John,
Wow.
I’m absolutely thrilled to report back after the holidays and let you know that not only did we reach our End-of-Year fundraising goal, we surpassed it!
Small-dollar contributions from almost 3,500 grassroots donors at an average of $19.52 means that in just a few short days, you’ve delivered more money for DFA to put towards phone-banking and canvassing, online and TV ads, on-the-ground events and mobilizing, and resources for our endorsed progressive candidates to win in November.
You don’t need me to tell you how important 2020 will be. This is our opportunity to flip the Senate, defend the Squad and Democratic majority in the House, and send dangerous right-wing conservatives like Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and Lindsey Graham packing.
Together we helped drive the Blue Wave in 2018: electing the most diverse Congress in all of American history, with more progressives, women, and people of color winning seats at the table. In 2020, we will continue to ensure the New American Majority is well represented in Washington.
Thank you, John, for helping us prepare for this new year -- and new decade -- which is sure to be filled with tough fights and the potential for groundbreaking positive change.
We are just getting started,
-Yvette
