I believe that every vote and every dollar count. We underestimate the power we have as a collective to make change. I am a small-dollar donor, but we need to recognize the power and impact of that.

– Karen, PA

I always hear people say, ‘I wish I could donate more.’ I know that every dollar will count in this campaign. For me, I do what I can. I have so much respect for someone who donates $1 — simply because I know they are making a commitment to this campaign and democracy as a whole. I stand with those people as I make my donation each month.

I believe you should put your money where your mouth is. Even small amounts like $5 or $10 per month is less than weekly coffees! And it beats big corporate interests. I am thankful for democracy!

– Linda, AR

I’m a small-dollar donor because I believe as citizens we are called upon to participate in our democracy as much as possible. And with all of the dark money that funds the Republicans, the rest of us have to make our voices heard so that we have a chance to elect people who will listen to and act on our behalf, not just corporations and billionaires.

– Martha, CA

I am retired and don’t have great amounts of money to give. When I give $5 or $10 to candidates, I imagine thousands of other Democrats like me doing the same thing. That is how we defeat the big-money special interests that bankroll the GOP.

– Mark, MO

In retirement I am not able to make a large donation. However, a $10.00 monthly donation to candidates I support makes me feel that I am still making a contribution toward a better future.

– Anne, MA

My husband was furloughed due to the pandemic, and our family was left with less than half of our income. But I feel so strongly about changing this country that I wanted to make a difference, even if only a small one. I have never in my life contributed to a political campaign, but I want to help change the way things are.
