Hey friend, I’m Emma Friend from Team Markey HQ, and it’s my job to give supporters like you the tools and resources you need to help lead our movement to victory.

Today, I’m excited to roll out one of these brand new tools — personal fundraising pages. This is a simple tool that lets you build your own custom ActBlue fundraising page where you can ask your friends, family, and social media network to donate to support Ed Markey.

If you cannot wait to get started, then go to EdMarkey.com/raise right now and start creating your personal fundraising page!

The most powerful way to get others to support our grassroots movement is to directly ask them yourself. That’s what we each need to do if we’re going to win this race.

And the truth is it takes a significant amount of money to win a campaign, and for a grassroots campaign like ours, we depend on lots and lots of people chipping in whatever they can afford to keep us going.

Now we need you to join us in this effort. I know it may seem scary, but I promise this is a lot of fun. The first step is to let out your creative side. You start by picking one of these fun Team Markey brands to feature on your page:

From there, we’ll give you tips and tricks on how you can make a personal appeal to your friends and family with your custom page. Once you start sharing, you can also track how much you’ve raised to help power our fight.

One of the most important tips — make a hard ask. So here’s mine:

Will you commit to becoming a grassroots fundraiser for Ed by making your own custom ActBlue page today? With our end of quarter FEC deadline quickly approaching, there’s never been a more important time to take this critical action.

Thanks and see you on the internet!
