| I can't say I'm surprised, Pamela, but I hope you know that I'm deeply grateful. As Development Director here at Fair Fight, I track the financial support that flows in from grassroots donors across the country. So I know that this team of supporters is ready to leap into action to defend the freedom to vote. And I knew that when we sent an email about our goal to increase monthly donations ahead of the 2026 elections, folks would seize the opportunity to strengthen our movement. (Keep scrolling to see that message from a couple days ago.) I can't say enough to express my profound appreciation for everyone who's committed to a recurring contribution. And I can't wait to speak with my colleagues here at Fair Fight about all the ways they'll be able to channel new donations into fighting voter suppression, electing voting rights champions, and protecting our democracy. Monthly donations make the greatest impact to help plan our long-term voter protection and outreach programs — which is why we're still looking for an uptick in supporters who make sustaining gifts. If you're able to make a recurring donation of any size, it would go a long way to defend free and fair elections in 2026 and beyond. Thank you for your consideration, and for all the ways you help grow our team, Eva (she/her/ella)

Subject: Our 2026 goal:
Pamela, on behalf of the entire team at Fair Fight, thank you so much for being a member of our grassroots, pro-democracy movement. With support from activists like you, we're able to monitor the latest attempts at voter suppression, fight back to ensure equal access to the ballot box, elect Democracy Champions to critical positions with power over elections, combat disinformation from election deniers, and more. You've kept us running full-speed-ahead into this critical election year. And we're able to more reliably plan our future investments in voter protection, grassroots organizing, and get-out-the-vote efforts because of a key pillar of consistent support: recurring donations. About 61% of our online revenue last year came from monthly donors. That's been mission-critical. Knowing we can rely on those resources from month to month makes it easier to set longer-term plans that make outsized impacts. And we can be ready to respond to new threats at a moment's notice, like when we launched a massive rapid-response outreach campaign to help Georgia voters stay on the rolls last year despite a sweeping purge attempt. So for 2026, we've set a new goal of having 65% of our online revenue come from recurring donors. And we have to ask: if you were planning on making a financial contribution at some point during this election cycle, would you consider magnifying your support by starting it as a monthly donation today? If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically: Smaller recurring contributions — that we know we can count on from month to month — go even further towards our mission than a larger one-time gift. And with a greater base of recurring revenue, we'll be even more prepared to hold strong against the MAGA GOP's voter suppression attempts. Donald Trump and his extremist allies are desperate to cling to power by silencing voters — from rigging voting maps, to threatening federal elections takeovers, to raiding elections offices and seizing ballots, to trying to impose a modern-day poll tax with the SAVE Act. But no matter which new attacks they throw at us, we're laser-focused on protecting the freedom to vote and ensuring we can all make our voices heard in our democracy. You help make it possible for us to stay in the fight. And if you're able to start a recurring donation today, you'll help us do everything we can to deliver more victories for voters. In solidarity, The Fair Fight Team
