We're amazed. After Ro was transparent with our team yesterday about fundraising and asked if we could raise $1,000 in grassroots contributions in 24 hours to help sustain our progressive movement, you and your fellow supporters went above and beyond.
The response was so overwhelmingly strong that we're extending our deadline to midnight TONIGHT. Can you chip in today to help us get to $2,000 (double our original goal!) in grassroots dollars by midnight?
If you didn't get a chance to read it yet, Ro's full email is below. We're so excited to see what we're able to accomplish together by our new, extended deadline.
Thanks,
Team Ro

Subject: Never going to send you a "sky is falling email"
My team is never going to send you a “sky is falling” email. Let me tell you why:
Scaring people into opening up their wallets goes against everything we stand for. Our thriving movement is proof that we don’t need to resort to cheap tactics to achieve big things. Every progressive victory we’ve won has been thanks to people like you chipping in – not out of fear, but a shared vision and a genuine desire to invest in our fight for change.
With the fights for a $15 minimum wage, Medicare for All, and a Green New Deal still in full swing, I’m asking if you can help us reach a goal today: $1,000 from grassroots contributions in the next 24 hours. You chipping in just $5 today would make all the difference in getting us there.
Can you support our people-powered movement by making a $5 donation now?
Living by our progressive values starts with treating our supporters with respect. That’s why I’ve never sent you an email full of fake deadlines and red exclamation points. And I never will.
It means so much to know that our donations are coming from working folks who don’t always have money to spare, but are willing to pitch in wherever they can because they see our honesty and believe in what we’re fighting for.
But the truth about our grassroots fundraising operation is that we’re counting on folks like you reading these emails to show your support. If you and other folks from across the country are able to chip in today, you’ll help us stay on track and make sure we have the resources to keep our progressive movement moving full-steam ahead.
Thanks for being a part of this movement,
Ro Khanna
