John,

I know Sandra reached out yesterday about our $5,000 goal specifically to support moms who want to run for office, so here’s an update:

We’re still $1,292 short of hitting this goal. Can you help us close that gap before midnight?

I’m sure that, like me, you’ve been on many video calls in the past year where kids popped in view or needed attention. For so many, this past year has exacerbated inequity in this country, especially when it comes to caring for children.

Our alums' impact is undeniable, which is why it’s so important to do everything we can to support them.

Thanks for supporting this important work, Alisha Woodward Burleson Chief of Staff, Emerge

At Emerge, we know that ‘moms’ are as diverse and different as the communities they live and lead in, and today we’re celebrating all of them.

Thanks to the support of this network, we’re watching our alums who are moms make a huge difference for families across the country – from leading the fight for paid parental leave to redefining childcare as a campaign cost so women can run – the impact we’re already seeing from this work is just the beginning.

We have a goal of raising $5,000 before midnight tomorrow so we can continue to support moms who want to run for office and change the trajectory of their community. John, if you are able, can you make a contribution today?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:   Donate $5   Donate $15   Donate $25   Donate $35   Donate $55   Or, donate another amount

We have so many alums who are pulling double-duty, juggling jobs, campaigning, and parenting during a pandemic – but it’s because of them that family-first policies are being introduced for the first time in decades.

With your help, I have no doubt we’ll hit our goal and continue to support so many more incredible women who want to take the leap of running for office and need the support of our national network.

Thank you,

Sandra Bishop Chief Development Officer, Emerge
