John, today is Giving Tuesday! I know that your inbox is probably full of emails just like this one, but can I take just a minute to explain why I'm asking for your donation today?

I'll cut to the chase here: We're running out of time to stop the climate crisis. Although we've celebrated some inspiring victories in the past years, like the Inflation Reduction Act, it's still not enough. To turn things around, we need bold solutions and fierce leaders fighting climate change at all levels – national, regional, and local. 

But for that to happen, we're counting on grassroots activists like you to make serious investments to support these climate leaders. So today, I'm asking you to join me in this fight by splitting a donation between my campaign and the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN). Here's the best link to send your Giving Tuesday gift: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/carpergt

By donating today, you're making a meaningful investment in our planet's future. Your gift will go directly to advocating for real solutions that will get us back on track to stopping the climate crisis. And John, I'm really counting on you to step up here.

You see, our Giving Tuesday midnight deadline is just a few hours away – and we're still $1,903 short of our goal! So I'm asking you one last time: Please, will you invest in our planet's future by making a donation before 11:59 p.m. tonight? Here's that link again: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/carpergt

Thank you for standing with me in this fight. Beating climate change is an uphill battle, but together, I know that we will win.

With gratitude and warm wishes,

Tom
