Two quick things

Our movement is powered $5, $10, and $25 at a time. Good morning! Two quick things before the day gets away: As you may know, our people-powered campaign is funded by thousands of supporters like you chipping in small amounts. Our grassroots movement won a historic victory in 2020 raising $5, $1…

I’m incredibly proud of the way we fund our movement, but it means we need a LOT of people standing with us.

Friends - I’m emailing today to ask you to make a $3 contribution to our campaign ahead of this week’s official FEC fundraising deadline. I hope you’ll take a minute and give me a chance to explain why this request is so important, but if that’s all you need to hear to add your support, you can …

We’re walking on sunshine

It’s time to save our sunshine and make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Did you hear the news? Yesterday afternoon, the U.S. Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act, moving us one step closer to making Daylight Saving Time permanent! No more switching clocks, way more sunlight. Now the bill is …

We know $3 doesn’t seem like the kind of money that can compete with the fossil fuel giants and dark money super PACs of the world...

We have something our enemies do not $3. What does that amount of money mean to you? Think about it, and let us ask: What if you knew that contributing $3 today would help Ed Markey grow our movement and build support for our agenda across the country — would that be worth it? How about if we tol…

Daylight Saving Time

It’s a great feeling — and it’s time we make it permanent. Happy Daylight Saving Time! Over the weekend, we sprung forward and now we all get to enjoy an extra hour of sunshine this evening. The long winter is almost over, and Spring is just around the corner. It’s time to go from polar to solar …

“Half measures are no longer an option.”

Friends - Earlier this week, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a new report. As you can imagine, the news was devastating. The IPCC reiterated what we’ve known for years: without significant action, in the years ahead we will continue to see hotter temperature…

Not the email we were hoping to send this morning

Friends – This isn’t the email we were hoping to send this morning, but we fell short of our mid-quarter fundraising goal earlier this week and have no other choice. We’re emailing today to ask you to make a $3 contribution and help us close the gap. The goals we set are not arbitrary — they’re…

Let me level with you

Friends — I know your time is valuable, so I’ll get right to the point. Our mid-quarter fundraising drive ends in just a few short hours, and we’re still shy of the donation goal we set to get ourselves back on track to our goal. Let me level with you — these goals are modest. Right now, we need…

We cannot allow the fate of the constitutional right to abortion to be left to a Supreme Court with a stolen far-right majority. Friends - Last week, the Supreme Court heard arguments in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. This case marks the first time in 50 years that the Cou…
