John,

I’m about to ask you to make a donation. I hope you’ll give me a chance to explain why this request – especially right now – is so important. 

But first, if you’d like to make a quick donation now, chip in here. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/tk-em-q4-2025?

Here’s the situation: 

President Trump wants National Guard troops in Portland under the pretense of “protecting” our biggest city. But what they actually want to do is bully people who are exercising their free speech rights in order to generate headlines for cable TV news and give fodder to right-wing social media influencers. 

I’m doing everything I can to fight back and keep Portland free from Trump’s overreach. But at the same time I have an important mid-month fundraising deadline tonight. This is our chance to demonstrate the people power behind our work – we can’t miss this opportunity. 

With everything going on I need your support now more than ever. Can I count on you to chip in before the midnight deadline? No matter the amount, your donation makes a huge difference to our team and to me.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Stay strong!

Tina
