Lets start with number 1 and work our way down

Dear MoveOn member,

We've just finished tallying up the results from the Official 2014 Member Priorities Survey—and wanted to make sure you were among the first to see them.

This year, MoveOn members will lead thousands of powerful campaigns, from our local city halls to the halls of Congress. And as a national MoveOn community, we'll pick a small number of high-priority campaigns where we pool our resources and focus to make the biggest impact.

Here are the top national priorities MoveOn members identified for 2014, out of dozens of worthwhile options, in priority order:


1. Work to overturn Citizens United and get money out of our politics.

2. Pass a new Voting Rights Act and stop voter suppression in the states.

3. Prevent war with Iran.

4. Raise the minimum wage (federally or locally).

5. Work to defend and expand Social Security benefits.

6. Fight against fracking and other polluting industries.

7. Fully implement Obamacare.


Members also overwhelmingly said we should use this as a guide, but have the flexibility to shift and be responsive to opportunities as they emerge.
