Hail Mary.

I like to be transparent with you about our fundraising efforts so I’m sharing the truth Friends, it’s Ed. I like to be transparent with you about our fundraising efforts so I’m sharing the truth: Our FEC fundraising deadline closes on Saturday, and we are still short of where we need to be to me…

I wouldn’t send this email...

Friends — Here’s the truth: I wouldn’t send this email if I didn’t feel I had to. I don’t like to send too many emails to you. And I try not to reach out on a Sunday when many folks are rightfully taking some time for themselves. But the reason I’m reaching out despite that is because, frankly, …

Will you be one of the folks who help get us across the finish line? Friends — Is there anything we could say to convince you to make a contribution to Ed Markey before our FEC deadline comes to a close at the end of the month? What if we told you that every donation helps Ed continue to fight f…

“If everyone reading this...”

Friends — You’ve probably heard or read me say the phrase, “If everyone reading this chipped in right now, we’d meet our goal today.” It’s kind of a mind-blowing idea, isn’t it? A contribution of $5 or $10 may not seem like much. And it’s certainly true that one person’s contribution alone isn’t…

You, me, and the FEC

Friends — I’m sure you know by now that I try to be radically honest about our fundraising when I send you these emails. So here’s the truth: Earlier this week, my team let you know that at the end of the month, we’re legally required to report our fundraising numbers to the FEC. The FEC is the …

Why I’m supporting Summer Lee for re-election

Friends, I’m beyond excited to support Summer Lee as she launches her campaign for re-election! Summer made history last year when she became the first Black Congresswoman elected in Pennsylvania and beat out millions of dollars in corporate PAC spending against her. But she didn’t let it slow h…

Resign. Now.

A $5 movement

Friends — $5. That amount is so crucial to meeting our goal for our August fundraising deadline. You may be wondering what a $5 contribution can possibly do when we’re up against corporate PACs, fossil fuel interests, and far-right mega-donors who want to stop our movement in its tracks. The tru…
