Hi team,

We originally set our $1.2 million goal for this quarter based on the budget we predicted we’d need to get out the vote and combat Donald Trump and the GOP’s attacks against Ilhan — but in the past week, Trump has smeared Ilhan and our progressive movement at not one but all of his rallies, saying she’s the reason he’s going to win Minnesota. And he’s returning to Minnesota for one of his rallies this week.

We really need to ramp up our organizing team’s efforts to turn out enough voters to win this race and to defeat Trump in Minnesota — so we’ve raised our end-of-quarter goal to $1.3 million.

Ahead of our final end-of-quarter deadline before the election this Wednesday, will you chip in your first donation of $5 to help us reach our revised goal to fight back against these attacks and break turnout records? Your support will make all the difference in these final weeks of the election.

Our new $1.3 million goal will help support our critical get-out-the-vote, community-centered, and fundraising efforts, including:

• Digital ads
• Phone banks
• Relational organizing training
• Census outreach to make sure everyone in our community is represented in Congress

This is not an arbitrary goal, team — this money is going toward our massive organizing efforts to fight back against Trump, empower communities, inform voters, and encourage people to cast their ballots for progressives up and down the ballot.

We know it’s ambitious to raise our goal by $100,000 with only three days to go until the end of the quarter — but this is the same team that supported our get-out-the-vote efforts to bring in 37,000 new voters to our district and win last month’s primary by double digits. If we pull together now, I know we can do this.

So chip in for the future we’re fighting for together by donating $5 toward our new $1.3 million end-of-quarter goal before Wednesday at 11:59 p.m.

Thank you,

Claire Bergren
