Brand New Congress extends our love and solidarity to all people impacted by the recent hurricanes in the Caribbean, Florida, and South Carolina. In an effort to be mindful of the needs of impacted communities, we have restricted the recipients of this fundraising email to people outside storm-affected areas.

If you’d like to help, you can find resources and multiple ways to give here.

John – Last night we made a BIG ask of all of our supporters, and so many of you came through.

Thanks to everyone who pitched in – with an average donation of $19 – we closed a HUGE gap in our fundraising over the last week of the month and ended the quarter just $926 shy of our minimum goal.

There’s a lot going on, and we know not everyone is able to donate right now. We are grateful for ALL of our supporters however you contribute, whether it’s spreading the word about our work on social media, volunteering with our candidates, or donating. All of it makes an impact, and all of it is necessary for our movement to succeed.

These next few weeks are going to be decisive for our candidates and our country. BNC has activists, organizers, and bold, progressive community leaders on the ballot from New York to California, and from Tennessee to Texas.

With your help, Brand New Congress has an unprecedented opportunity to grow progressive power in Congress. Our candidates are running to fill open seats, flip red seats, and oust corporate-funded, career politicians.

Voting is already underway in several states, and more will be voting soon, so this is crunch time. If you didn’t get a chance to give yesterday, could you pitch in now to help us start October strong?

America is at a turning point, John. The ballots cast in the next few weeks will either usher in a new generation of progressive leaders to take our country forward, or allow Republicans to take back control and set every progressive priority back for a generation.

A lot of folks are scared and worried right now, and it’s our job – collectively, as a movement – to uplift one another and remain united.

This November, let’s stand together and send a whole new generation of progressive leaders to Washington to join the fight for our future.

In solidarity,

Brand New Congress
