re: the Democratic Unity Fund

The growth of the Democratic Unity Fund is all due to grassroots supporters.
DemocratsJoin us.

Hi, there --

I'm the director of online fundraising at the DNC and since you're an engaged Democrat, I want to be transparent with you about the recent progress of the Democratic Unity Fund and what we still need ahead of this upcoming critical deadline. Since Barack Obama announced the fund, the number of its grassroots donations has grown by leaps and bounds. Just take a look:

Democratic Unity Fund donation growth

The initial jump in donations you see is when Barack Obama launched the Democratic Unity Fund last May. His endorsement was followed by Nancy Pelosi, Madeleine Albright, and 13 of our 2020 presidential primary candidates. Each endorsement brought in a surge of grassroots supporters ready to invest in strengthening our party and electing Democrats from the top of the ticket to local races in communities like Montross.

'Committing to party unity is not always easy. But it is what this moment in our politics -- and our history -- demands of us. Victory begins with unifying as one team.' - Barack Obama

Right now, our party is facing the first FEC deadline since Joe Biden became our presumptive nominee -- and we still need a lot more people to step up to support the Democratic Unity Fund ahead of this Thursday at midnight in order to reach our goal. If just 45 more donors from Montross support the fund before this deadline, the Democratic Unity Fund can stay on pace, right as our party urgently needs to scale up our programs for the general election.

Make a $7 donation to the Democratic Unity Fund before Thursday's deadline to help elect Joe Biden and Democrats nationwide.


Over 170,073 donors have supported the Democratic Unity Fund so far. That's remarkable. That's 170,073 people who invested in training hundreds of organizers nationwide, expanding our DNC tech capabilities, and improving our voter data. All of this has been incredibly critical as we've adapted our strategy in light of COVID-19 to innovate how we mobilize voters from home.

The power of the Democratic Unity Fund comes from grassroots supporters like you pitching in what they can to show our presumptive nominee Joe Biden and Democrats nationwide that they have a groundswell of support behind them. We still have a way to go in order to fully support the Democratic Unity Fund, but I know with you on board, we can get there together.

If your situation allows, please be one of the 45 more donors from Montross to donate $7 to the Democratic Unity Fund before this month's deadline. This is the first FEC deadline since Joe Biden has become our presumptive nominee, so this big milestone is especially important.

Be in touch soon,

Clarke

Clarke Humphrey
Director of Online Fundraising
Democratic National Committee

P.S. Our greatest strength is a unified, mobilized Democratic Party. Support Democrats and grow the Democratic Unity Fund ahead of this critical deadline by donating $7 directly to the fund today.

Time is running out

We've been in the general election for just under a month, and already so much has changed for our party.
DemocratsJoin us.

So much has changed for our party since the general election began just a few weeks ago.

First, Joe Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee. Then, he was endorsed by Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren -- just to name a few! Now, Democrats are uniting behind Joe Biden, and the DNC is doing everything possible to support his campaign and Democratic candidates down the ballot. That's where the Democratic Unity Fund comes in.

Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Joe Biden

The Democratic Unity Fund was announced by Barack Obama and the DNC to support the presidential nominee and Democrats nationwide. Now that the general election has begun, it's more important than ever to commit to electing Democrats at all levels. But time is running out to support the Democratic Unity Fund before Thursday's deadline -- the first FEC deadline of the general election.

April's FEC deadline is Thursday at midnight.

Will you make a $7 donation to the Democratic Unity Fund before Thursday at midnight? This is the first FEC deadline of the general election, and Democrats nationwide are counting on you.


One of the biggest reasons the Democratic Unity Fund is so critical is that it will help close the gap between our Democratic candidates and their Republican opponents. The GOP has a big fundraising advantage. While we don't need to match them dollar for dollar, we do need to provide our candidates with as much support as possible so that their messages aren't drowned out by waves of GOP attack ads. If just a few more people from Virginia support the fund before Thursday's FEC deadline, we'll be on the right track heading into May.


Many people from your state have supported the Democratic Unity Fund.

So, will you chip in $7 before Thursday's deadline? I hope I can count on your support.

