John, 

After decades in this fight, I've seen it all. I remember countless moments when pundits and experts said we couldn't win, when the establishment dismissed us, when the odds looked impossible.  

And time after time, we proved them wrong. We turned "impossible" into inevitable. 

2025 and 2026 will be no different — but only if we have the resources to compete and win. Our End-of-Quarter match deadline ends at midnight tonight. Please, don't wait:

Here's what I know: our victories never happen by accident. They happen because supporters like you step up when it matters most. Because together we can build the infrastructure, recruit the candidates, and mobilize the resources to win — even when everything is stacked against us. That's been the story of EMILYs List for 40 years and counting.

The road ahead won't be easy. We're facing well-funded opponents and tough districts where every single vote will matter. But that's exactly when EMILYs List does our best work. Where others see obstacles, we see opportunity.

Will you help us pull off our next incredible victory? This is your last chance to double your impact before midnight.

With determination and hope,

Ellen R. Malcolm
Founder and Chair Emerita, EMILYs List
