 Hey, John, we’re in a sticky situation. See, a huge way for us to connect with new people and build support for the movement is by boosting posts on social media. But after the election, Facebook and other platforms disabled paid promotions from anyone political—and just yesterday expanded their ban a month longer than we expected. While it’s great that Trump and his cronies won’t be able to spread misinformation and stir up trouble, that also means people-powered organizations and movements like ours can’t use this resource. And unlike them, we don’t have rich corporate backers and fossil fuel executives to lean on. This hit to our grassroots fundraising is going to make us miss out on over $100,000 that we expected to raise. Can you contribute to make up for this setback so we don’t have to compromise our plans for the coming months? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: We were just getting ready for the major work we have to do as we kick off the decade of the Green New Deal. Only days ago, we announced our Climate Mandate, the start of many months of organizing to convince Biden that his administration needs to be filled with people who will step up to the urgency of the climate crisis. We don’t want to slow down in this critical moment. So much hinges on our ability to keep up the pressure and demand the new administration act on the needs of our generation. With your help, we can make up for the funding we’ll miss out on this month until those promotion restrictions are removed. Can we count on your gift to help keep this momentum going? Together we can push past this obstacle and continue fighting to win a Green New Deal. Matthew, Fundraising Team |
