Hello friends. I am hoping this final night of Dem Convention will be a big night for the Mastodon For Harris fundraiser. To that end, I thought it might be fun to do some matching. I will start by matching the first $500 worth of contributions starting at 5:30 pm Central (when the main session will be gaveled in). For now, I'm seeking others who might be willing to offer a match. If you are, please DM or email me at hlfgulc at gmail dot com.
More on how this will work if enough interest. 1/
Here is a look at the history of the funds raised at the ActBlue site Mastodon for Harris-Walz.

From humble beginnings of a $1,000 target, we together, with leadership from Heidi and Tim, have contributed over $517,000 so far. Let's keep the momentum going tonight and into the coming weeks until we win in November.
@AkaSci
That plot suggests that the current momentum is very low, with contributions near saturation (based on the logistic curve shape of it all). That suggests to me that there needs to be some significant event or change to the current state of the fundraising landscape to accelerate giving again, certainly if we want to coast on momentum into November

@_dmh @heidilifeldman let's see how that curve looks after last night's speech!
But it looks very different this morning ….

Also,, the aggregate contribution rate at ActBlue looks quite healthy.
Note that this does not include large donations thru PACs.
