Hello John,

Today is the LAST DAY of the year, and I want to make sure you saw Elianne’s message from last week (below my signature), because we have a lot planned for 2023. And we need you with us.


Donate to TakeAction Minnesota before December 31 to invest in big wins in 2023 and make more possible for Minnesotans.

Since TakeAction Minnesota was founded in 16 years ago, we’ve worked hard, year after year, to elect a progressive and representative majority. Now, it’s time to get to work to pass policies that put people ahead of profit.


Here’s just some of what we’re going to be up to in the New Year:

🌎 Support investments in clean energy, transportation, and climate adaptation resilience funds.

😷 Win paid time to care for ourselves and our loved ones when we need it most.

💊 Establish a Prescription Drug Affordability Board to stop price-gouging of lifesaving prescription drugs.


Your contribution to TakeAction will go right to work and make more possible for our people. Donate now to fuel this movement now and into 2023.

Subject: Organizing works. Invest in it.


Dear John,


As I reflect on the last year, what stands out to me the most are the moments we held each other in solidarity, in heartbreak, and in victory. Across the state, and the nation, our basic rights were put up for debate. And through it all, we stood together on the picket line, in protest, and at the ballot box.


TakeAction Minnesota’s members know, deep in our bones, that anything is possible when we show up together. Across our state, we hit the ground to defeat forces of hate, violence, and division. Our organizing worked.


2022 is coming to a close, and we have big plans for the upcoming year. Invest in powerful organizing now by making a contribution today.

Together, we re-elected all four statewide DFL executive leaders; Democrats held the Minnesota House, and we flipped the State Senate. For the first time since 2014, Minnesota has a blue trifecta. And our work over the past decade makes these the most progressive and representative majorities our state has ever had.


In total, 38 TakeAction-endorsed candidates are headed to elected office to make more possible – and win real change – for our people.


Our fiercely dedicated team reached 740,668 Minnesotans with our message, and they wanted in. In fact, so many people came to our website on Election Day for information about voting that our site crashed from heavy traffic!


And even more, we had 21,128 authentic connections with voters that get to the root of people’s values and experiences. These conversations are the most effective tool in our voter engagement toolbox: analysis of our primary election work showed that people we had two conversations with were 29% more likely to vote than those we talked with once. This deeply relational engagement was the heart of our elections work, and it is building long-term power for our work year-round.


Through it all, you were with us, too. I know how much you care about this work, John. Your support has laid the foundation for everything we’ve accomplished this year.


Now, I’m asking you to make a contribution to TakeAction Minnesota by December 31 to be a part of progressive wins in 2023.

We had so much to celebrate in Minnesota on Election Day, and now our work continues. We all remember the dangerous and divisive rhetoric used to instill distrust in our democracy throughout election season. That organized force isn’t going away, and neither are we. We must continue pressing forward with the winds of change at our backs.


Our intention is clear: this is the time to organize to pass policies that put people ahead of profit.


Give now, and together, we can rein in corporate greed, make our communities safer, win paid time to care for ourselves and our loved ones, push for major investments in our schools and homes, pass policies that support expanded access to affordable medicine, and so much more.

Thank you so much for your support, John. Together, we’re building a healthy, safe, and thriving future for all of us.


With care,

Elianne Farhat (she/her)
Executive Director
