==== Run Warren Run ==== In December 2014, MoveOn.org began their campaign to get Senator [[Elizabeth Warren]] to run to be the 45th president of the United States. MoveOn.org's plan to get Warren to run for office included getting their large base of supporters to sign a petition urging Warren to run, spending roughly a million dollars on television advertisements in Iowa and New Hampshire, the states that kicked off the presidential nomination process, and creating a website called "Run Warren Run".<ref name=":1">Editor, Sam Stein Senior Politics; Post, The Huffington (June 2, 2015).

Retrieved 2016-11-18.</ref> When asked about the "Run Warren Run" campaign, Ilya Sheyman, MoveOn.org's executive director, made it clear that the mindset behind the campaign was to show Warren that there was a path for her to the presidency and that there was a substantial amount of grass-roots energy in key states that would support her if she chose to do so.<ref name=":1" /> By the end of the campaign, MoveOn.org got 365,000 signatures showing support for Warren and had planned, organized, and executed over 400 events.<ref name=":1" /> In the end, Warren did not run for the 2016 presidency.<ref name="Bernie versus Hillary">{{cite journal|last1=Lenchner|first1=Charles|date=September 2015|title=Bernie versus Hillary: Building an Outsider Left Inside the Democratic Party|journal=New Labor Forum|volume=24|issue=3|pages=62β67|doi=10.1177/1095796015597246|s2cid=157251089}}</ref>
