Hi John,

Receiving as many fundraising emails as you do, I bet you’re wondering exactly how your donation helps campaigns like ours. As Barbara Lee’s Finance Director, I’m here to lift the curtain and share three ways your grassroots support allows us to operate.

But first, will you pitch in a $10 or $25 donation ahead of our July end-of-month fundraising goal tomorrow night?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Now back to how your grassroots support helps our campaign:

When you’re running for a seat with nationwide implications like Barbara is, there is no “off-year.” With control of the House and the future of our progressive agenda at stake, we are running a year-round campaign every year to keep in touch with voters, and it’s funded by folks like you!

Every day, we are growing our grassroots team. Whether through volunteers in the East Bay or digital advertisements running online, we are constantly introducing more people to Barbara’s work in Washington and bringing new folks into our movement. Without grassroots fundraising, we’d have to significantly scale back our outreach efforts — or halt them altogether.

When you support Barbara, you are also supporting our shared values as well as progressive candidates fighting alongside us. Barbara Lee for Congress is playing a role in ensuring Democrats up and down the ballot win at every level — from local offices to the White House.

John, I mean it when I say our operation would be nothing without you.

So today I’m asking: Will you make a contribution before our July end-of-month deadline to keep this people-powered movement operating stronger than ever?
