Positive Change – One State Legislature at a Time (1/14/24)

Amidst the overwhelming news and the unceasing challenges to the rule of law, we find ourselves as the defenders of democracy. The urgency of our times demands a focused response, and we believe in the power of collective action. In the face of potential threats to women's reproductive freedom, gun control, voting access, and more, we've identified a strategic path to make a lasting impact – flipping state legislatures.
 
As our recent Friday morning email highlighted, we are thrilled to announce the official launch of the Markers For Democracy 2024 Giving Circle, accompanied by a generous matching opportunity. Seize the chance to secure match dollars and contribute to reshaping the power dynamics in state legislatures. In this critical moment, where every contribution matters, we invite you to join us in making a tangible difference. 
 
Now in its 6th year, our giving circle has consistently played a pivotal role in supporting the work whose success directly influences people's daily lives. Whether you've been a part of a Markers giving circle before or are considering joining for the first time, your involvement is crucial. This year, as we return to Arizona and Pennsylvania for the third election cycle, we recognize the profound impact that state-level decisions have on communities. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of this community over the last few days, we are already 1/4 of our way to meeting our goal (and over 1/2 of the way after matching funds are included). Please join your friends and fellow Markers in helping to ensure that Democrats running in Arizona and Pennsylvania have the funds they need to compete and win.
 
Let's maximize our influence by doubling down on early fundraising efforts. The initial dollars we raise in the coming months will have a far-reaching impact, setting the stage for a successful 2024. Join us in this endeavor to allocate resources wisely and ensure our collective voice resonates louder than ever.
 
Together, let's be the catalysts for positive change – one state legislature at a time. Join the Markers For Democracy 2024 Giving Circle and be a part of shaping a better future. To learn more about our giving circle, please read our FAQ.
