Sustainer Campaign
As we begin to plan our next steps for action and to work with municipal candidates to offer support, it is vitally important that we have enough funding to do all the work that needs to be done! Please dig deep if you can, even a $10 monthly donation helps us fund the work we do together. If you can afford more – $25, $50 or even $100 – we can think about bigger action: billboards, print, digital and radio ads! Any donation amount is welcome and appreciated and if monthly is not feasible right now – a one time donation goes a long way too. So far we have $430 in monthly donations with less than a dozen donors – I KNOW we can build on that! – Susan. (To donate, click here)
