John, I know you’ve been getting a lot of emails this week, and your inbox is crowded. Please, hear me out on this one, ok? Thank you.
Today is a BIG budget deadline for Real Justice. In less than 14 hours, we need to hit our critical budget goal, and as I’m writing this we are still $4,976 short.
If we fall short, our opponents who’ve launched unprecedented attacks this year against our incredible justice champions will have more room to take advantage of that shortfall.
The most important reason I want us to hit this goal is because the amount we raise RIGHT NOW will directly determine how big and impactful our plans will be heading into May and June races. We are absolutely counting on a surge of quarter-end donations before today is over.
When I see donations from people like you come in response to emails like this one, it gives me hope, John.
It gives me hope to know that there are people who believe in our mission so deeply — our mission to end mass incarceration, elect leaders who will transform what justice looks like in this country, hold police accountable, and create real justice for our communities from the bottom up.
It gives me hope that no matter what our opponents throw at us, it will never be a match for the power that we have together. We can move mountains, John.
I am beyond grateful to be in this fight with you.
Love and appreciate you,
Shaun
