Dear,

Katie Porter has become a rockstar of Congress with her whiteboard and rapid-fire questions. In just two years, she's sponsored bills to protect new parents from surprise medical bills, secured a commitment for free coronavirus testing from the CDC, and voted to impeach Trump -- all as the first Democrat ever from California's 45th District.(1) 

But whether Porter and other progressives like her are sent back to Congress and the state legislature depends on how many voters we can reach between now and Voting Day. Right now four congressional seats in California are polling with razor-thin margins, and Porter needs a huge turnout, too.(2)

We've broken all records with 6 million ballots already cast for the 2020 election!(3) But that means more than 15 million California voters have not turned in their ballots yet, and this is our very last chance to reach them.(4)

If you’ve been waiting to donate, now is the time. We need to raise $15,000 in the next 48 hours to run Google ads so we can make sure that Porter and the other most progressive candidates are elected in November. Will you donate today?

Yes, I’ll donate to fund advertisements sharing the Courage California Voter Guide!

The Courage California Voter Guide is the only progressive voter guide that covers races up and down the ballot across the state. We explain the progressive position on the propositions this year, as well as which progressive organizations across the state have endorsed particular candidates.

The Guide makes voting for progressive champions for Congress, the state legislature, city council, and even judgeships incredibly easy. Voters can visit the site and simply input their address, and customized ballot recommendations will pop up! The Guide also makes sharing with friends easy.

We know our Voter Guide works, and with your donation, we can reach at least half a million more voters in the districts with the closest races before Voting Day. But we need you to give right this minute.

Already, 382,000 voters have used the Courage California Voter Guide, and they are spending an average of over 11 minutes on the site each, so we know our Voter Guide works. With your donation, we can reach at least half a million more voters in the districts with the closest races before Voting Day. But we need you to give right this minute.

Will you donate to help reach more voters before November 3?

Yours in the fight for our democracy,

Caitlin, along with Angela, Annie, Deepthi, Gabby, Jay, Irene, Lindsay, Molly, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team)
