John, this is Stacey Abrams. I'm reaching out personally because we need your help.

As one of our most committed supporters from VA, you've been there when it mattered most. Now we're facing a critical moment, and I need to be direct with you about where things stand.

Our end-of-month deadline is 3 days away, and we're not where we need to be.

Here's why this matters: Speak Up PAC has been on the front lines supporting candidates and organizations who are fighting for healthcare access, protecting civil rights, and defending democratic norms. We've invested in races others wrote off. We've supported organizations building power in communities that get ignored by national politics.

But this work requires sustained funding—and right now, we're at risk of having to scale back our support at the worst possible time.

Grassroots organizations like ours depend on people like you. We can't compete dollar-for-dollar with unlimited wealth, but we can be strategic, persistent, and effective if we have the resources to do the work.

The reality is stark: if we miss this deadline, we'll have to make cuts to our efforts. That means backing fewer organizations, less support for candidates in critical races, and reduced capacity exactly when we need to be scaling up for 2026.

I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important, John.

Can you rush a donation of $10 before our end-of-month deadline in 3 days?

Together,
Stacey Abrams
