do we approve of authoritarianism?

Hey John, Today is the last day of our mid-month fundraising blitz, so it’s also your last chance to help us get ahead on our End of Quarter fundraising. We’re trying to make a big splash this quarter, because fundraising numbers are the only thing we have to gauge public support right…

Lucy has always been a target

Hey John, It’s End of Quarter month, and I promise that I don’t want to bother you. In fact, I pore over my budget every month to see what the fewest number of messages I need to send you asking for money is. This is the worst part of my job, but it’s also incredibly necessary. Lucy h…

You know what time it is

Hi John, This month is End of Quarter. You’ve been on my team long enough to know what that means: We’ll be reaching out a little bit (okay, a lot…) near the end of the month so we can finish the quarter strong. End of Quarter is coming up in 2 weeks, and we’re aiming to raise $25,000 …

Brian Kemp wants to keep kids hungry

For some weird reason, Gov. Brian Kemp seems hell-bent on keeping Georgia kids hungry. It’s true, John. Brian Kemp has been given the opportunity multiple times now to receive federal funding for the USDA’s Summer EBT program. This program would give our state federal dollars to ensure…
