The #Mastodon crowd is making short work of the goals I’ve been setting for the Mastodon specific fundraiser for Harris for President. We are closing in on $13,000 and I’ve set the ambitious goal at $16,000. Countless boosts and comments have led to 183 contributions so far. I had aimed for 100 today, so being so near to 200 is amazing. Many contributions are for $5; some for significantly more. All amounts make a statement: we stand with Harris. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 1/
@heidilifeldman Great timing. I want to be part of that initial big bang of donations to Kamala and happy to give visibility to #Mastodon at the same time.
The rate and number of boosts, supportive comments, and contributions has been so great that I decided to reach out to one of my contacts, Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff. I told him about our effort and asked him to tell the right campaign person (or to put me in touch with that person) about the value to the campaign of establishing an independent presence on #Mastodon. I don’t know when/if he will see the message. I’ll keep you apprised of any response. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 3/
