short note

    Hey friends — we promise we’ll keep this quick. We know we’ve emailed a number of times about tonight’s FEC fundraising deadline over the last few days. Believe us, we get the emails too. But the truth is that right now we’re still a touch short of where we need to be, and we’re hoping that s…

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 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…
