We have some good news and bad news. First, the good: With the support of hundreds of grassroots donors just like you, our movement has helped raise thousands for Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossof in Georgia. That’s our one shot at wrestling control of the Senate away from Mitch McConnell, and we’re taking it seriously.

But there’s some bad news. Because we’ve dedicated a huge portion of our online attention to these two races, we’re running significantly behind on our own fundraising for 2021. Specifically, we’re $1,800 behind on an end-of-month goal with a little less than 36 hours to go.

Missing these kinds of goals are a big problem because early investments are the most powerful for progressive campaigns. We can expect Republicans and special interest candidates to have tons of late cash – that’s why we always have to start early. Can you rush a contribution to help us catch up?

When you’re running a grassroots program like this, you have to spend a lot of time striking a delicate balance. How do you mobilize folks to take progressive action for important issues, support fellow progressive candidates (especially in red-to-blue races), and raise sufficient resources to do your own on-the-ground mobilization?

We won’t lie – it’s hard. But it’s an integral part of building a movement capable of winning the change working people deserve. We can’t pass Medicare for All, end the war in Yemen, and send every single adult a $2,000 monthly check until the end of the pandemic without thinking boldly, and putting in the effort.

That’s why we’re asking you for your financial support today. If just one in ten people reading this email contributed, we’d not only meet our goal, but would already be 10% of the way through our December goal as well. Can you step up?

In solidarity,

Team Ro
