Real quick, before tonight's midnight deadline

Here's the truth: The worst part about running a political campaign operation is the amount of money it takes to be successful. But I also understand that if our movement is going to fight back against the corporate interests and their billions of dollars to organize for the policies we care abo…

is there anything we can say?

A quick question for you: Is there ANYTHING we can say to convince you to make your first online $3 contribution to Ed Markey before tonight's end-of-month fundraising deadline? What if we told you that every donation we receive goes towards Ed's efforts organizing our movement and building prog…

(bump) Did you see Ed's note yesterday?

Our fundraising goals are modest, but it's for that reason we really can't afford to fall short.     We wanted to make sure you saw this, team: Yesterday morning, Ed reached out about Thursday's end-of-month fundraising deadline, and why it's so critically important we hit our goals. These fundrai…

Reaching out to ask for your financial support before this week's end-of-month fundraising deadline.

Friends - I'm reaching out this morning because today is one of those days I need to ask for your financial support. You may have noticed that this month has been an especially busy one. Between our work to pass the landmark Inflation Reduction Act and my diplomatic travels to South Korea, Taiwa…

thank you in advance

This is important — in a moment, we're going to ask you to split a donation between Maggie Hassan's campaign for Senate in New Hampshire and Ed Markey's campaign's organizing efforts. But first, we want to tell you why this race is so important. Experts are now calling the future of the Senate …

Maxwell Frost needs our help

Friends, I’m thrilled to announce my endorsement of Maxwell Frost in his historic race for Congress. Young people are demanding change. They will face the harshest consequences if Congress fails to act on climate change, gun violence, and an economic system that increasingly serves only the weal…

Last chance

The rest of the summer is shaping up to be a hugely important time for our movement. Hi there — we know it's getting late on a Sunday, so we promise we'll keep this quick. You may have seen that our team has sent a few emails over the last week or so about tonight's end-of-month fundraising deadl…

Please add your name to my petition in support of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

This is a landmark piece of legislation in our movement's fight for climate justice and the future of our planet. Friends - Earlier this week, my Democratic colleagues in the Senate announced agreement on a proposed draft of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, legislation that — if passed — woul…

Not the email we were hoping to send today

Friends - This isn't the email we were hoping to send this morning, but it's one that we have to. Yesterday, Ed reached out about our mid-month fundraising drive and how we were falling off pace to hit our July fundraising goals. Well, we fell short of where we needed to get to — and so we have …

re: Ohio Senate Poll Memo

My friend Peter Welch

There’s so much at stake this November Friends - A few weeks ago, I joined my friend Peter Welch up in Burlington to help his campaign for Senate in Vermont. I’ve known Peter for a long time, and there’s no one better to join me in this fight. I don’t need to tell you how much is on the line this…

Expand the Supreme Court

We cannot allow the far right to have the last word and continue using the Supreme Court to dismantle every right and freedom we have. We must fight back. Friends - With yesterday’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, it’s clearer now more than ever before that we must expand the broken, stolen, an…

Split a $5 contribution to abortion funds today

This is urgent. Friends - We all knew today’s Supreme Court decision striking down Roe v. Wade was coming, but that fact makes it no less infuriating. What the illegitimate and stolen Supreme Court has done today is a despicable, moral outrage — the execution of a decades-long, far-right plot to …
