Friend, I know you're busy, so I'll make this quick: 

My finance team just went through our fundraising numbers for January, and we're just $2,205 short of our final goal of the month. I know that seems like a lot of ground to make up before the clock strikes midnight, but, if just 147 people reading this email gave $15 right now, we'd hit this goal within seconds.

Friend, I'm counting on YOU to be one of those 147 people. The funds we raise before the month ends will power us through our long fight for progress ahead – and with Trump running for president again in 2024, we need every dollar we can get. 

So I have to ask, one last time: Will you rush a donation right now to help me continue my fight for progress, justice and equality in this new year? I need 147 people to step up before 11:59 p.m. tonight and I'm still missing your support.

Thank you for your help, friend. I can't wait to see all that we accomplish together this year.

Ben Ray
