Friend,

Did you see Rashida’s email yesterday? Our community has been incredible in stepping forward and raising more than $20,000 in humanitarian relief for people in Haiti and Afghanistan.

We’re also very focused on and remain committed to supporting folks here at home who are still recovering from this summer’s devastating flooding. We’re reaching out to tens of thousands of residents through phone calls and text messages, making sure they know about the fast-approaching deadline to apply for FEMA relief.

This level of outreach takes huge campaign resources and we’re still short of our August fundraising goals. Can you donate $5 to Rashida’s campaign today to power our outreach efforts in the community and make sure residents have the resources they need to rebuild after devastating flooding?

Every time we ask you to show up, you do. Thank you for all that you do to support humanitarian relief at home and abroad.

-Team Rashida

Friend,

Over the last two weeks, you’ve stepped up and helped raise more than $20,000 for disaster relief in Haiti and to help transport Afghan refugees to safety. Thank you!

I am so grateful to our community, and I am also focused on the ongoing disaster relief here at home.

Many residents in my district are still reeling from recent floods that devastated homes and businesses. People are facing thousands of dollars in damages, which they can't afford, and the deadline to apply for FEMA relief is fast approaching.

We’ve reached more than 60,000 residents through phone calls and text messages, providing resources on how to apply for federal disaster relief, or how to appeal a decision that doesn’t meet their needs.

Residents are grateful for these resources, but there’s still more work to do. This level of outreach takes significant campaign resources, and right now we’re short of our monthly fundraising goal by $13,551.

With the August 31st fundraising deadline quickly approaching, can you rush a donation of $5 today to help us meet our critical fundraising goals? Your support is powering our outreach efforts to residents, ensuring they have the relief they need to rebuild from devastating flooding.

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

Thank you for always showing up. I wouldn’t ask if this weren't urgent.

In solidarity,

Rashida
