We’ll be honest, team: We have a lot of ground to make up before tonight’s fundraising deadline:

After defeating our conservative primary opponent by just 2 points, we can’t leave anything to chance. We need to build a strong foundation of resources in the weeks ahead — and reaching this goal will ensure we’re able to reach voters where they are and counter the GOP’s constant attacks on our movement.

Unfortunately, we’ve seen a significant dip in donations after our primary. It’s not surprising after such a busy fundraising period early in the month. But we simply can’t afford to fall short of our fundraising goals.

We have so much organizing work to do in these final 10 weeks — and from digital outreach like these emails and online ads, to contacting voters on the ground, it gets expensive.

You can be one of the grassroots supporters who helps us catch up and afford the resources we need to elect Ilhan and progressives up and down the ballot. Please chip in any amount to help us reach our goal and power our work for progress:

When we’re falling short of a fundraising goal, we don’t reach out to corporate PACs or mega-donors for a last-minute boost. We rely on supporters like you giving what you can, when you can. Thank you for pitching in, if you’re able.
