This is an email about Giving Tuesday and how early support matters. It’s long, but I hope you’ll take a moment to read the whole thing and then make a gift to the Democratic Party.

This Giving Tuesday comes just as the window to make an early investment in our 2020 work is rapidly closing.

It's Giving Tuesday -- an international day of giving in which folks come together to support the causes they care about most. You're one of our party's top supporters, Pat, and in a moment, I'm going to ask you to make a special Giving Tuesday gift to the Democratic Unity Fund. First, I hope you'll give me a chance to explain why this Giving Tuesday couldn't be better timed for Democrats: This Giving Tuesday comes just as the window to make an early investment in our 2020 work is rapidly closing. Early support is the most important factor in our party's long-term success -- but crucially, that support is also the most difficult to come by. Pat, you stand out as someone who recognizes the importance of the task ahead of us. Who knows that success in 2020 goes beyond one candidate or one organization -- and that at its core, winning comes down to building the infrastructure every Democrat can rely on to win races at every level. That's why I've gotta ask: Will you make a special Giving Tuesday gift of $7 to support Democrats up and down the ticket? What we have the resources to build now helps not just our eventual nominee for president, but candidates down the ticket who are counting on us to provide the infrastructure they need to win in 2020. DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount What makes your early support so special is that the impact of your gift multiplies, becoming far more powerful than if you simply gave that same amount before Election Day. Here are just some of the ways that's true: Early organizing work is good organizing work. Let me tell you, Pat: There's no faking the power of good, early organizing. It's not something you can just swoop in and spend millions on a few weeks before the election. If we want to build the kind of meaningful relationships that will ensure folks get out to the polls for Democrats next Election Day, we need to be putting in the work now. We already have the programs in place, we just need your help to expand them -- that's why your early support this Giving Tuesday will have such a tremendous impact. Our critical data and tech improvements can make all the difference -- but they need lead time. A strong data and tech infrastructure has never been more important to reaching every voter. But no innovation happens overnight, and even the best teams -- and trust me, I'd count our teams among the best -- need time to plan, code, test, and implement. Our tech improvements already helped make a measurable difference in critical elections in Virginia, Kentucky, and Louisiana in 2019, and if we want to expand the scope of that work, we need to raise as much as we can now. We're developing our plans now to compete in every ZIP code. When I became DNC chair, I promised we'd fight everywhere. Together, we're doing just that -- and winning. Flipping Virginia's state legislature for the first time in decades; ousting a Republican incumbent governor in Kentucky; holding a competitive governor's seat in Louisiana: None of these wins were an accident -- they were the result of thorough, careful, early planning based on the resources we had at the time. The same is true for our plan to compete everywhere in 2020, which is why your support right now makes such a difference. So what do you say, Pat. Can I count on you to make a special gift to the Democratic Unity Fund this Giving Tuesday? Thank you for all you do to support our party, today and every day.
