We’ll get straight to the point, team. We’re nearly halfway through the month, but we’re not on track to reach our November fundraising goal.

Our small-dollar campaign refuses to accept corporate PAC donations. Instead, we rely on individual donations of $5, $10, or more at a time to power our work — from helping elect strong progressives up and down the ballot, to preparing for what’s bound to be an expensive race in 2022, to supporting Ilhan in Congress as she fights for bold, transformative change.

Can you chip in any amount ahead of our mid-month deadline to help us continue our work for progress? We only have one day to close this gap and get back on track.

We may be a year out from Ilhan’s next election, but our campaign is fighting to advance a progressive agenda year-round. That’s why it’s so important that we meet each and every fundraising target to make sure we have the resources to keep up our critical work. Here are just a few examples of what your grassroots donation can go toward:

• Supporting our organizing efforts to put more progressive voices in the halls of power, from local offices to statehouses to Congress.


• Getting ready for the tough election year ahead — last year, our opponents and ultraconservative groups poured upwards of $12 million into our race to try to defeat Ilhan. And with the House majority hanging by a thread, you can bet Republicans and their mega-donors will throw everything and the kitchen sink at our campaign in an attempt to unseat Ilhan and take back the House.


• Helping Ilhan focus on her work for bold, transformative change in Congress. Right now, she’s holding the line to make sure we pass a Build Back Better Act that includes paid leave, lower prescription drug prices, climate action, and more — once-in-a-generation investments that our communities deserve.

So, please add a donation of any amount to make sure we hit our monthly fundraising target and have the resources to continue our work for a brighter future:
