We only have until midnight to hit our October goal. It's an ambitious one, and that's because there's a lot we have to do between now and the Iowa caucuses.
I love Halloween.
But before it gets to be time for costumes, candy, and trick-or-treating, I wanted to take a moment to talk about something else happening today: our monthly fundraising deadline.
We only have until midnight to hit our October goal. It's an ambitious one, and that's because there's a lot we have to do between now and the Iowa caucuses.
We have to grow this movement — one grassroots donor and one volunteer at a time — to keep on the path to victory. And together, I know we'll show the wealthy and well-connected that change is coming sooner than they think. We'll root out corruption in Washington and put power in the hands of working people — where it belongs.
And it all starts with the resources we raise before tonight's midnight deadline.
This campaign is based on the core principle that everyone gets equal access.
So during big fundraising pushes like this week's, you won't see me hosting swanky fundraisers with corporate executives and private equity vampires (now, that's scary).
Instead, I spent time this week with people in New Hampshire and South Carolina and chatted with them about their big dreams for the future — and how we're going to work together to level the playing field for families everywhere.
Every day, I'm grateful to grassroots donors for making it possible to spend my time with people all across the country.
We're going to keep building our movement this way — the right way — but it only works if everyone can pitch in. And right now, we're focused on this end-of-month fundraising deadline.
P.S. As a grandma, I'm no longer on costume duty — at least, not for the kids. Every year that I get to see my grandchildren on Halloween, they give me a new assignment for their supporting cast. In the spirit of Halloween (and our end-of-month deadline), here is one of my trickiest costumes: Little Bo Peep (my granddaughter) and her Lost Sheep (me).
