Rahna Epting to step down as head of MoveOn

Rahna Epting, the executive director of MoveOn, will step down from her role in the prominent progressive group this coming summer, she told ABC News.

Epting, who will have served as MoveOn's chief for about six years by the time she steps aside, will stay on in advisory capacity through end of 2025. Epting spoke with MoveOn's board over the summer about her departure and they mutually agreed to announce the move after the November elections so as to not distract from the group's work.

In an interview, Epting said the organization would carry on its work without her, though she wouldn't be far.

"I think it's time for the organization to have fresh leadership, and I think that's healthy for an organization like ours that embraces change and actually thrives through change," she said. "I will be continuing to play a role in some other cross-movement efforts … but in terms of what my next big thing is, I don't know yet, and I'm excited to explore what's possible."
