Indivisibles,

We emailed you yesterday about a new program launch -- that’s right, our
2020 Congressional Endorsements Program is officially live!

We’ve got a lot of fights ahead of us: the federal budget, passing
people-first immigration legislation, the Green New Deal, you name it.
These issues aren’t going away, and they won’t be fixed just by electing
the right president next year. We need the right people in Congress who
will take their jobs seriously, advance strong progressive policies, and
truly feel accountable to their constituents. (And, sidenote, we need to
eliminate the filibuster!)

That’s why we’re so excited to begin the process of identifying and
supporting amazing congressional candidates nationwide. But it’s going to
take a whole lot of work and a whole lot of resources to make it happen.
Here’s just a sample of some of our budget line items for this program
over the next several months:

* We’re going to launch massive voter contact campaigns through the mail
for some of our key endorsed candidates -- $300,000

* We’ll produce flyers and other literature for canvassers to use when
knocking on doors -- $50,000

* We’ll engage directly with media outlets, scheduling tours and press
events, and supporting groups doing the work to get candidates the
coverage they need. And we’ll place paid buys for things like digital,
radio, and print ads -- $400,000

* We’ll be making direct contributions to endorsed candidates to support
their campaigns -- $100,000

* That’s not to mention the staff time, organizing capacity, office
supplies, and all the other expenses that will come up throughout this
year -- all in all, we’re budgeting almost a million dollars on this.

We’re pouring our hearts and souls into our Congressional Endorsements
Program, because we know how important it is to support the candidates who
will do the work to advance progressive policies. In 2018, Indivisible
endorsements helped candidates flip the House in key swing districts,
defeat entrenched incumbents in Democratic primaries, and deepen the
Democratic bench in crucial 2020 states. But grassroots donations are our
biggest single source of funding, so like all of our work, we literally
can’t do this without you.

[ [link removed] ]Please, donate right now, before our launch week ends, to support our
endorsements program and all the other work Indivisible Action is doing to
build a Blue Wave between now and next November.

You might be asking, “Why can’t I just support candidates directly by
donating to their campaigns?”

The answer to that is: you can, and you should.

But you should also give to support our endorsements program, because when
you give to Indivisible, you're investing in a national movement that's
more than the sum of its parts. You’re supporting a slate of progressive
candidates across the country, along with the tools and organizing it’ll
take to get them elected. And you’re supporting a movement that will keep
them honest once they’re in office. Whether we’re launching a round of
endorsements or bird-dogging candidates to get them on the record about
important issues, you can be sure that every dollar you give will go
toward building the 2020 Blue Wave.

[ [link removed] ]Can you give $10 today, before the end of our launch week, to build the
Blue Wave, launch our endorsement program, and support all our critical
electoral work?

our work. Thank you for making this such an impactful and active movement.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
