   Yesterday, I watched video of Harris speaking in NC. I’ve bookmarked Walz in Grand Rapids, MI yesterday. And now I have on in the background the run up to Harris in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. Every one of these rallies extends the reach of the campaign and motivates staffers and volunteers on the ground. And every one is expensive. So, if you are able and have even five bucks to donate, go to https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris to donate what you can. We are helping to financing a massive operation. 1/

     The campaign will do scores of rallies featuring Harris, Walz or both over the next 50 days. Imagine putting on 75 weddings, with thousands of guests at each one, in the space of a month and half. Think about the cost. Now imagine that the wedding party has to appear at each one and so must be transported, fed, and housed all along the way. Next imagine that these weddings have to have the best security arrangements in the world. Think about the costs…. 2/

     Now imagine that you have to professionally videoconference those weddings for hundreds of thousands more guests unable to attend in person but wanting to be involved. And this are society weddings so publicity must be arranged and funded.

     I’m trying to put the costs of Harris-Walz rallies into a perspective we may be able to grasp. But it is really hard. The Harris-Walz campaign is attempting a campaign on an unprecedented scale, to meet an existential moment for American democracy. 3/

     The cost of the effort to elect Kamala Harris is enormous. So I’ll keep beating the drum for the Mastodon for Harris fundraiser. Please boost my efforts. Every new person who learns about it may want to donate at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris. 4/4
