ActBlue

We've seen so many folks saying they made their first ever donation in the last 24 hours! It's so motivating to see new small-dollar donors join the grassroots movement! Welcome, new donors, we're so glad you're here 💙

Good morning ☀️ Same energy as yesterday?

UPDATE: As of 9pm ET, grassroots supporters have raised $46.7 million through ActBlue following Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign launch. This has been the biggest fundraising day of the 2024 cycle. Small-dollar donors are fired up and ready to take on this election 🔥

NEW: Small-dollar donors raise over $27.5 million on ActBlue in the first 5 hours of Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. Grassroots supporters are energized and excited to support her as the Democratic nominee.

Dark money dominates our politics. Our fundraising tools were built on the idea that getting involved in political campaigns should be as easy as clicking a button and not limited to billionaires and special interests. People-powered campaigns turn into people-powered offices.

“Hawaiians say Lahaina’s disaster leaves them mourning the loss of a place dense with Native Hawaiian history and culture — and they’re bracing for what the tragedy will mean for their communities in the long term.” You can support wildfire relief here: t.co/eQlsZjEt2q t.co/VR75poJBC

this was actually an easter egg for dems winning in 2024 t.co/WLNhiIIC40

As you can read in this story, ActBlue's "total fundraising increased" last quarter compared to Q2 2019 — and that's without a 20+ candidate presidential primary field. Doesn't seem dire to us. t.co/UfQPiPqHyr t.co/8M3hdrGMwk

A large and often overlooked part of Dr. King's platform was education. Our friends at @CenterBlackEd are revolutionizing education by increasing the number of Black educators so low-income Black and disenfranchised students can reap the full benefits of quality public education.

This past weekend marked 50 years since SCOTUS decided Roe v Wade. Decades later, abortion rights remain under attack on a local, state, & national level. The attacks culminated last year as SCOTUS overturned Roe, putting the health & safety of people across the country at risk.

Dr. King was a strong advocate for workers and the idea that "all jobs have dignity." @workersjusticep has exemplified this idea through their organizing of food delivery drivers in New York City. You can read more about their efforts here: t.co/AiG5s9t0Pm

If you want to support folks organizing to protect reproductive rights right now in states across the country, this page from our friends @AbortionFunds allows folks to split one donation to over 80 abortion funds: t.co/OGmrTFd49F

A lot of work remains to ensure the fundamental human rights of every person in this country are protected. To every fundraiser, every donor, & every person dedicated to making this country a better place to live: We are so proud to work alongside you.

Since 2004, over 20.1 million donors have invested their time, money, & energy into 53K campaigns & orgs fighting for change. Every day, more folks are joining this movement, showing the world what can be done when we move beyond the individual and focus on the collective.

This would not have been possible without the campaigns & orgs across the country who work tirelessly to engage grassroots donors & build shared power on the left. They’ve proven that small-dollar fundraising wins elections & sustains movements.

This milestone reminds us that small-dollar donors understand the impact of working together. This is a people-powered movement born out of a commitment to a progressive future.

SCOTUS appears poised to strip Americans of their right to abortion access and reproductive healthcare, and reproductive justice advocates are counting on everyone’s support at this moment.

As of today more than $10 billion has been raised via ActBlue. Whether you've been here organizing since day one or made your first donation yesterday, we are honored to do this important work with you. But this milestone comes on the heels of some truly horrendous news.

We're still waiting for the GOP to say April Fools about... everything 🤡
