More on what we are paying for when we donate to the Mastodon for Harris-Walz fundraiser, https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris: the largest voter protection program in the history of America. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-harris-election-08-17-24#h_2a30dcf1891ad9c8be92da25c6c56fffv

Let me say a bit more about that. 1/

The #DNC2024 Convention Co-Chairs have been announced: Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan of MN, Mitch Landrieu of LA, Senator Cory Booker of NJ, Representative Veronica Escobar of TX. A great group, showcasing Democrats who have won office at the local, state, and federal level, in different parts of the country. https://demconvention.com/news/press-releases/democratic-national-convention-announces-2024-co-chairs/

When you fear democracy, you make plans to tamper with lawful elections that your guy may well lose. This @ProPublica article explains the ongoing efforts by Georgia Republicans to give themselves opportunities to interfere with certifying the results there. There’s an entire network of election deniers and Trump aligned groups working on this. https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-election-board-vote-certification

Watching #Harris speak in #Pennsylvania outside #Pittsburgh. She said about democracy: “There’s a duality about it. It is incredibly strong when it is intact. It protects the freedoms and liberties of its people. But it is also fragile, because it is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it.”
Exactly right.

In battleground states the #Harris campaign must continue to open field offices. These are where the nuts and bolts of organizing happen. The campaign has to rent more and more spaces, keep the lights on, pay salary and expenses of campaign staff working in the field. For example, in #Pennsylvania alone the campaign already has 300 staffers working across 36 offices. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/harris-walz-launch-1st-bus-tour-western-pennsylvania/story
Let’s fund those offices and staffers. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 2/

#HarrisForPresident is expanding offices into southern #Arizona. https://www.kgun9.com/news/local-news/elections/harris-walz-campaign-to-open-offices-in-oro-valley We can fund more offices throughout the state. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 5/

#HarrisWalz is expanding into rural #NorthCarolina. In addition to the 20 offices already there, #Harris is opening six more this week. This is a historic investment and will help down ballot Dems in #NC. Read more at https://www.yahoo.com/news/harris-walz-campaign-launches-offices-101500839.html.

Trump won #Michigan and #Wisconsin narrowly in 2016. Biden won them 2020. To win them in 2024, #Harris will eventually have more than 48 offices in #Wisconsin and 50 in #Michigan. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4817600-harris-walz-rally-michigan-wisconsin/ Let’s help with the rent. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 3/

Please share our fundraiser for #HarrisWalz2024 here and wherever else you can. Let’s reach people we haven’t yet and explain the need to keep the #Harris campaign expanding its field presence right up to Election Day. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 6/6

Ok friends. It is the eve of the Democratic National Convention. Time to step up the Mastodon for Harris-Walz fundraiser. Let’s go for bigger reach to more potential donors. The fight to elect #Harris is going to intensify from now right through Election Day. Our first target for #DemNatConvention is $550,000. We start today with $510,873.32. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris

Let me say a bit about the expenses the #HarrisWalz campaign will have to fund going forward. 1/

Some of the economic positions #Harris has announced today:

- elimination of medical debt for millions of Americans
- ban on price gouging for groceries and food
- cap on prescription drug costs
- $25,000 subsidy for first-time home buyers
- child tax credit of $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby’s life

Gotta love it when the Senate Majority Leader is writing op-eds urging Supreme Court reform. No paywall, https://wapo.st/3yGjmEK

Mastodon for Harris, gentle fundraising update, afternoon 8/15. I’m delighted to announce we have reached 300 recurring contributions, delivering $12,799 to #HarrisWalz monthly. We are also coming up on $510,000, our main mellow pre-Democratic-Convention goal. Thank you to all who have supported this effort, with your dollars, your enthusiasm, and your ideas. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris #KamalaHarris #HarrisForPresident

Despite my excitement and joy over the Harris-Walz ticket and campaign, I still am struck by waves of nervousness over the US presidential election and its aftermath. Between rank and file voters entranced by Trump, racism and misogyny, and the big money interests backing Trump, nothing about this election is a sure thing. 1/

My own antidote to nervousness: do at least one thing to contribute to the success of Harris-Walz AND to the success of Democratic candidates up and down the ballot, state and federal. This is why I occasionally boost https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodonbluewave as well as the Mastodon for Harris fundraiser. It is also why I connect with folks on here who are engaged with other efforts for a blue wave. Building community is a great antidote to fear. 2/

What do you do when you get worried about the elections in the U.S. this November? 3/3

Mastodon for Harris, gentle fundraising update, evening, 8/13. On the verge of 300 recurring contributions: we are at 296 recurring contributions, worth $12,449.12 per month. I hope we will reach 300 before the start of the Democratic National Convention, when I will attempt another burst of ambitious fundraising. If you would like to contribute before the convention, here is the link. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris
