Leo Season Fundraising Drive
July 23rd -August 22nd
It’s Leo Season—and we’re turning up the heat.
This summer, we’re fighting for more than votes—we’re building the political infrastructure that our communities deserve. That means grassroots power, independent politics, and a vision for Maryland that works for everyone.
From July 23 to August 22, we’re calling on supporters to help us meet bold goals as part of our Leo Season Fundraising Drive.
Why Now?
Because it’s not just Leo Season—it’s also Andy’s birthday on July 28, and he’s turning 49. So we’re setting fierce, fiery, people-powered goals to match:
Raise $20,000 during Leo Season—getting us closer to our $50,000 goal by fall.
Gain 49 new recurring donors—in honor of 49 years of courage, community, and conviction.
Secure 100 birthday week donations—between July 26 and August 2nd.
Sell 50 campaign shirts—because we wear our politics on our sleeves.
This isn’t about vanity. It’s about vision. As our 500-Day Plan lays out, this summer is make-or-break:
We either raise the resources to run a fully-staffed campaign that can reach hundreds of thousands of voters—or we settle for a smaller effort, and cede more ground to the corporate parties and the status quo.
We know what’s at stake. Let’s rise to the occasion.
This Campaign Doesn’t Take Corporate Money. That’s the Point.
If you’re tired of politics being bought and sold, this is your campaign. We don’t take money from corporations, lobbyists, or PACs—because we’re building something different.
We rely on people like you. Not just to fund a campaign, but to power a movement for real democracy in Maryland.
Every dollar you give helps us:
Get on the debate stage and challenge the status quo
Reach voters who’ve been ignored by both parties
Hire organizers and run statewide field operations
Distribute materials, run events, and make our case across Maryland
We’re not here to play it safe. We’re here to transform what’s possible. That takes bold ideas and the resources to get them in front of people.
