Team — we should explain.

At the top of August we told you that this time of the year is historically hard to fundraise during. We’re about halfway through the month and so far what we feared has come true: so far we’ve only raised a fraction of what we had this time last month.

Here’s what you need to know: what we’re able to accomplish today is because of the resources we raised two or three months ago. It’s why we can’t afford to slow down during this last critical stretch before the most important election in modern history.

We need to keep the pressure up — whether it’s creating and disseminating new ads holding Trump accountable, supporting our veteran candidates in key battleground states, or pitching in to other important races and up and down the ballot, everything we do is powered by donations we get from emails just like this one.

Will you make a donation of any amount today to help us catch up during the summer fundraising slump? It would only take a few people chipping in a couple of bucks to help us catch up and get ready for the next phase of the election.

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

There are some things only this team can get done, so thanks for anything you can pitch in. It means a lot.
