After an election, most establishment politicians stop giving a damn. No more campaign promises or appearances. The airwaves clear. Donations dry up.
?
For us, the election is just the beginning. That's why we're asking you to make an extra donation before January 1. Our leadership team is meeting on January 7th, and what we raise in the next few weeks will help inform our decisions for 2023.

Here's what's at stake:
?
Please help us support the 24 WV Can't Wait elected officials now serving in office (more than twice as many as we had in 2020). Your dollars will help us do things like policy research, governance training, and textbanking to their constituents -- to gather input on legislation and connect folks to services (like help with rent and utilities).
?
Please help us support our Morgantown Can't Wait team, that's combining tenant organizing with electoral politics. Your dollars will pay for door cards to help us canvass low-income and public housing tenants in Morgantown.
?
Please help us support our 2024 Strategy process. Your dollars will help our volunteer leadership team conduct a survey and face-to-face meetings with hundreds of West Virginia Can't Wait members over the next 6 months to help us prepare for 2024 and beyond.
?
Please help us support our on-going Mental Health and Movement Safety Teams. Your dollars will help pay for professional security help and staff to maintain our free mental health services program.
?
We're not funded by giant corporations and fat-cat individual donors. We're funded by you. The more we raise, the more we can do. If you want to hop on the phone about any of this, please don't hesitate to let us know!
?
And if you are tapped out of money and time right now, we understand that too. We hope this can be a season for filling your cup back up.
?
In solidarity,
Katey & Stephen
