Hi John, it’s Jessica Mackler — president of EMILYs List.

As we head into Thanksgiving week, I want to start by saying something simple: Thank you. In a year that has tested all of us, your support, your grit, and your commitment to protecting our fundamental freedoms have meant everything.

Now, something you might not know about me is that I love cooking — especially at Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite day of the year. I spend days planning, chopping, seasoning, and (let’s be honest) bossing everyone around in the kitchen. And the thing my friends and family always fight over is my famous stuffing. It’s not fancy and it’s not complicated, but it’s the dish everyone asks for year after year.

And this year, I want to share it with you. But first, I need to ask for your help.

We’re entering the final stretch of November, and we need to raise $20,000 every day to stay on track for our End-of-Month goal and build the early power Democratic pro-choice women will need to win in 2026.

We’re behind right now — and if we don’t close this gap, our work recruiting and supporting candidates early could take a real hit.

So here’s my offer:

If you donate on this email — in any amount — I’ll send you my famous Thanksgiving stuffing recipe. No match, no gimmicks, no merch — just something I love, from my kitchen to yours, as a thank-you for stepping up when it matters.

Will you chip in today to help us hit our $20,000 daily goal?

I know things feel heavy right now. But we’re already seeing powerful signs of hope — major Democratic victories in 2025 that show voters are ready to stand up for reproductive freedom and real leadership. We have real momentum, but only if we keep moving.

So, John, if you are able, will you make a donation today and help us stay on track? Donate and I’ll send you my famous stuffing recipe:

From my family to yours — thank you for being part of this movement.

Warmly,
Jessica Mackler
President, EMILYs List
