Meidas Hits the Road With MoveOn: We Won’t Back Down
WE WON’T BACK DOWN! (As if you thought we ever would …)
MoveOn—the nation’s largest member-driven progressive grassroots organization—is launching a “Won’t Back Down” tour, bringing progressive firebrands and Democrats unafraid to show some fight into some of the nation's political hot spots.
And we’re joining them: On the road, across our channels, and wherever anyone is willing to call BS.
That’s right: We’re working with Democrats who are ready to call BS on the Trump administration, their MAGA cronies, and any of the corporate forces complicit in Republicans’ heinous agenda. And we won’t be afraid to call out some Democrats, too, if they aren’t ready to fight.
MoveOn has millions of members around the country—they turned out for the Hands Off! and No Kings protests, they are about to stage actions to support Medicaid and SNAP, they hit the phones and the streets and congressional offices and “click now” buttons on online petitions in huge numbers.
And now MoveOn members and the Meidas Mighty are going to turn out in the thousands for feisty, fighty leaders, including Senators Chris Murphy and Elizabeth Warren and Representatives Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, and Yassamin Ansari—at town hall rallies in some of the key congressional districts that will decide control of the House in 2026.
Democrats who aren’t afraid, MoveOn members, and the Meidas Mighty are ready to take action. And everyday people who are just pissed off at what their Republican incumbents are up to will rally, make noise, and sign up to help flip the House to Democratic control in November 2026.
The MeidasTouch team will be rallying with them, amplifying the noise, and turbocharging the action.
The first event is in Phoenix—because nothing says dedication more than a hot-as-hell event in Arizona in August—on August 3. The second will be in Omaha on August 23—where we’ll prove that there are folks ready to fight the Trump administration everywhere … even Nebraska.
As Tom Petty wrote:
Well, I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down.
Phoenix may be hot as the gates of Hell, but we know the demons are the ones in the White House. And, as always, we won’t back down.
Join the tour if you’re in Arizona or Nebraska, or sign up now for the livestreams: August 3 and 23.




Onward and upward! 2026 (win the House) 2027 (win the Senate) 2028 (win the White House)- full steam ahead!
Awesome!
Side note I remember how Lara Trump butchered Tom Petty's legendary song and acted like it was her own. I looked forward to her losing in NC against Roy Cooper. Too bad she’s not running 😂
