John --

 

ASPIRE is coming up on our big end-of-month deadline in a few hours, so I wanted to get you a quick update as to where we stand right now.

 

A few hours ago, we were just about halfway to our goal of raising $4,600 by midnight. You all have stepped up in a big way since then, and I can't thank you enough. But we are *still* $934 short of our goal.

 

The money ASPIRE is raising goes straight back into electing AAPI Democrats and allies to the AAPI community. The past year has proven time and again that the AAPI community needs a voice in Congress to help shape the debate on everything from immigration policy to anti-Asian hate crimes to President Biden's infrastructure plans. If we can reach our goal, we'll be on track heading into June to support progressive candidates with the lived experience we are so often lacking in Washington.

 

So please, if you can, help us reach our goal tonight. A contribution of $10 or $25 will go a long way towards getting us there. You can donate at this link: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/aspirepac

 

The response we've gotten the last two days has been incredible, and I'm so glad to have you all on our team as we fight for justice for the AAPI community. Thank you.
