Since I've been fundraising so hard and flogging people with the imminent June 30 deadline, let me recap what the Great Slate is about, and why we're backing these specific campaigns. Basically, we're trying to build in election insurance for close Senate races. Here's a thread!

As a bonus, these are four great candidates in their own right, who can bring a fresh energy and independence to the Democratic caucus. None are rich, or have a deep fundraising network. None are establishment figures. They need our help and resources to run their best campaign

So please, read all about the Great Slate here https://techsolidarity.org/resources/great_slate.html …, and then pull out that bitcoin from the sofa and donate, right now, tonight, before that ominous June 30 deadline descends upon us. You can give $2700 per candidate, and must be a citizen or green card holder

I can't promise we'll win, but I can promise that if the Senate races in these states are tight, if they come down to a few thousand votes, we can tell ourselves and our kids with a clear heart that we did all we could and left nothing in the tank in 2020https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

Just over 24 hours to go in the FEC quarter! Thank you to everyone who already gave. There is so much appetite in the tech community for change, and one reason I care about this effort is that it's made me feel less helpless, and less disconnected. I hope the same is true for you

Just about 12 hours to go in the June fundraising period for the Great Slate. Big or small, your contribution goes much further today than tomorrow. We need that green wave to get the blue wave!

For context, this has been our worst fundraising quarter ever, by maybe a factor of three or four, since the Great Slate started. Imagine how hard the financial circumstances must be for campaigns with no establishment backing when tech workers can't even ante up support.
