In following CDC guidelines, we're postponing all in-person events until it's safe to gather again. This has a direct impact on our fundraising; if you were thinking about supporting Run for Something this year, your generosity is especially needed right now. To get involved from home, sign up to volunteer.

We're in kind of a strange place right now, John.

We're seeing in huge scale the differences between engaged progressive leaders, and... everyone else. It's clear -- to us, at least -- that this fall's elections are somehow even more important than we knew. In a better world, we'd be pushing hard on fundraising so that we could give our candidates the support they really need as they navigate online campaigning.

On the flip side, we're in the middle of a health and economic crisis. Millions of people are worried about paying rent. We're not silly enough to think that giving to groups like ours should be a priority alongside housing and food.

So I'm coming to you to ask: If you're able to spare a few bucks right now, can you give it to Run for Something?

I'm so proud of the way our team has made the transition to this new reality. But we're going to need to continue to be flexible between now and November 3rd, 2020, as the world changes in new and unpredictable ways. If our fundraising stalls, we're going to have to hit pause at the worst possible time.

If you can't give right now, we understand. If you can, we'd appreciate it more than you know -- and put your contribution to work right away.
