John,
It's been two weeks since our campaign suspended all in-person events and direct voter outreach (door knocking). Which has been difficult, to be honest.
Progressive grassroots campaigns win by knocking on doors (the free part of campaign budgets!), talking to voters about issues, and securing their support.
All that has been thrown out, and we are in full digital, phones, and mail campaign mode (the most expensive part of a campaign budget).
So here is where we are at in our digital fundraising campaign as of 4 pm today.
Our end of quarter filing deadline is just a few days away.
Take a look at our ActBlue receipts from the last 7 days. We need to double this by March 31st!

So far, we've had 134 people pitch in to help us hit our goal of 250 individual contributions this week. Will you be one of the 116 people we need to donate to this email so we have the resources to reach all the voters in the Super 6 and win? - [link removed]
Your donation is going directly into voter outreach. DeKalb Board of Elections will begin mailing out already requested ballots in just a few days.
Every $5 dollars we raise is another voter we can contact before returning their completed ballot.
Thank you,
- Ted
