John,
Electing progressives and expanding the Squad doesn’t come cheap. No amount of money could compare to building progressive power and transforming our country. It’s worth it, but we still have to raise that money on our own — we’re talking hundreds of hours and lots of money that we invest into our candidates.
We’re experiencing a fundraising dip and it’s really important that we turn this ship around. We work year-round, cycle after cycle, so we have to sustain fundraising 365 days a year. We can’t afford to fall behind 18 days before the election.
Our plan is to raise $15,000 by midnight tomorrow, which should get us back on track. To put that in perspective, we raised twice as much in the 24 hours before our end-of-month deadline in September.
Without enough resources, we’ll lose more races. On the other hand, with an abundance of resources, we can give our candidates a real edge — and continue our winning streak. And just between us: we’d prefer to keep winning.
19 days from now — on the day after the election — do you want to be able to say that you did everything you could and helped elect Greg Casar, Summer Lee, and Odessa Kelly?
Thank you for being in this fight with us.
Team JD
