John,

Hi, it’s Jamie Lynn with Team Emerge. It’s officially recruitment season and I’m reaching out to tell you how your contribution today will help us support more Democratic women.

The Emerge 2025 National Virtual Signature Training Program is a unique opportunity for Democratic women and non-binary folks who plan to run for public office. It is the only in-depth, 70-hour, fully online training program that inspires candidates to run and gives them the tools to win. The virtual program is for folks who live in a state without an Emerge affiliate in their states.

After the 2016 election, Democratic women wanted to fight for their communities to protect reproductive access, voting rights, and our democracy. At Emerge, we saw a huge surge in interest in Democratic women wanting to run for office and win. Now, with the original Emerge woman, Vice President Kamala Harris, at the top of the Democratic ticket – thousands of women across the country are energized and interested in running for office up and down the ballot to represent their communities, and we need more resources to train them.

Our applications open up in just a few days, and we’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $25,000 to make the most of this moment. This momentum is historic, and we need to be prepared. That’s why your contribution to Emerge today will ensure we have the resources to recruit and train the next generation of Democratic leaders.

Will you contribute $5, $10, or whatever you can today to help us reach our ambitious $25,000 fundraising goal to start off the recruitment season strong? Every dollar you invest has an immediate impact.

Thank you for your support,

Jamie Lynn Maniscalco
Deputy Training Director, Emerge
