Jason, A few weeks ago, I visited the Land of Oz museum in Liberal, Kansas. While there, I watched a clip from the movie of Dorothy and Toto with her trusty sidekicks: The Scarecrow, who needed a brain; the Tin Man, who needed a heart; and the Cowardly Lion, who needed courage. Jason, I was struck by how that sums up exactly what’s wrong with Washington, D.C. right now. Too many politicians in Washington have lost their minds. They’re not using their critical thinking skills to solve problems. They’re not thinking for themselves or their constituents; they’re doing what their president tells them to. Too many politicians have lost their hearts. They go to Washington and get too busy to listen to their constituents. They lose sight of why they ran for office and who they’re in D.C. to represent. And too many politicians have lost the courage to stand up to the president and say no. To refuse to vote for a bill that will take money out of the pockets of people back home and give it to billionaires. To stand up for what’s right, even if the president is going to bully you, primary you, or call you names. That is why we need to elect leaders who will have the heart, brains, and courage to stand up for what’s right, even when it’s hard. That means making massive investments in organizing, infrastructure, and turnout between now and Election Day. Jason, the end of this month is our last end-of-quarter deadline before Election Day. That means everyone – including my opponent Sen. Marshall and his allies – will see firsthand how strong our movement is. That FEC report tells the country something words can't. It shows how many people are standing up for something different. Something better and truer to our values.

Heart, brains, and courage
We can win if we organize together
Last week, the Republicans in Washington looked out at all the challenges facing the country right now and decided to close up the House of Representatives until after the midterm elections.
Since I won’t need to be in Washington for the next few weeks, many people have asked me what my plans are.
While many are speculating that I’m thinking about 2028, I am fully focused on Democrats taking back the House and winning a majority in the Senate so we can get to work on an agenda to make life better for working people and to hold the Trump Administration accountable.
If we are going to achieve systemic change — from single-payer healthcare and universal childcare to a living wage and strong workers' rights — we need to build a nationwide movement to make it a reality now.
That means with the 43 days left before election day, we must be campaigning everywhere. In rural and urban communities. In red and blue districts. And especially in places the pundits tell us Democrats cannot win. From New York to Florida, Tennessee to Montana, working people are demanding change and we must speak directly to the fears and anxieties all of us feel every single day.
That is exactly what I plan to do in the coming weeks now that Republicans have canceled votes in Washington.
I will share more about my plans for travel soon, but I want you to know that I am spending every single day working to make life better for working people across America.
Thank you,
Alexandria
While other politicians are funded by massive corporations and billionaire megadonors, Alexandria’s campaign is fueled 100% by people like you. Her ability to support Democrats in states like Michigan, Florida, Montana, and New York depends on our collective strength.

Is there anything we can say?

Jason, Is there ANYTHING we can say to convince you to donate to the DNC today? What if we told you that Republicans just poured over $95 million into attack ads against leading Democratic candidates in states like Georgia, Michigan, and Ohio? What if we told you that unless Democrats fight back, we could have another two years of the Trump administration with no oversight from Congress? And what if we told you that Republicans are counting on all of us becoming overwhelmed by all the news and just giving up entirely? We can’t do that, Jason — not with so much on the line. We can send a powerful message to Donald Trump and his Republican allies that Democrats are standing united. But we want to make sure you’re with us, so we’re humbly asking: If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you for stepping up to help, The Democrats  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift. We are appreciative and thank you greatly for your support.

Jason, We’re now only 43 DAYS to Election Day, so we’re here to remind you to make sure your DNC membership is up to date! We’ve been scaling up our efforts to organize, register new Democratic voters, and elect Democrats nationwide all year — and our work is only going to continue in the upcoming months. By donating today, you’re not only supporting our work to elect Democrats all around the country, you’re joining a team of thousands of other Democrats who are committed to making life better for working Americans everywhere. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you, The Democrats  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift.

We're not giving up, and neither should you.

Jason, In just a second, we’ll be asking you to donate directly to the DNC. But first, we’ll take a moment and explain the urgency and importance of your support today: At the end of the month, we’ll be required to report how much we’ve raised over the last three months. All eyes will be on that number. And a strong report with lots of donations will show Republicans just how unpopular their agenda really is. Trump and his allies would love nothing more than to see the Democrats throw in the towel and give up. We’re not giving up — neither should you. That’s why reaching our end-of-quarter fundraising goal is so important. We need to show everyone that Democrats are standing up and pushing back against Republicans’ historically unpopular agenda. We hope this message has shown you the urgency and importance of your contribution. So here comes our question for you, Jason: If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Your contribution will support the DNC's work as we continue investing in local, state, and national elections to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. This work is essential — thank you for being a part of it, The Democrats  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift.

Not a typical end-of-quarter email
September is a big end-of-quarter fundraising month for campaigns, so we’re guessing your inbox might be overflowing with panicky emails.
It’s sad how so many campaigns treat their supporters like ATMs — especially before FEC deadlines.
We are committed to treating you and other supporters with respect. That means we follow some (we think!) pretty basic rules:
- YES to sharing volunteer opportunities and emergency funds, supporting progressive candidates, providing informative content, petitions that go to someone that can actually act on them, and if you can afford to chip in, respectfully asking for your donation.
- NO to panicky subject lines, fear mongering, fake donor matches, clickbait petitions, or basically any tactic that makes you want to hit the “report spam” button.
We’re not going to beg, scare, or guilt-trip you into donating.
If today’s not the day for you to give, that’s completely okay, too. We’re glad you’re a part of this movement no matter what.
- Team AOC

Jason, We have 44 days until the midterm elections, and in a moment, I’m going to ask you to chip in to the Democratic National Committee to help Democrats win up and down the ballot this November. But first, I’d like to personally share some things with you about what I’ve been seeing on the road. I’ve traveled to some 35 states in the last year and a half, mainly talking with people in swing states and districts, and even so-called “red” states and districts. Here’s what I’ve been hearing on the ground:
Jason, our moment of maximum leverage over politicians, over Washington, and over the people in charge right now is 44 days away. And when we come together to exert that leverage, things will start to get better — and not just better than they are right now, but better than they were before. But that outcome is dependent on people like you, doing your part. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you for everything you’re doing, Jason.
