It's a tale as old as time, team: As the summer heat goes up, fundraising goes DOWN.

We call it a summer slump for a reason. And while we love to spend time away from work with friends and loved ones in the summer, our team can’t afford to fall behind right now.

As we draw closer to the end-of-month fundraising deadline, our billionaire opponent will be looking for any signs of weakness. We need to stay on top of fundraising to keep Karen's voter engagement efforts going strong. That's why we set an ambitious goal for the end of July, and with your help, we can exceed expectations.

Will you chip in $5 or more to help Karen get a head start on our $50,000 end-of-month fundraising goal? If you're an L.A. resident, your donation could be matched 6-to-1 by the city.

Listen, Karen is ready to act with urgency as mayor. She's seen the issues left on the table for too long and has real solutions.

We already know Rick Caruso will be willing to put even more millions into this race to buy City Hall. We can fight back and make Karen’s vision for the future a reality, but we're counting on your support.

Our grassroots movement is only as strong as the people who are backing it. Will you chip in what you can right now to help us get a headstart on end-of-month fundraising? Every dollar you chip in will help us keep this train moving.

We’re glad to have you on our side,

Karen Bass Finance Team
