average

  John, did you know our average donation last month was $13.46? That may not seem like a lot to you, but we couldn’t be prouder of that number. While Republicans are taking in huge checks from shady lobbyists, our work is entirely powered by folks like you chipping in $10 or $15 a…

What we’re fighting for

  It’s easy to get bogged down in the drama of the many (many!) failed Speaker votes this week, but let’s take a moment to remember all the things Congress wasn’t working on while Republicans had petty fights over their own egos: Paid Family Leave Voting Rights Reproductive Freedo…

Lauren Boebert live-tweeted Nancy Pelosi’s location during the insurrection

  It’s the anniversary of the violent insurrection at our nation’s Capitol two years ago, and we haven’t forgotten that while most Members of Congress were hiding for their own safety, Lauren Boebert was live-tweeting Nancy Pelosi’s location as rioters stormed the building, looking…

stuck in a loop

  John,  We’re heading into our third day of the Speaker of the House vote, stuck in a seemingly endless loop we can’t escape. That means three days without a functioning Congress, as no Members can be sworn in and no work can be done.  We’re so far over the line of absurd. Voters …

😬

  John,  While the American people are waiting on Congress to make progress on voting rights, reproductive freedom, and pay equality, Republicans are fighting over their own egos. And nothing can get done until they elect the next Speaker — new members of Congress can’t even be swo…

First time in 100 years

  John,  We’re just a few hours into Republicans’ control of the House of Representatives, and it’s already a mess.  For the first time in a hundred years, a floor vote for Speaker of the House failed after Kevin McCarthy was unable to win the necessary majority to be elected. In f…

Wish Katie Porter a happy birthday! >>

  John,  It’s Katie Porter’s birthday!! And she’s getting one of the best presents — she’s getting sworn in to the United States Congress. We’re so glad to have Katie and her whiteboard fighting for us in the House of Representatives, so let’s show her how much we appreciate her wo…

Last chance

  John,  There are just a few hours left until the end of 2022, which means there are just a few hours left until our final end-of-quarter fundraising deadline of the year.  This is our most important deadline of the year, and we’re still a little short of hitting our 5,000 contrib…

We’re still missing your contribution

  Hey John,  We just checked our records, and we still don’t see your name on our list of 2022 supporters. We’re hoping we can convince you to chip in today to add your name to our end-of-year report before time runs out.  This is our most important fundraising deadline of the year…

What if I told you?

  John,  Is there anything I can say to convince you to chip in $10 before our end-of-year fundraising deadline?  What if I told you our team relies almost exclusively on donations we receive in response to emails like this one to fund our work? Or if I said we are working on our p…

Experts are saying

  Here’s the truth, John: We’re experiencing something experts in politics call a “holiday slump” — a slowdown in fundraising around this time of year.  It makes sense. Folks are spending more time with family, or traveling, and less time reading emails like this one. But we rely o…

$1.00 x This Team

  John,  In just a moment, we’re going to ask if you can spare $1 to help fund our efforts to elect more women into Congress. If you want, you can cut to the chase by donating your four quarters right here, but here’s why it’s so important.  We set an end-of-year goal to raise 5,00…

We couldn’t do this without you

Our candidates deserve our support

  John, It can be hard to be a woman running for office — take it from me. You have so many more considerations and have to face so many more obstacles than your male counterparts.  But with reproductive freedom on the line, it’s never been more important to elect more women. That’…

URGENT: Mitch McConnell is trying to kill the SHIELD Act

  This is URGENT John: As you read this, Republicans are trying to trash the SHIELD Act.  The bipartisan SHIELD Act would make revenge porn illegal on the federal level. We still have a chance to pressure Congress and get them to pass this bill — but we need to act NOW.  Please cal…

Did you see Katie’s message? It’s important

Why this fight matters to me

  Hi John,  This email is a bit longer than the ones I normally send, but I have a lot to say about this issue.  I first ran for Congress because I saw a broken political system, one that ignored working families and instead served powerful interests. I wanted to be a voice for the…

Make revenge porn illegal

We’re running out of time.   This is urgent, John: Because Republicans are playing partisan games, Congress is not currently slated to pass the SHIELD Act, which would finally make revenge porn a federal crime.  This is one of HER Time’s top priorities, so our team is doing everyth…

*1,961 votes*

  John,  One of our stellar frontline candidates, Jahana Hayes, won her most recent election by just 1,961 votes — a margin of less than 1 percentage point.   When an election is that close, every single thing we do (or don’t do!) makes a difference. That’s why we fight our asses o…

205 Republicans voted against marriage equality
