We rely 100% on grassroots donations.
We'll get right to the point, John:
Since winning the election last year, our online fundraising has slowed dramatically. A small slowdown is natural after a busy period like an election, but we're starting to get antsy that our numbers won't pick up in time to cover our operational costs.
Here's a screenshot directly from our ActBlue:
What does a campaign do in the off-year? Great question. Much of what we do during the “off-year” lays the groundwork for success during an election year, for Cori that means:
- Amplifying her legislative work in Congress.
- Combating attacks from far right extremists and media outlets like Fox News
- Educating the public about her policies in ways that are accessible, like how a Green New Deal for Cities could impact their town, or how the fall of Roe v. Wade impacts their access to health care.
- Ensuring Cori has a strong presence in her community, and much more.
These efforts create a strong foundation for victory during the Election Year — and we cannot miss opportunities by falling short on our end-of-month goals. That's why we're hoping we can count on this grassroots movement to step up and help us make up the difference over the next few days.
Will you chip in $5 or more now to help us close the February fundraising gap?
Chip in $5
We believe our movement should be grounded in people — not special interests. It's why Cori doesn't accept a cent from corporate PACs, and it's how she's able to fight for people-first solutions in Congress like Medicare for All and student debt cancellation.
But that means we rely 100% on grassroots donations of $5, $10, or $15 to power our movement to re-elect the first activist from the movement in defense of Black lives elected to federal office.
It's really important we receive enough contributions to stay on track with our projections and ensure we have the resources to keep Cori in Congress — chip in $5 today.
Thank you,
Team Cori
