We've had a slow start to the month.
John,
This morning we were looking at how our fundraising has been doing this month.
We won't resort to sky-is-falling tactics to try and scare you into contributing. But we do believe we're all in this together, so we want to be transparent about the fact we've had a slow start to the month:
| Time Period |
% to goal |
| March 1-15 |
47% |
| April 1-15 |
35% |
A small slowdown can be expected after a big end-of-quarter fundraising push like we had in March. But with our primary election getting closer, we can't afford to be falling short of our fundraising goals — especially since we're competing against a corporate-backed Democrat who will receive millions to weaken our campaign.
Worrying about our fundraising is the last thing we want to put on Cori's plate. That's why we rely on grassroots donations from folks like you to power our work so we don't have to ask Cori or our team members to take their focus off of legislating and organizing and spend time on fundraising.
John, it's critical we hit our $15,000 mid-month fundraising goal before midnight tonight to get back on track with our goals. Please will you chip in $5 or more to make sure our team can focus on taking on big fights in Congress, instead of worrying about our fundraising?
Chip in $5
Please believe us when we say every donation counts.
Last cycle, over $20 million was spent trying to take down Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar. So to keep Cori in Congress, we need the support of this people-powered movement.
Donations from emails like this one are how we're able to take on big fights in Congress without relying on the support of corporate PACs or special interests. Please, if you can give even $1 or $10 — any amount makes a huge difference.
Thanks,
Team Cori
