Dear Friend,

In just five weeks, East Bay DSA will join forces with chapters across the country to shape the future of our movement. We're just $373 away from raising enough money to get our delegates to Chicago for DSA national convention - help us cross the finish line now!

Friend, you've totally exceeded our expectations in raising money to get our delegates to Chicago. This month, 49 members like you have pitched in so far, which means we're 94% of the way to our goal! And your support goes straight to our 27 delegates, so they can pay for their flights and hotels. For just one delegate to go to convention, it costs $1300. If 8 more members contribute $50 each, we'll hit our goal. Be the 50th member to help right now and make sure our East Bay delegates' voices are heard at convention!

Why is it crucial for us to be represented at the convention? The answer is simple: our presence ensures that things we fight like hell for here in the East Bay are part of the national agenda.

This year, we're voting on important political questions like:

• What's our strategy for fighting a Trump or DeSantis presidency? Should we promise as an organization that we won't endorse Joe Biden?
• Should DSA function like a political party, and how? What should we require of candidates to get our endorsement??
• Should we make DSA's highest elected leadership positions into full-time jobs, which would mean these people could represent DSA in the media and raise the profile of the socialist movement nationally?

You elected 27 delegates to represent East Bay DSA at convention - but they won't have input on these crucial questions for the socialist movement unless we can get them there to vote. Members like you have gotten us 94% of the way there. Will you be the one to get us to 100%?

Thank you for your dedication to winning socialism in our lifetime!

In solidarity,
