I know you’re probably getting a lot of emails, especially as we near the end of the fundraising quarter, so I appreciate you taking a moment to open this one. 

John, I’m writing because I urgently need your support today. We are still trending short of our June budget requirements, and our team just had to adjust our goal down a few thousand dollars to a more realistic target. Unfortunately, even with our new, lower goal, we are still $6,338 short of what we absolutely have to raise this month.

Here’s the good news! We can catch up immediately if 634 people give just $10. Or 374 gave our average donation of $17. That’s just a fraction of the people reading this message right now. Can you be one of them?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express,

your donation will go through immediately:

We’ve seen the lengths that dark money groups and the political establishment are willing to go to keep things just the way they are – but you and I know the status quo has got to go.

You have already made a difference in our movement this year. Early support from Brand New Congress helped Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick win her primary by just FIVE votes – and those five votes put her in Congress.

Then you helped us make Charles Booker the first Black man nominated for U.S. Senate from the commonwealth of Kentucky, and put Angélica Dueñas over the top in her primary for CA-29.

We’ve had a LOT of close elections this year, though, and some not so close. Between gerrymandering, crypto PACs, and shifting primary dates, we have to be ready for anything to support our candidates.

That’s what makes these fundraising goals so crucial, John. When we miss a target, it limits the support we’re able to offer our candidates. In elections that turn on just a handful of votes, every dollar makes an impact.

We only need a few hundred people pitching in $10 or $17 today to get us back on track. Can we count on your support?
