Sorry to bother you on the weekend. Today is our end-of-quarter finance deadline and I wanted to reach out to you with an urgent update. FairVote Minnesota is facing a critical challenge, and we need your help to overcome it.                                                                                                                                           
RIght now, a grave threat now looms over the future of RCV. As you may already know, there is an anti-democratic effort to repeal RCV in Minnetonka. This repeal effort by RCV foes poses a significant challenge to the progress we've made. The stakes are high, and we cannot afford to lose the ground we've gained in promoting a more inclusive democracy.            
Early voting has already begun, and we MUST get the word out to educate voters in an off-year election. Fortunately, a group of supporters has stepped up to match every donation up to $10,000 until midnight tonight. Will you help with a donation today to our Minnetonka organizing fund?

Our goal for this end-of-September fundraising campaign is to raise $20,000. These funds are essential to support our efforts to fight against the repeal of RCV in Minnetonka.
