I want to be truthful with you, John.

Earlier this week, I met with our fundraising team and when we were looking at our numbers for April we noticed that our numbers are lower than usual at this point in the month.

Right now, we’re 15% short from reaching our April fundraising goal and there’s less than 48 hours until our deadline. It’s a sizable chunk of money we need to raise by midnight tomorrow, and we’re getting a little worried about reaching our goal.

We’re cutting it close – but if half of the folks reading this email chip in just $4.80 we can close this gap in time. Can you donate $4.80 or anything you can to help us reach our grassroots fundraising goal? Every dollar you give provides Cori the support she needs to organize, build anti-racist progressive power in Congress, and generate momentum for change.

I’ll get straight to the point. Here’s why it’s critical we reach our fundraising goal this month, John:

The GOP and right-wing media outlets like Fox News have been ramping up their attacks on Cori. Republicans have made it clear that even though Trump is out of office — they are still fighting tooth and nail to keep his racist, oppressive message and policies alive. These attacks make it clear that they’re afraid of Cori’s bold leadership — but we know that it’s critical we have enough fundraising to fight back and make sure we can continue growing our progressive movement.

It’s important Cori can focus on legislating and organizing for the transformative policies our communities need — and not worry about fundraising. You see — that isn’t the norm in Congress. Most Representatives dedicate hours and hours of their time attending fancy steak dinners with corporate donors to ensure they have enough funding. Instead, Cori is relying on donations from emails like this one to make sure she can focus on fighting for bold legislation like a Green New Deal and Medicare for All.

Right now, potential future challengers for Cori’s seat in 2022 are watching because they want to see how vulnerable Cori’s seat is. They’re going to be assessing whether Team Cori supporters are committed to keeping her in Congress, and a key indicator is our fundraising numbers.

There’s a lot at stake when it comes to reaching our fundraising goal tomorrow — but we trust that our grassroots supporters will pitch in and help us pull this off in time. Can you be one of the donors we need to chip in today to catch up on our fundraising (even giving $4.80 makes a big difference)?

Together,

Aarica, Finance Director for Team Cori
