We’re reaching out to ask you something important:
In a few days, April will be here — and primary season will be upon us. For our campaign that means: in-person events, on-the-ground organizing across California’s 17th Congressional district, voter outreach, majorly expanding our digital program — in short, using every tool we have to defend this seat and protect our progressive power in Congress.
We believe in the power of this grassroots campaign. We know our progressive caucus in the House is only going to grow stronger. We’re going to win more historic victories for working people, and bring America closer to Medicare for All and a Green New Deal.
But the path isn’t finished yet — every day, it’s paved by people like you.
Specifically, we’re looking for your help as one of the few campaigns to reject ALL contributions from PACs and lobbyists — which means millions of dollars left on the table. And the truth is, our grassroots fundraising has taken a significant dip. We’re in danger of ending the quarter thousands of dollars short of what’s required for our campaign budget.
We are personally asking if you can help us move forward in our goal to raise $20,000 in online donations by midnight on March 31. It’s what we need to raise to build Ro’s re-election campaign and continue carving out progressive power in Congress.
Will you please make your first contribution to our campaign now?
If we fall short of this end-of-quarter fundraising goal, we won’t only be hamstringing our ability to reach and turn out voters in Ro’s district. We’re required to report our end-of-quarter fundraising numbers to the Federal Election Commission — meaning our grassroots deficit becomes public information.
Truth be told, that’s a worst-case scenario. Ro would become a target, and our movement to prove we don’t need corporate money in politics would be seriously hurt.
But we still have time to turn the tide. That’s why we’re asking if you’ll pitch in today. If you’re proud of the work our movement is doing to support working families, from raising the minimum wage to advocating for Medicare for All, now is a critical time to show your support.
Thank you for your time, your generosity, and your belief in our movement.
In solidarity,
Team Ro Khanna
