To win the White House, we must win North Carolina. That's the Electoral College math. To do it, progressive Democrats need to go door to door, phone call to phone call, postcard to postcard. We need to be on the ground, doing the work.

Marlene Silva has devoted herself to Democratic activism as a local organizer in Massachusetts, as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, and now, with our help, as an on-the-ground organizer in North Carolina in these final critical weeks before the presidential election.

Marlene is taking unpaid leave from her job for several weeks in order to devote her time and energy to the vital effort to flip North Carolina. I am incredibly, deeply grateful to her for doing this work. I don't know about you, but I can't do what Marlene is willing to do. I can't leave my job and family for weeks to dive into the vital activism that Marlene is so good at.

You know what I CAN do? I can support her work financially. This is the single most important election of my life to date. I've donated to candidates, I've marched and protested, and written emails. But what Marlene is willing to do is absolutely critical. And the way I can help flip North Carolina, the way I can help Democrats win the White House, is to help Marlene spend the next several weeks in North Carolina.

Please join me. Give a dollar or a thousand dollars - whatever you can to help in this critical effort is important. If you're like me and you know that you're not the person who's able to do the field work, but you know how vital it is: this is your chance to help.
