Most Members of Congress spend many hours every day fundraising for re-election. That often includes being on the phone with donors for hours each day.
It’s called “Call Time” and is considered part of the job.
But because people like you support Alexandria with small-dollar digital donations, she doesn’t do “call time.” Instead, she can spend her time answering your questions and sharing key information.
If you’ve been following Alexandria on Instagram, you may have seen that she’s been using the platform to share lots of key behind-the-scenes information on topics ranging from the future of Puerto Rico to gun control, and what to expect as a first-time voter.
Alexandria’a ability to continue sharing vital information with her 8.5 million followers and growing our movement depends on all of us pitching in with small-dollar donations. We need her time spent breaking down major issues and what’s going on in Congress – not fundraising.
Just take a look at her response to someone’s question about how she’s able to share such detailed responses to questions she receives through Instagram stories:
Everything you see on there is directly from Alexandria. No staff, just her – sharing her honest thoughts and experiences as the youngest member of Congress in history.
Alexandria is always looking for new ways to break through the barriers of “old-school” media to engage more people in politics – especially young people. It’s why she hosted a livestream on Twitch where she reached 435,000 viewers to get out the vote – which became one of the platforms 20 biggest streams ever.1
It’s why she regularly hosts Instagram Lives after major events to break down what’s going on and how you can help.
And all of this is only possible because she has the time to do it instead of making calls to wealthy donors. If you’re able to, please pitch in whatever you can to help power Alexandria’s re-election without call time.
Thank you for all of your support. It’s truly what makes it all possible.
