John,
Yesterday, we launched a major donation goal for the next four days — I want to share why:
The goal: Raise $85,000 in new monthly recurring donations
Why it matters: We're now full steam ahead to the 2026 midterms. That means more endorsements of Democratic pro-choice women — and they're counting on us for support.
Why Friends of the List is key: Recurring support powers our movement — and if we hit this goal, we'll bring in more than $1 million over the next year to help elect Democratic pro-choice women. All from a single week of action.
As CFO, it's my job to make sure we're financially prepared for what's ahead. We don't take recurring donations lightly — we know they're a real commitment. But that kind of steady support is exactly what it takes to counter the GOP's billionaire-backed fundraising machine and ensure we can stand with our candidates every step of an election cycle.
So that's why I'm asking: John, will you become a Friend of the List today?
With gratitude,
Callie Fines (she/her/hers)
