I have so much to thank you for, so this message is a bit longer than usual. But in case you're short on time, I have to make sure that you see this first: My midnight fundraising deadline is only hours away, and we're still pacing dangerously short of my $150,000 goal. [I hate that I have to ask, but this is incredibly important: If you have anything extra to spare, can you chip in $10 to help me hit this goal? We’ve made so much progress together already, but I need your help to make sure that we can continue this work for years to come.]( [DONATE NOW]( If you have the time to keep reading, I hope that you'll take a moment to celebrate our recent wins. Last year, we really got to work. I introduced legislation to create a national paid leave program — legislation that I first introduced 10 years ago and have continued to advocate for since then. You immediately rallied behind me, voicing your support for this long-overdue legislation. And today, support for paid family leave is higher than ever before — including 85% of all voters in battleground states! Thank you for making this possible. I also released my Strategic Plan on Aging to make sure that our seniors can retire with dignity and financial stability. From expanding existing programs like Medicare to helping more seniors remain in their homes, these proposals would drastically improve the quality of life for millions of seniors. Thank you for supporting my work to make this happen. I'm also incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from this grassroots team after I introduced a resolution to finally certify the Equal Rights Amendment. This amendment would establish protections against gender-based discrimination in our Constitution, once and for all, giving us a legal basis to restore reproductive rights. Activists have been fighting for the ERA for 100 years, and it is truly an honor to carry forward their work today. Thank you for standing beside me in the fight for gender equity and reproductive freedom. Lastly, I fought tirelessly to make sure that the National Defense Authorization Act included a pay increase for service members, investments to clean up toxic PFAS contamination and funding for hundreds of spots in my cybersecurity academy at over 400 schools. Thank you for helping me ensure that our veterans and service members get the benefits they deserve. There have been so many other moments when you've stood beside me, and I am grateful for every single one of them. But our fight for progress is far from over. And now, Democrats are in the most difficult election year in recent memory. Here in New York, Republicans just had their best election cycle in years. Now, they're directly targeting my seat. With a narrow 51-49 majority, we cannot afford to show any signs of weakness. Missing my midnight goal would be sending a crystal-clear message to the GOP that this seat is up for grabs. [So please, will you donate $10 or whatever you can spare before 11:59 p.m. tonight to help me continue our fight for progress this year? Because I refuse to accept corporate PAC money, I'm counting on your help to make up the gap.]( If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [DONATE $10]( [DONATE $25]( [DONATE $50]( [DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT]( Thank you again for all that you do. I'm so grateful to have you on my team in this critical election year.

Text NY to 60708]( A note from Kirsten: Friend, I can’t thank you enough for standing by my side in the critical fights ahead of us. As Democrats face our toughest Senate map in decades, I need your help more than ever. While Republicans only have to defend 10 seats in 2024, Democrats have to defend 23 — and if the GOP flips just two of them, it will deliver Senate control back to Mitch McConnell. Now, experts at FiveThirtyEight are saying that the GOP has a clear path to the majority. As right-wing special interests gear up to pour millions into flipping the Senate, we need to fight back right now. But I refuse to take a single cent from corporate PACs, which means I’m relying on your grassroots support. [So please, chip in to help defend our narrow Democratic Senate majority.]( And if you’d like to become a core member of my team and receive exclusive texts from my campaign, [text JOIN to 60708.]( Thank you, Kirsten Gillibrand This email was sent to {EMAIL}.
