Friends, it’s Ed. I like to be transparent with you about our fundraising efforts, so I’m sharing the truth today:

We are just days away from our August fundraising deadline, and we are pretty short of where we need to be to meet our goals. About $3,100 short as of my writing this email.

So, we really need a hail mary if we’re going to get back on track before Sunday.

We usually ask folks to give $5 for their first contribution. It helps power this movement as we fight for the progressive values we all believe in. But today we’re asking if you could instead chip in $10 so we can keep up that fight.

We know $10 may not seem like a lot compared to the far-right mega-donors and billionaire super PACs we are up against, but honestly... when everyone contributes what they can and does their part it really does add up to enough resources to win. We’ve seen it time and time again.

So please, this is a true hail mary moment for our campaign:

Can you make your first contribution today and help us reach our goals? We only need a few people from this amazing team to step up and chip in today.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thank you in advance for your support of my campaign and this movement ahead of our deadline at the end of the week.

In solidarity,

Ed Markey
