When we say we rely on grassroots funding more than anyone, we mean it.
82% of all the money we’ve raised has come from small-dollar donors.
That’s a higher percentage than anyone else — Republican or Democrat — in
the House. Our average donation is just $17, and we’re proud of that fact.

Grassroots fundraising power is our movement’s strongest advantage. But
when we started digging into the latest campaign finance reports, we got a
little concerned: Small-dollar donations to Democrats in the House dropped
62% last quarter.

We know it feels like we’re a million years away from the next election.
It might even be tempting to step back from the activism and organizing
that won us the 2018 and 2020 elections now that Democrats control
Congress and the White House.

But, we can’t afford to slow
the pace this year. Not only do we need to organize to protect our slim
majorities in Congress, but we need to lay the groundwork to expand the
number of progressives who will hold the line for a $15 minimum wage, the
Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and so much more.

If small-dollar enthusiasm slows down, campaigns like ours who rely on
grassroots support will be hurt the most. That’s why it’s important that
we hit every one of our monthly fundraising goals this year — and why
we’re asking for your help today as we strive to reach our end-of-month
goal of 15,000 contributions before Monday’s deadline.



[ [link removed] ]If you're able to today, can you please make
a $3 donation right
now to help our campaign reach this goal? In order to turn our power into
policy, we can't afford to lose our momentum now. And, as we mentioned, no
campaign relies on small-dollar donors more than ours.

We are so grateful to each and every one of you for the role you play in
this movement. Whether you’re phone banking, donating, or spreading the
word on social media — it’s the work that you do that moves us forward.

Thank you,

Team AOC
