Traditionally after each election, thousands of campaign staff and field
organizers get laid off until it’s time to resume voter outreach for the
next election cycle — about a year later.

But this
whole idea that you only need to campaign in an election year is one
reason why Democrats have fallen short. We cannot organize, phone bank,
host community events, and share important conversations with our
neighbors only when it’s time to vote.

Our campaign isn’t slowing down or taking an “off year” — we’re investing
in keeping organizing staff on the ground, continuing volunteer work
year-round, and building momentum for our progressive movement across the
country. That’s why it’s so important that we keep up with our monthly
fundraising goals this year — but right now we’re about halfway through
May, and we’re not halfway towards our goal.



[ [link removed] ]Based on our average contribution, we need to raise at least 7,500
contributions by this Saturday to stay on track. If you’re able, will you
make your first
donation right now to help us hit our May target so we can maintain our
critical programs even in non-election years?

To be totally honest, April was a slower
fundraising month than we expected, so we had to adjust our May goal to
make up some ground. Every donation, no matter how much, we receive today
helps us meet this crucial target and ensures we don’t fall behind.

We only rely on grassroots supporters — reading emails like this one — to
fund this campaign. And the donations we receive from you help set budgets
for these critical organizing programs in 2021. If our numbers come up
short, we may not be able to follow through on 100% of our plan.

[ [link removed] ]Can you make one of the 7,500 contributions we're relying on before
Saturday? This goal may be ambitious, but we’ve never set the aspirations
of this movement around what is easy, but what needs to be done.

Thank you for all that you do,

–Team AOC
