Friends — It’s no secret that I don’t really like sending fundraising emails.
I’d rather spend my time talking about the deep challenges our nation faces and our ongoing fight for justice for all.
But let me put something in perspective: So far this year, more than half of all the money we’ve raised on this campaign has come from emails like these.
That may not sound like much at first, but think about it. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of members of Congress right now who raise a majority of their money through corporate PACs and special interests. Some even raise most of their money from a single billionaire donor or a single industry (such as the fossil fuel lobby).
And despite that, we are able to keep up just by sending out these emails, and asking this grassroots team to chip in whatever they can afford.
$5, $10, $25 — those are the types of donations that keep this campaign and this progressive movement moving forward. Thousands of regular folks. Not lobbyists or far-right mega donors. Just people who clicked the donate button on an email like this and made our work possible.
So, given that we’ve set our sights on a new goal for our August fundraising deadline, you know I have to ask:
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
We will continue to push for justice and make great progress for this country when we fight not alone, but together.
In solidarity,
Ed Markey
