If you ever doubted whether last-minute donations make a difference, read this incredibly inspiring update from Reema Ahmad, MVP’s State Advisor in the pivotal swing state of Wisconsin:

Yesterday we got several SOS text messages and calls from partners: While turnout across Wisconsin is up, turnout at one of Milwaukee’s largest early voting sites was down 40 percent.

This intel put 11th-hour planning and funding into motion with partners like Black Leaders Organizing Communities (BLOC), Power to the Polls, and many more.

I wasn’t sure we had the resources to still move any money to the field. But thanks to our last-minute fundraising and nimble grantmaking, we were able to get resources out the door!

This last-minute funding means:

• 100 more canvassers will be hired and deployed by Election Day.
• 125K more calls will be made to voters who haven’t cast their ballots yet.
• 3 days of “knock and drag” to the polls started yesterday, pushing through the last couple days of early voting in Milwaukee.

Fund the Ground Game!

In a state that Biden won in 2020 by less than 21,000 votes, this last-minute funding could literally make the difference between winning and losing.

If you’ve contributed all you can: Thank you! 

Or, if you find yourself on this final weekend before the election itching to do more to leave it all on the field, we recommend giving all you can through MVP – we are moving money to local organizers in the top battleground states as quickly as it comes in.
