Indivisibles,
When we officially became an organization and wrote [ [link removed] ]our fundraising
philosophy back in May of 2017, we made two important promises to you, our
movement.
First, we made a promise that we would be accountable to you. To do that,
we vowed to not take money from corporations, political figures or
parties, or special interests. And we’ve continued to be successful at
that strategy.
Second, we made a commitment to be transparent and honest about our
fundraising. Right now, we’ve only raised about 32% ($41,713) of our
Giving Tuesday goal of $130,000. We still have time to catch up -- but we
absolutely cannot do it without you. So we’re going to ask you again to
make an investment in our movement. Here’s why:
We try our hardest not to treat our emails like an ATM. We only ask for
money when we really have something to fund. Our development team seeks
out real, matching donors (often a generous donor or a foundation who
really likes our work) to match your donation one-for-one.
We view your donation as an investment. An investment in the thousands of
Indivisible groups across the country. An investment in what we believe
(and tens of thousands of activists across the country have used!) to be a
winning strategy. And it’s an investment in an inclusive, progressive
future.
So if you can, consider investing in our movement today. A generous donor
is matching up to $100,000 in gifts made today -- so if you’ve been
putting off giving (or giving again), now’s the time because for every
dollar you give, we get two!
If you've saved your information with ActBlue Express Lane, your donation
to Indivisible Civics will go through immediately:
[ [link removed] ]$10 becomes $20!
[ [link removed] ]$25 becomes $50!
[ [link removed] ]$50 becomes $100!
[ [link removed] ]Another amount -- it's doubled!
We knew today’s goal was an ambitious one, but that’s because our
organizational goals are ambitious. We set ambitious goals because we know
that one way or another, together we can make them happen.
And that’s what we’re doing again today: asking for your support, for your
investment in building something to last. For 2019, 2020, and beyond.

This year, grassroots donations from this movement funded three core
pieces of our work. They’re not sexy or flashy, but they’re vital to
sustaining this movement.
* We built tools for thousands of Indivisible groups. We provided
nationwide access to canvassing and phone banking tools so Indivisible
groups could talk to their friends and neighbors to mobilize and
building long-lasting power.
* We connected you with improved tools to resist. With a redesigned
site, an upgraded event map, and investments in tools, Indivisible
supporters can far more easily get engaged with their nearest group,
find nearby events, and contact their members of Congress.
* We expanded our organizing team so we could fight everywhere. We have
9 brand new, stellar organizers this year, and we now have organizers
working in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.
As we look into 2020 and 2021, our goal is to build a movement that will
last. That means we’re investing in more staff to improve trainings and
support groups in more ways and in tools that will give our members more
effective ways to communicate. But we can only do that work with your
help. So if you can, make an investment in our movement today. We’ve
secured a matching grant and your donation will be matched one-for-one.

Thanks, as always, for your support. Literally none of our work would be
possible without the hard work (and, yes, donations!) you put into this
movement.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
