Are you on other political email lists?
If so, you probably regularly receive urgent and panicky emails asking for money. Too many politicians and organizations see their grassroots supporters as an ATM. They use scare tactics, guilt and shame, and downright misleading language to coax people into donating.
It’s bad, and getting worse. Team AOC is determined to rise above that and treat you and our other grassroots supporters with respect. Here’s what we believe:
Instead of scaring you to donate, we want to inspire you to take action. Because your time and your dollar are both valuable.
Instead of guilt tripping you, we want our emails to provide value to you. We try to send out informative content because Alexandria believes that an educated community is an empowered community.
Instead of misleading you about fake "5x matches" or faux threats, we’re honest with you about what’s going on and how you can help.
Instead of only hitting you up when we need money, we’ll also send you opportunities to volunteer or help other candidates and causes who need it.
But just like all the other campaigns in your inbox, we do have goals and deadlines. But we’re not going to scare or scam you into donating. We’ll just ask nicely because your support of Alexandria and this movement is important and meaningful.
Whether or not you can contribute today, thank you for standing with us. We appreciate you reading our and Alexandria's emails.
The truth is that this email list is powerful. It’s powerful precisely because you’re here with so many others. When so many of us take collective action all at once, we can make real change.
So, maybe you can’t donate right now. But maybe you’ll get something of value from the next email we send. Or perhaps you’ll join us for a volunteer activity down the road.
No matter what: we’re glad you’re here. Thank you for being part of this movement.
In solidarity,
Team AOC
