re: the Democratic Unity Fund

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

Hi, Pat -- 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: 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 Carrollton. 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 Carrollton 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. DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount 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 Carrollton 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.
