It's the end of the quarter
That means it's time to give whatever you can to support candidates like Darcy Burner, Peter Goldmark, and Richard Wright. It doesn't matter if all you can afford is $5 or $10. Small contributions go a long way - they add up. Small contributions are also a show of support:
So even if you can't spare much, take action today and make a donation. We'll never move America forward if we don't take back the Congress.
And once a candidate can show broad support, he or she can do two things: 1) prove to the big money donors, labor unions, and PACs that the candidacy is viable and worthy of higher level support, and 2) build a list for future activism and fundraising. Richard Morrison in 2004 took the $80K we raised for him directly and turned that in $480K by the end of the campaign.A hundred people donating $10 means a thousand dollars. There's never been a better time to contribute than right now.
Yeah, that means if you donate that they'll hit you up for money again. But here's the beauty of people-power -- would you rather they be working their butts off to inspire you into giving more money, or would you rather they be talking to corporate donors to get them to open up?
So even if you can't spare much, take action today and make a donation. We'll never move America forward if we don't take back the Congress.
