participate, I try but I have to tell you I'm weary. Are humans this naive, we need to be working with all our forces to over come climate change and instead we're still chasing the power and money. Kind of feeling it's all going to implode, all things must pass maybe.
Ditto. But better to fight and be annoyed than to completely despair. Look to your left and right when you fight and know you have sisters and brothers with you. ❤️
When the historically aware half of the American voting population votes for “Christian” love over hate, it will be, in large part because of the profound messaging(s) of Michael Moore and Rachel Maddow. Thank you both. ❤️
Thank you for all you have done in this election cycle! I know you are concerned over the slaughter bibi is perpetrating in Gaza. We all are. I am confident that Harris/Walz will cut arms delivery to Israel and warn them not to use American weaponry against the innocent people they are committing genocide on. Think of the alternative. :-0!
What boggles my mind is that non-voters make up the largest single block of the electorate and won't vote because they are disillusioned with the two major parties. But if they voted for a third party, they would win the election hands down and defeat the two parties that have betrayed them.
Great movie! Painful to watch. I do understand why people do not vote. However, I vote and still work for candidates. Never with the same passion I worked for Obama and ended up deeply disappointed. Definitely not with the same passion I worked for Bernie Sanders. But I have hopes for Kamala and Tim Walsh and Trump is the worst of the worst. You are a brilliant filmmaker.
I have been extremely distraught about your article expressing the need for dems (and the Harris campaign in particular) to do something about the Palestinian population in Michigan.
200,000 + votes up in the air! Of course any sentient human cannot possibly look at what has happened in Gaza, Lebanon, and the left bank without feeling nauseous ! Of course we wish the Biden administration would act forcefully to end this atrocity.
But, and of course you knew there would be a But..
I realize you want and need our country to end this nightmare, But…
Do you really think giving Trump the US presidency will help ? You must see that Trump is part of what has motivated and empowered Netanyahu to take such deplorable actions !
Thinking a Trump administration may be on the horizon is a factor. Netanyahu and Trump are two faces of the same evil. Giving Trump the power to « root out the enemy within « doesn’t help anyone here or in the Middle East.
Why are Palestinians living in Michigan ? My guess would be they wanted to escape the injustice of their country of origin. Why then would it help anyone to bring another mad man to power here?
Our only hope is that Kamala will help restore justice and equity for all of us everywhere. Maybe it won’t happen as soon as we like, maybe it won’t happen as forcefully as we want or as completely as needed but hopefully she will steer us towards the right path and help us to see a light at the end of this tunnel !
She’s all we’ve got ! If we give her enough support maybe we can begin to move towards the right path.
Vote and vote with passion and force for our only best choice !
Thank you, MM, for your very encouraging segment on Ari Melber's show (I may watch it repeatedly until the Kamala Harris is declared the winner) and for your generosity in posting your movie for free. I can't actually bring myself to watch it. Heck, breathing almost seems to be a monumental task at this particular point in time. Forget the reminder - all I can think about is why we need to keep Trump out of the White House, and if I watch anymore about him, I feel like I may just freeze like a deer in the headlights. But I've been talking to everyone who will listen, especially my children's college age friends. We were fortunate to be able to attend the Harris rally here in Georgia recently, and we were talking to random people on the street afterwards. We also made sure to walk with our Harris/Walz sign very prominently on a busy road. (Several people honked.) My whole family has voted already. I'm generally seeing less Trump signage, so I'm hopeful that's a good sign. There does seem to be an energy buzzing about.
I just can’t finish watching it, so upsetting and sad. I’m so afraid that’s how it’s going to end again. America is just too misogynistic for a woman, so upsetting. My own daughter, who never votes, said she didn’t like Harris’s voice! WTF, her voice! I tried reasoning with her, but I should have said, “I'm glad you don’t use your voice!” But she’s one of those kids, now a grown woman, who liked to go against her parents… which would be alright, but this is such a woman’s issue for me. None of my business though, it’s her choice. Her daughter doesn’t vote either, but thank gawd one of her two sons does, and like his grandparents do, whew.
Trump is a populist, a populist is for helping the people instead of the established elite. A populist is basically the opposite of a fascist. Trump is even more of a populist now that the RFK jr has joined Trump and Trump says he will put RFK in his cabinet as head of the HHS (Health and Human Services) which *has* the power to reform the corrupt FDA, CDC and NIH. RFK's goal will be to make America healthy again. The bad choices made during Covid such as giving billions of people a *new* untested vaccine will never happen again. No more lockdowns that don't work. Kids should stay in school given that they were not significantly affected by Covid (covid was not more than a regular cold for young people). The established elite and the security state (CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, Military, State Department etc.) are on the *same* side trying to stop Trump because Trump refuses to be controlled by them. A fascist needs the CIA, FBI, Homeland Security etc. to control the population. So how can Trump be the fascist if he is fighting against the CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, State Department etc. ? The democrats are pushing new rules for increased censorship and censorship is a needed tool for fascists so how can Trump be the fascist? Trump wants to end the Ukraine war - on the other hand the Democrats kept that war going when Boris Johnson was sent there to tell Zelensky to not sign a peace pact. The winners of the Ukraine war are the military-industrial complex and Big Food companies who are buying up Ukraine farmland at cheap rates because of loan conditions that the USA put on Ukraine. It is the Democrats who are using lawfare against Trump to convince voters not to vote for him. In most cases they used state courts to go after Trump because there are fewer rules and restrictions on prosecuting people and higher chance of a conviction compared to federal courts . Trump is gaining among blacks and hispanics and union workers because they know that Democrats are not helping them. Millions of manufacturing jobs have been transferred overseas to China, Vietnam, Mexico over the past 30 years which gutted middle America and the Rust Belt. Donald Trump will bring those jobs back with tariffs that help American companies grow by building manufacturing plants here in America. Elon Musk will guide Trump to make America a manufacturing powerhouse like it used to be.
I'm a former democrat that went door to door for Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren. I then campaigned for RFK and now I support Trump.
Trump'only accomplishment in 4 years - tax cut to the wealthiest 1- 5%:
As a share of after-tax income, tax cuts at the top — for both households in the top 1 percent and the top 5 percent — are more than triple the total value of the tax cuts received for people with incomes in the bottom 60 percent.
Both parties have lots of politicians in them that only help the rich. At the moment,the only one that I think will make a difference to undo all that corruption is the team made up of Trump, RFK jr, Tulsi Gabbard and Elon Musk.
Except he didn't do a damn thing to help his supporters, let alone all Americans. That's a fact jack. Your grandchildren will be paying for those he actually did help - the wealthiest, a minority - in a country of 340 million people.
How the fuck is this even happening again?
