Hi there --
Since we announced yesterday that we need to raise $25,000 in order to have the full amount matched by a generous donor, this team has gotten us more than 20% of the way there. In one day!!
Unlocking this full match would make a huge difference in our ability to recruit and support 2020 candidates. While most folks are waiting until there's a Democratic nominee for president to turn their attention toward smaller races, we're recruiting for hundreds of seats across the country because there's truly no time to waste -- did you know that six states, including Texas and Ohio, have filing deadlines before the end of January 2020? Finding folks to run for the seats that will make budget decisions and redraw district lines in 2021 has to happen right now.
Help us get closer to $25,000 by donating what you can now:

Subject: Can we get a little help with something big?
Last week, an incredibly generous donor made us an offer: If we can raise $25,000 by the end of the month, they'll match it dollar-for-dollar. Honestly, that's a tall order -- but I think we can do it, if you help.
Can you make a donation of $10 today to help us hit $25,000 by next Monday at midnight?
$50,000 isn't a lot of money for a big campaign or a nonprofit with national name recognition, but it would make a real difference for our ability to support 2019 and 2020 candidates. With this generous contribution and support from this entire team, we could expand our recruitment to even more districts where Republicans have a stranglehold on local politics.
Make a dent in $25,000 with a donation of any amount today.

P.S. If everyone who opened this email chipped in $5, $10, or $25, we'd get there. But it's likely we'll need a little more help than that, so whether or not you can donate, can you forward this email to someone who believes that flipping state legislative seats, city councils, and school boards is vital to protecting our democracy?
