Hey John, I’m Kelsey Jackson — I lead our finance team at Women’s March.
I was going through our latest fundraising numbers and I wanted to give you a quick update before our midnight deadline. Right now we are $2,198 short from reaching our $15,000 Women’s History Month goal.
Closing this gap is critical to make sure our team has the resources we need to to organize nationally and on the local level to defend our reproductive freedom, remove seditionists like Ted Cruz from Congress, and provide free organizing trainings for Women’s Marchers. If you think your donation won’t make much of a difference in helping us reach our goal, please believe me when I say it absolutely can.
Our average donation this month is $15.59. Grassroots donations from thousands of folks is how we’ve always been able to fuel this movement. It’s how we defeated Trump and it’s how we’re going to continue pushing for transformative change in our country.
$15.59 might not seem like a lot of money, but please believe me when I say that there’s so much power in this number.
It’s powerful evidence of the women-led movement we’re building. We’re creating a movement that represents the many and not the few. Together, we are building the grassroots power we need to continue removing failed leaders from office and make progress toward the feminist future we deserve.
Here are just a couple of examples of the work we’ve been able to lead thanks to donations from our supporters:
Doing this kind of work is critical if we want to continue turning the tides of our country. But here’s the harsh reality we face: According to a report by the Women's Philanthropy Institute, only about 1.6% of total charitable giving in the U.S. goes towards nonprofits like ours focused on harnessing the power of women.
That’s why this Women’s History Month we set an ambitious goal to make sure we have funding for the plans we have ahead and keep scoring big grassroots wins by and for women.
Whether you give a couple bucks, $15, or even $100 — your donation has the power to create a direct impact on what happens next for our country.
Keep fighting,
Kelsey
