An important request from COLOR OF CHANGE (U.S).

Hey there, it’s me Ish. As Color Of Change’s CFO, you only hear from me once  or twice a year because we like to keep our emails focused  on campaigns and creating real-world change for Black folks  and our allies. But the 2017 fiscal year is about to end so  I'm writing to make an important request. So far over 2,500 Color Of Change PAC supporters have  contributed to our year-end fundraising drive. I’m amazed by  the response. But I've been looking at our numbers and we’re still  $85,000 short. There are only 3 days left in 2017 - will you  chip in $18 for 2018 and help close this fundraising gap ? Yes, I’ll chip in $18 to help raise $85,000 before  December 31. Yes, I’ll chip in another amount. At Color Of Change PAC, we value every donation that’s made -  whatever the size - because the way we create change is through  an engaged community of people pitching-in and taking action  together. This coming year, we have big plans : We’re going to hold District Attorneys accountable. DAs are one of the most powerful roles in our criminal justice system and 84% of them run for election completely unopposed. We’re going to work to get bad DAs out of office and elect those that will stand up for our communities. We’re going to run a state-of-the-art digital engagement program. From new organizing tools to hyper-targeted ads, we’ll strive to reach voters where they are, speaking to them on platforms and devices they spend their time on with messages that resonate with them. We’re going to scale up our peer-to-peer SMS program. By tapping Color Of Change PAC volunteers, we’ll send messages to tens of thousands of people encouraging them to get involved in their local and state races. We’re going to build a Black organizing team around the country. On-the-ground organizers are critical to building sustaining power. We’ll train local leaders and knock on as many doors as possible to  have real conversation and build real relationships. We’re going to turn out the Black vote. Alabama showed the  country what we’ve known all along - that Black voters are  powerful. And we’re going to make sure Black voters are  registered and turn out to vote, when it matters, to help win  back the House and the Senate. By chipping in right now, you’ll ensure that we don’t have to  cut back on any of these campaigns and plans in 2018. We  can’t afford to start off the new year behind - this work is  too important. Will you chip in right now ? Yes, I’ll make a year-end donation to Color Of Change PAC.
