John, I’m writing to you today to ask for an important favor:
Right now, we’re just a handful of donations away from hitting our goal and making sure our team has the resources we need to continue fighting for bold, much-needed change in Congress.
Can you donate $17.43 or anything you can to help us reach our FEC end-of-quarter goal tonight?
I’ll explain why $17.43 later in this email.
We’re proud to say that on an email like this, our average online donation is $17.43. That might not seem like a lot, but there’s a lot of power in that number.
This number represents the movement we’re building: We don’t accept a single cent from corporate PACs and unlike many of my colleagues in Congress — I don’t rely on billionaire friends to fund my work. We rely on everyday folks to power our movement — that’s why our average donation is only $17.43.
Your $17.43 donations are why I’m able to push for policies that center everyday people (not wealthy donors) in Congress.
Your $17.43 donations are why I’m able to focus on organizing and legislating for bold solutions like the People’s Response Act, a Green New Deal, and Medicare for All.
Your $17.43 donations are why we’re making historic progress pushing the needle on issues including racial justice, workers' rights, health care, reproductive rights, and so much more. That’s powerful, John.
If we keep working like this, putting our $17.43 donations together — we’re confident we can transform our politics and bring transformative change to our communities.
That’s why today I’m asking for a favor: I’m ready to continue doing this work, but I can’t do this alone. I need your support as we organize and legislate in Congress for an agenda that puts people first. If you can afford it, will you chip in $17.43 or anything you can to help us reach our end-of-quarter goal tonight?
Thank you for all of your support.
Your Congresswoman loves you,
Cori
