=== Internationalization of the MoveOn model ===
From the start, MoveOn.org's model was able to combine net activism with meaningful political activism.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Carty |first1=Victoria |title=Multi-Issue, Internet-Mediated Interest Organizations and their Implications for US Politics: A Case of MoveOn.org |journal=Social Movement Studies |date=August 2011 |volume=10 |issue=3 |pages=265–282 |doi=10.1080/14742837.2011.590029 |s2cid=144387981 }}</ref><ref>{{cite conference |last1=Karpf |first1=David A. |title=The Moveon Effect: Disruptive Innovation within the Interest Group Ecology of American Politics |conference=APSA 2009 Toronto |date=2009 |ssrn=1451465 }}</ref> As MoveOn.org developed its presence within politics into the one that it has today, the model and structure that they developed became desirable to other organizations who face similar challenges.<ref name=":0">{{cite news |last1=Karpf |first1=David |title=Netroots Goes Global |url=https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/netroots-goes-global/ |date=October 16, 2013 }}</ref> One person who aided in the internationalization of the MoveOn Model is MoveOn.org's former advocacy director, Ben Brandzel. In 2007 after leaving MoveOn to work on John Edwards presidential campaign, Brandzel headed to Australia to help a young Internet driven group called GetUp! According to their website, GetUp! is "an independent movement to build a progressive Australia and bring participation back into [their] democracy."<ref>[https://www.getup.org.au/ "GetUp! Action for Australia"]. ''GetUp! Action for Australia''.
