| Jason, We're staring down the final few days before our final quarterly FEC deadline of the election. And I'm thrilled that a generous supporter has agreed to match every grassroots donation made before the deadline. But let me take a step back and explain why this is such a big deal. In politics, especially since the rise of Trump, there are a lot of bad actors out there doing everything they can to squeeze every dollar out of people like you. Unfortunately, that includes lying. I'm willing to bet that most of the "match" offers you see in your inbox from political campaigns are misleading at best and sometimes straight-up fictional. Trump himself was offering supporters an 11X match a few years back — they're either telling an obvious lie, or they're in obvious violation of election law. (Or maybe both!) Our donor match, on the other hand, is real. I've talked to this supporter several times directly. It's someone who believes in our mission deeply and who is passionate about wanting to lend his support in a way that helps inspire others to do the same. I deeply admire and appreciate that idea because, at the end of the day, a grassroots operation is only as strong as the people who show up to build it. So yes, it's true: Your donation today goes twice as far toward funding our outreach to pro-democracy voters in the top battleground states. Chip in right now and take advantage of this one-of-a-kind opportunity before our FEC deadline. From the very start of my first campaign, it's been important to me that I never take for granted the people who show up to help. And I never — ever — want to abuse the trust you've placed in me and our organization. That's why I refuse to sell or give away your contact information. It's why I insist on getting into the weeds of our plans and our theory on the case, because you deserve to know what you're investing in. And it's why I'll never resort to misleading or predatory tactics to try to get you to fork over a few extra dollars. Honestly, that's just no way to treat people. There are some "experts" out there, I'm sure, who think I'm naive for doing things this way. But frankly, I don't give a damn what they think. And people like you are proving me right — chipping in what you can when you can to fund our program. This quarterly FEC deadline is one of those moments that truly matter. It's the last one of this election, and what we raise from now until midnight on the 30th will determine how aggressive we can be before Election Day. Rush in your donation, and it'll be doubled to reach twice as many pro-democracy voters in battleground states. Thank you, for everything. Amy
