Hi, John.

I wanted to loop you on these numbers below:

According to our analytics team, out of the thousands of people who open emails just like this, only .033% actually make a donation.

That’s about one person out of every 3,000.

Those contributions fuel our work here at DFA -- and give us the resources to impact races all across the country, replacing Trump Republicans and bad corporate Democrats with powerful progressive leaders. Every endorsement we make, every campaign staffer we train, every voter we contact, and every single candidate we put over the top on Election Day is directly funded by members like you.

But even at this critical time, August has been one of the worst months of fundraising this year. People are using these last few weeks of summer to take vacations and relax by the pool (as they should!), but that means our numbers are taking a pretty big dip -- just before we need to hit the ground running for the “Labor Day to Election Day” rush in Virginia and the Presidential primaries begin.

Now, if we can just get one or two more people in every 3,000 to make a $5 donation, then we’d have the funds we need to provide critical support for candidates we’ve endorsed in battleground states and targeted districts.

It’s as simple as this: the more money these emails bring in and the more resources we have, the more likely we’ll be able to flip Virginia blue in 2019 and expand the majority in the House, flip the Senate, and take back the White House in 2020.

So first, John, thank you for opening this email. Now, will you help us meet our August fundraising goal and make a donation before midnight tomorrow? Every dollar you give makes a big difference:

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

Thank you for supporting DFA, because when we work together, we’re unstoppable.
