I am about to make a very big ask of you, Pat​, but I hope you'll give me a moment to tell you why:

With the little time we have left to lock in our strategy for the next three months, your contribution will help inform where we can organize, how many more people we can hire, and so much more.

Pat, as of today, the election of our lifetimes is only 100 days away, which is why I'm about to make a really big ask of you: To start a weekly donation to the DNC from now until Election Day. But first, let me explain why our party's success this year is entirely dependent on consistent commitments through this final sprint toward the finish line. If there is any chance of a Democratic victory in the fall, we need to sustain our momentum all the way through November 3. With the little time we have left to lock in our strategy for the next three months, your weekly contribution will allow us to make critical decisions about resource allocation. This includes how many more organizers we can hire, where we can advertise, how we're able to adapt our campaigns in the age of COVID-19 -- even what states are in play. The list goes on, but here's the truth: The opportunities to expand our operation shrink as we approach Election Day. That's why a donation made every week from now until the election is the single most impactful way to power our party as we help lift Joe Biden and Democrats down-ballot to victory. By starting a weekly donation to the DNC today, you'll play an essential role in making sure that happens. Pat, will you start a weekly recurring gift in this final stretch of the race? Weekly donations will make sure our party can be in the best position possible to support Vice President Joe Biden and every down-ballot Democrat. DONATE WEEKLY Let me be clear: Weekly donors are essential to sustaining our movement through November 3. Knowing exactly how much money we'll have today, tomorrow, and in the final weeks leading up to November allows our party to plan for the future and set realistic goals. From protecting the right to vote to providing up-to-date data, the DNC is a critical resource for campaigns all over the country. By committing to a weekly donation between now and Election Day, you'll help ensure the long-term viability of the critical programs that Democrats nationwide are relying on as they enter what is bound to be a competitive general election. So, Pat, will you start a weekly sustaining donation to the DNC today? Your weekly contribution -- no matter how large or small -- will help our party make important budgeting decisions about where we can make strategic investments heading into the most consequential election of our lifetimes. In unity, Tom Tom Perez Chair Democratic National Committee P.S. I know that times are tough for a lot of people on this grassroots team. That's why your support, if you're in the place to contribute, means so much. Please, start a sustaining weekly donation to the DNC that runs from now until Election Day.
