Erica is unbought and unbossed — that's why grassroots contributions to emails like these are so important.

Hey! It's Jayla Gilliam, finance director for Erica Smith's campaign for U.S. Senate.

I ran the numbers, and we're $5,917 behind where we need to be to hit our mid-month online fundraising goal on April 15th.

To be upfront with you, our monthly fundraising goals aren't arbitrary. Meeting our goals makes sure that Team Erica has the resources it takes to build our moral movement from the ground up, go up against entrenched, establishment opponents, and secure progressive power in the Senate.

Will you help Erica and our campaign close the gap by chipping in $3 before tomorrow's mid-month deadline? If everyone pitches a few bucks, we'll be back on track.

North Carolina is already one of the most competitive U.S. Senate races of 2022, and it's going to take *lots* of money to run and win.

But here's the truth: Erica is unbought and unbossed. That's why we're rejecting contributions from corporate PACs, fossil fuel companies, and Wall Street Executives, and it's why contributions to emails like these are so important.

Our historic campaign for U.S. Senate is powered by small-dollar donations. So, if you can afford it, will you chip in $3 (or whatever you can) to Erica right now?

Thank you so much,

Jayla Gilliam
Finance Director
