,
WOW.
Like, for real. The numbers are still being finalized, but I've been told that several hundreds of you generously chipped in to our year-end fundraising campaign. So much so that we exceeded (how much? I don't know, they're not telling me!) our goal of $75,000 in one week.
Thanks to all of you who gave, the members who participated in individual fundraising goals, those of you who shared our posts on social media, and more. You made the last week fun, engaging, and deeply meaningful.
This is humbling, inspiring, and a call to enter 2024 tough and tenacious, speaking truth to power, and holding decision-makers accountable. We're excited and ready, in large part because of folks like you supporting this work with your time, talents, and treasury.
And with the 2024 legislative session just around the corner (and a new Des Moines City Council), we've got work to do. But we're undaunted and ready. Let's do this, together.
Onward,
