[1]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress
   Are you on
   other political email lists?
   If so, you probably regularly receive urgent and panicky emails asking for
   money. Too many politicians and organizations see their grassroots
   supporters as an ATM machine. They use scare tactics, guilt and shame, and
   downright misleading language to coax people into donating.
   It’s bad, and getting worse. Team AOC is determined to rise above that and
   treat you and our other grassroots supporters with respect. Here’s what we
   believe:
   - Instead of scaring you to donate, we want to inspire you to take action.
   - Instead of guilt-tripping you for not donating enough, we want our
   emails to provide value to you. We try to send out informative,
   educational content.
   - Instead of misleading you about fake 5X matches or faux threats, we’re
   honest with you about what’s going on and how you can help.
   - Instead of only hitting you up when we need money, we’ll also send you
   opportunities to volunteer or help other candidates and causes who need
   it.
   But just like all the other campaigns in your inbox, we do have
   fundraising goals and deadlines. Everything we raise each quarter is
   detailed in our public FEC report, and we want to post the biggest
   possible fundraising numbers. But we’re not going to scare or scam you
   into donating. We’ll just ask nicely because your donations to AOC are
   important and meaningful.
   [ [link removed] ]Would you be able to make a $5 contribution to help us
   reach our October fundraising goal? Every single donation will truly make
   a difference.

   If you can’t make a donation today, that’s okay too. We still want you
   here, and we still appreciate you reading our emails.
   The truth is that this email list is powerful. It’s powerful precisely
   because you’re here, with so many others. It’s powerful because when so
   many of us take collective action all at once, we can make real change.
   So, maybe you can’t [ [link removed] ]donate right now. But maybe you’ll get something
   of value from the next email we send. Or perhaps you’ll join us for a
   volunteer activity down the road.
   No matter what, we’re glad you’re here. Thanks for being part of this
   movement,
   Team AOC
