We’re not going to sugarcoat it, John.

Our fundraising has taken a dive since the end of June. Don’t believe us? Here’s a view directly into our ActBlue data:

We aren’t going to be dramatic — this isn’t the end of the world. However, it’s worrying to our team, especially Emma, Lauren’s Finance Director.

Before she takes a look at our numbers after our upcoming mid-month deadline, we can get back on track by raising $5,063 between now and Sunday.

The good news: If just 500 people add a $1 donation over the weekend, we’ll be able to show Emma and Lauren on Monday that our team’s fundraising is back on track.

That means, if our entire team works together and at least six people from your area donate $1, we’ll show them that our grassroots movement continues to stand strong every step of the way. In case you’re wondering, this is an actual calculation, not a made-up number!

John, will you be one of six folks we need from your area to pitch in $1 to help us reach our mid-month target and show that our support for Lauren and our movement doesn’t falter?

Thanks for pitching in to our team effort!
