1 in 8 kids

We need to tackle child hunger. John, I believe in the wealthiest country on Earth, no child should go to bed hungry.  But the truth is 1 out of every 8 kids in America are at risk of child hunger - and it’s even higher for Black and Latino communities.  That’s why I’m so concerned a…

Tonight I’m making a major decision

Can you help me out? Hey John, I know you’ve been hearing from our team a lot lately, but we’re just hours away from a major deadline. Our second end-of-quarter filing deadline is coming up tonight at 9 PM PT - I just checked the numbers and we’re falling $10,500 short of our goal.  …

Being honest about your donations

It's crucial we meet our end-of-quarter goal. John, Tomorrow is Josh’s second end-of-quarter FEC deadline and there’s a possibility we will fall short of our goal if we don’t raise another $15,000.  Before we get into the numbers, can you rush a donation to help us meet this critical…

Here’s where we are at.   Hey John - it’s Martin, Josh’s finance director. I wanted to reach out because we are less than a week away from our first end-of-quarter deadline since Republicans spent FIVE FIGURES attacking Josh - and based on what has come in through ActBlue, we’re s…

A year without Roe
