Hey there – we’re emailing for $5.

Here’s why: Our end-of-October fundraising deadline is on Thursday at midnight, and right now, we are not on track to hit our $400,000 goal and defeat Mitch McConnell next year.

We’re not a Super PAC or some dark money organization like the ones backing McConnell. Instead, we’re building a grassroots movement that is 100% funded by donations from everyday people with an average gift of just $23.

We’ll be honest, though. At the moment, it’s looking like we might fall short of our goal for the first time ever, and we just can’t afford to let that happen – not if we want to take on McConnell and finally Ditch Mitch.

There’s still time for us to make up the difference, but we’re counting on grassroots donors like you to give right now:

Please, can you chip in $5 or more right now – whatever you can spare before the deadline – so that we can help Amy McGrath defeat Mitch McConnell next November? Every dollar you give today will help us get back on track to hitting our goal and finally send McConnell packing in 2020.

What happens in the next 72 hours will help set the tone for the next 12 months and whether or not we will be able to actually take on the most powerful man in Washington and win.

We can’t thank you enough for being a part of this growing grassroots movement from the start.

Thanks for everything,

The Ditch Mitch Fund