Stay safe,

Patrick

Patrick Stevenson
Chief Mobilization Officer
Democratic National Committee

P.S. It's on all of us to build the strongest Democratic Party in our history, and we don't have long to do that. We're counting on commitments from Democrats like you. Take a look at what we have on file for your support of the Democratic Unity Fund, then make a $7 donation to it.

laying the groundwork for 2021

We want to achieve the most transparent and fair redistricting process ever in 2021.

Hi Diane! We're all working incredibly hard to lay the groundwork for the most transparent and fair redistricting process ever in 2021, but we're a little behind on our April goal.

It's SUPER important that we get back on track as soon as possible. Please take a second to read over the email below, and when you're done, rush a donation (if you can) to help us win fair maps in 2021 and beyond!

-- Amanda

From: End Map Manipulation
Subject: We're almost to Phase 3

Diane,

Back when we launched the NDRC with the support of President Obama, we planned our work in three phases:

Supporters like you helped us win our first elections and educate the public and elected officials about the importance of redistricting. That got us to where we are today.

Now we’re in the critical second phase of our work: We’re working with our affiliates to expand into more states and building grassroots power on the ground. We’re developing state-of-the-art mapping tools to help draw fair maps, and we’re preparing to win even more elections. It’s all so we can get to the third phase: Execute.

2021 will be here before we know it and that’s the year we’ve been working toward. That’s the year our movement is going to achieve the most transparent and fair redistricting ever.

But all this can only happen with your help, Diane! We’ve never needed you more. Will you chip in to help us finish growing and get ready to EXECUTE our plan to get fair maps?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Express donate $5 >>
Express donate $15 >>
Express donate $25 >>
Express donate $50 >>
Or, donate a different amount >>

re: my personal goal as Chair of our party...

Today, the DNC looks massively different than it did in the wake of the 2016 election. And that's a good thing.
DemocratsJoin us.

I'll be completely honest with you: Today, the DNC looks massively different than it did in the wake of the 2016 election. That's a good thing.

In early 2017, we were rudderless. Between the hack of the DNC and losing an election to the most unfit person to ever run as the nominee of a major party -- not to mention losing trust among grassroots activists, donors, and our elected leaders -- it was obvious we had to rebuild our party from the ground up. That meant investing in talent and long-term infrastructure, like data, technology, and organizing, and rebuilding trust with Democrats across the country.

And that is exactly what our new leadership did. When I joined as chair, I made it my goal to learn from the past and to listen to the grassroots to rebuild this organization into the strongest DNC in modern history.

The Democratic Unity Fund is a critical piece of that strategy and a vitally important initiative to defeating Donald Trump in 2020. The fund, announced by President Obama, serves to provide a major launchpad for Democrats at all levels -- now including presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. By scaling up critical organizing and data programs early, the DNC can give the Biden campaign -- not to mention Democrats running for seats nationwide -- the well-resourced operation they'll need to compete with Trump and the GOP's reelection machine.

As of today, we're still behind where we need to be to fully support the Democratic Unity Fund ahead of Thursday's FEC deadline. So, I must ask:

If you can, please make your first $7 contribution directly to the fund to help close the gap for Democrats up and down the ballot. If every person reading this message pitched in even a modest amount, we could get back on track ahead of Thursday's deadline -- the very first FEC deadline of the general election.


Here's your Democratic Unity Fund supporter record:

I want to reiterate how vital the Democratic Unity Fund is, especially right now. The bulk of the work the fund supports must be done early on in order for our programs to be operating at full capacity by the time our candidates need them. That means that an investment in the fund made now -- while it's still early enough to put that donation to work -- will pack a bigger punch than one made in the final days right before Election Day.

I told you before that I would be completely honest with you. We still have a way to go in order to fully support the Democratic Unity Fund. We can get there if committed supporters like you step up to make your first investment in our party this cycle. I'll ask you directly:

Will you make a $7 investment in the Democratic Unity Fund ahead of this Thursday's end-of-month deadline? I wouldn't be asking if it weren't important.

Thank you for being there for Democrats, especially in tough moments. Your commitment to our party does not go unnoticed or unappreciated -- I am so grateful to have you on this team.

In unity,

Tom

Tom Perez
Chair
Democratic National Committee

P.S. Our records show that you have not made a donation directly to the Democratic Unity Fund this cycle. If your financial situation allows, please donate your first $7 to the fund before Thursday's end-of-month deadline.
