John, I’ll keep this short:

Summer’s here, and while some folks are taking a breather, campaigns like mine don’t get to slow down—not for a second.

The truth is, we’re hitting a summer fundraising slump. It’s happening across the board, especially to people-powered campaigns like ours. And if we don’t course-correct soon, it could seriously undermine everything we’ve built together.

And we’ve got to stay strong—because the same MAGA forces trying to ban books, criminalize poverty, and defund our communities are organizing right now to buy seats like this.

I’m not backed by corporate PACs or wealthy donors. Our campaign is fueled by everyday people who believe in safety, justice, and opportunity for all.

That’s why your support matters so much. Because when the other side has unlimited money, all we’ve got is each other. If folks like you don’t show up, no one else will.

So John, will you help us beat the slump and hit our mid-month fundraising goal? Pitch in $27 now to power our campaign through the summer and beyond. >>

Grateful,
