How core values can fuel progress in 2025 and beyond
As we all start a new year, I’m struck by the power of core values in pulling off world-shaping work in the face of constant change. Last year, more than 70 countries, including the United States, held national elections, considered by many to be the largest election year in history. Changes in leadership everywhere spur all sorts of societal shifts, creating new challenges and opportunities, knowns and unknowns, concerns and hopes—for all of us. At GFI, our values keep us grounded.

Say NO to Trump's warmaking!
Donald Trump just ordered dozens of Tomahawk missiles to strike Syria.It's an illegal and unauthorized escalation that could have devastating consequences: killing innocent Syrians and costing the lives of U.S. service members.Let's be clear: There's no doubt that Bashar Assad is a brutal dictator who has slaughtered his own people and is complicit in the use of chemical weapons.
MoveOn statement on DNC leadership
“The DNC must clean house and the new chair must stand up to all efforts by Trump and Republicans to move their harmful and bigoted agenda, which lost the national popular vote. At the same time, the DNC must connect with the grassroots of the party base that wants the party to reject corporate influence and advance an inclusive, progressive agenda that will energize voters and grow our base in 2017, 2018, and beyond. To do this, we need to bring back a real 50-state organizing strategy. Rep.
Progressives: Vote for Hillary Clinton
As executive directors of one of the country’s largest progressive grassroots organizations, we have not always supported Hillary Clinton in her bids for higher office. In 2008, we enthusiastically supported then-Senator Barack Obama in his primary against then-Senator Clinton.

MoveOn, and our millions of members, will continue working to stand up to Donald Trump’s hateful campaign and ensure he never steps foot in the White House. Together, we will defeat Donald Trump’s toxic campaign of hate and lay the groundwork for progress.”

Today we announce the suspension of our campaign to draft Elizabeth Warren into the presidential race. There’s no sugar-coating it: We didn’t achieve our central goal. But there’s a bigger story that gives us tremendous hope: as one headline put it, “Elizabeth Warren may not be running, but she’s in the 2016 race anyway.” In the six months since we launched the Run Warren Run effort, Senator Warren’s agenda and message have transformed the American political landscape.
