You probably know by now that we just submitted our quarterly fundraising totals to the FEC — a requirement for all organizations contributing to campaigns to promote transparency in the electoral process. What you might not know is that this year, our monthly numbers are getting reported too. That matters, and it's part of why every contribution to EMILYs List counts so much. Can you donate to support Democratic pro-choice women today?
First, a peek behind the curtain: This cycle, we've switched to ActBlue, the online contribution platform used by most Democratic campaigns and organizations. ActBlue is a hybrid PAC that, similar to all PACs, can opt to submit monthly fundraising totals instead of quarterly totals in electoral on-years.
But guess what? Republicans' primary fundraising platform has opted to avoid publishing these monthly totals — which means we'll only find out how much they've brought in once every three months.
So, what does this mean for us, John? It means the GOP knows exactly how much we're raising every month, so they can plan their targeted attack spending against our candidates accordingly.
And that's why we're reaching out today. We want to showcase the strength of this pro-choice movement and be ready for whatever Republicans throw at us (and especially at the women we endorse)! Please donate now to take a stand >>
