John, this wasn’t the email we had hoped to send you tonight.

But as a grassroots powered organization we want to be really transparent with you. Based on this morning’s fundraising, we’re not on track to reach our $120,000 2024 Candidate Recruitment Goal.

We don’t have billionaire bankrollers or take a dime from corporate PACs, all of our work is funded by people donating $5, $15, or even $50 at a time. If we don’t see a major influx in our fundraising in the next 48 hours, we’re going to have to start looking at where to make budget cuts and that’s going to impact the work we need to do.

Will you support our work to find the next progressive fighter like AOC and Summer Lee by rushing in $3 right now?

We are in a fight for the soul of the Democratic Party and we can’t afford to slow down. Every cycle we face millions of dollars from the right-wing and the political establishment and your contributions mean so much to us to help us fight back.

If you can spare it, please pitch in before midnight.

Thank you so much for everything,

Team JD
