We're doing our final wrap-up to finish up the auction this weekend! The final email will go out on Monday, but we wanted to share our final lifetime total with you:
$1,021,023!!!! (omg?)
We also have some lovely words from VoteRiders to share with you:
ALT $252,830 raised in 2024 means the lifetime total raised by Romancing the Vote is $1,021,023
"Instead of being turned away at the polls, with your help, we'll provide the clarity and individualized assistance many voters need to navigate the voting landscape and make their voices heard."
"Thank you for being part of the solution that makes the democratic process accessible to all, upholding the values that are the cornerstone of our society!"
💗💗💗
Let's keep this energy going all the way to November!
Today, I finally got to meet Todd the dragon, after hearing about him through @KitRocha and @RomancingVote. What a fun store that highlights some great authors and has some adorable dragons! Tropes & Trifels is a must in Minneapolis.

Did you like the buzz that came from chasing Buy it Nows and raising big money for democracy???
Sign up and phone bank with our friends at Fated Mates to KEEP THE PARTY GOING!
We are gonna do this, y'all.
We are closing out the night at a lifetime fundraising total of $1,003,604.02, which is staggering and amazing and due to all of you who have done so much.
I just realized, though, that in the last message, I forgot to thank someone vital who helped us get over the line.
At the start of this auction, donations were made in honor of a very fine dog.
And it turns out, those were yet another boost that, combined with everything else, was necessary to squeak us over the finish line.

THE AUCTIONS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE VOTER SUPPRESSION ENDS.
We send notes for crafters ahead of an auction so you can plan which projects to finish and make sure you’re on the list.
