For too long, the two major parties in this country have worked together to silence any outside competition from third party or independent candidates.
For too long, they have gotten away with it, with barely a murmur from profit-hungry media or self-interested pundits.
And for too long, We the People have remained fractured, divided against each other, and paralyzed by fear and confusion over how to change this rotten system.
With record disillusionment and dissatisfaction, we also have an unprecedented opportunity to force open the political convseration to new ideas, fresh voices, and better choices.
With your support, Open the Debates will become an effective national organizing vehicle for robust and inclusive debates, at every level of government.
We have an October 31 deadline to meet a generous $10,000 matching challenge, and we’re over halfway there. That’s why we’ve launched our first-ever “moneybomb” for that day.
We need to mobilize around 100 new donors in order to meet our goal.
That’s where YOU come in.
We need your help to unlock this matching gift. Every donation counts. Every dollar will be doubled, but only if we can raise another $4,526 in just three days.
Here’s what we’re asking you to do:
- RSVP today to the Facebook event for the moneybomb
- Donate as soon as you can, any amount you can afford (no need to wait until 10/31 – in fact, the sooner we hit the $10,000 goal, the better). Your donation will be matched dollar for dollar so your impact will be doubled, but only if this campaign succeeds.
- Use the share button to invite your friends. Use the graphics in the event and on our social channels to spread the word. If you like memes, join our brand new Open the Debates Dank Meme Tank! Let’s send a message to the corrupt Commission on Presidential Debates that either they open the debates for 2020, or we’ll do it for them!
