Friends -

I just got off a meeting with our fundraising team and I wanted to make sure you were in the loop.

As you know, our October fundraising deadline ends tonight at midnight. At the start of this month our fundraising team set a goal that we needed to hit to ensure our campaign has the resources we need.

I asked them to crunch the numbers, and here’s the truth: we need a big, big day today if we want to pass that goal before midnight. And we can’t have a big, big day without your help.

It may not seem like your $3 will make the difference. But that’s the great thing about a grassroots movement—it’s not just your $3.

It’s thousands of regular people chipping in what they can, when they can. And when everybody steps up and does their part, that $3 turns into enough to beat our goal and go head to head with the fossil fuel lobby and Republican super PACs.

So please. You might not have woken up today planning to make your first contribution to our campaign, but with only a few hours left, we need you.

Chip in your first $3 donation before our October deadline comes to a close at midnight tonight >>

CONTRIBUTE $3

In solidarity,

Ed Markey
