Dear friends,

As you may be aware, last week, on October 6th, we marked the first anniversary of Andy’s death. It was a hard day for me, but a friend suggested a perfect way to honor him at this moment in our nation’s history: the Andy Holiner Memorial Gift to Movement Voter Project.

Andy and I enthusiastically hosted a fundraiser for Movement Voter Project (MVP) in 2022. It remains an organization I support because it is brilliantly effective at getting out the vote (and sustaining progressive movements at the same time).

I know Andy would be thrilled about all his loved ones and communities joining together with MVP at this insane national moment.

In Andy's honor, I've arranged a special donations link we can use to make a Memorial Gift, so all will be tallied together. If it feels right to you and is feasible, please join me in honoring Andy and his legacy of working for love, friendship, justice, and joy, by contributing to a memorial donation using this link: https://secure.actblue.com/do…

The ground game is where this election will be won or lost, and they need our money right now. The margin of victory is the margin of effort in the ground game--and funding the ground game is what Movement Voter Project does. Every single dollar donated will be put to crucial use getting out the vote in the swing states we must win.

For folks who aren't familiar with Movement Voter Project, it is a national organization that funds the most strategic, effective grassroots voter mobilization organizations in swing states. This "ground game" is how we can win. Did I mention these are all groups working within their own communities, year-round, building the progressive base for the long term? Did I mention these are low-turnout and first-time voters, BIPOC, youth, immigrant, rural, urban, queer? MVP is incredible and I am proud to volunteer with them.

As of today, we have already raised $920. Please click on that link above to be part of this collective effort of love and justice.

Oceans of love,

Annie
