I really love the concept of the giving circle. I would join, but I'm currently directing all my available funds to fighting the same fight in my home state of Iowa, which is poised to overturn abortion and LGBTQ+ rights, and has already banned trans girls in sports. So many states need us, and I think AZ is also a worthy target! Wishing you luck with it.

I’m so excited about this. Mark Kelly was one of the senators that got national attention (and my attention, in my panic giving) in 2020, so it feels great to give resources to the less visible state legislative races!

Yes! Working on this has taught me so much about how we pay attention to big names on the federal level and ignore the state legislatures… which is where SO MUCH actually gets done.

Hi! Question on the renewal – I already have an annual subscription that renews in January 2023. If I renew now, will that cover the next year (basically January 2023 – January 2024)? Thank you!

GREAT question. Substack doesn't let you renew early, so the giveaway is officially only for new subscribers or folks who are up for renewal in June. But you could buy someone a gift subscription to be entered! (If you do that, just forward your receipt to Corinne at the assistant email above so we keep track.) Hope that helps.
