Moffett founded the Connecticut Citizen Action Group in 1970 alongside politician and consumer advocate Ralph Nader. His social circle included residents of Litchfield, including Rufus and Leslie Stillman. Moffett worked with four different artists to create posters for his 1974 and 1982 campaigns.
