Kia ora John,

Thanks to so many generous supporters, we're within $4,716 of our fightback fund's target.

Honestly, I've been overwhelmed with the support the party has received through this campaign. Thank you so much to the 1,000+ people who have contributed already and had their impact doubled by our incredible matching fund donors.

We're very nearly there, John, but the job isn't quite done yet. Can you help us get the rest of the way?

Remember, every dollar you donate towards this target gets matched, dollar for dollar, so you double your impact. Donating $20 knocks $40 off the target. Donating $100 gets us $200 closer. Every little bit helps. What do you say - are you in, John?

I'm aware also that many of you would like to contribute but can't afford to. I get where you're coming from, and I want to thank you for the multitude of other ways you contribute to our movement.

If you are in a position to contribute, though, I'd love to be able to report to Chris Hipkins that the party achieved this important target as he leads the fightback against the government's budget and dreadful changes to pay equity. If you can afford it, can you help us get over the line?

Ngā mihi maioha,

Jill Day, Labour President
