[1]The Long Run PAC
Friend — Today is January 15th, which means we’re halfway through the first month of 2025.
Usually at this point in the month, we’d be at about 40% of our monthly fundraising goal. But so far we’re barely at 20%. That’s really not good news.
I don’t know what it is. Maybe people are still tired from the election in November. Maybe people don’t see a path forward for our movement now that Trump is set to take over.
I’m here to tell you that we can’t give in to that kind of thinking.
I named this project The Long Run because I know that real change takes time. It doesn’t happen in one election cycle or one moment in time.
Think about the civil rights movement, the women’s rights movement, or the fight for gay marriage. These were long fights that took sustained efforts over years if not decades to achieve the progress we now enjoy today.
Those folks didn’t give up — they didn't have that luxury. And to be honest, we don’t either. If we’re going to beat back the rising tide of fascism in America, we have to stay in the fight.
That’s why The Long Run is still laser-focused on electing changemaking progressive up and down the ballot in crucial battleground states who can tip the political scales away from the far-right and towards our future. We’re asking for your help in that mission.
So, will you step up and make a contribution to The Long Run today? It doesn’t matter how much you give, because every donation will show that our movement is growing stronger instead of weaker. That we are ready to take on Trump and win.
