Kia ora John,

Remember last week Carmel said the Deputy PM's job was to serve all Kiwis, and she wasn't sure David Seymour's up to it?

Well, Seymour proved her right on his very first day. His first message to New Zealand was he's the "worst nightmare" for the half or more of New Zealanders with progressive values. He even called himself "dangerous", which might be right - just not in the way he thinks. 

That's why over 800 Labour supporters have already given to our fightback fund, and we're rapidly closing in on our target. There's still a few days to double your impact with our dollar-for-dollar matching funds, so if you haven't already please do consider donating today.

Every dollar you donate today gets matched. What do you say, John? Are you in?

I know times are tough and some people getting this email really can't contribute. I totally understand, and please do not donate if you cannot afford it. But if you do have capacity to contribute, even just a little, this is a really important time. Can you help us get the rest of the way to our target? 

Thank you so much for being part of our movement, John. We really appreciate your support.

Ngā mihi maioha,

Rob
