A special thanks to all those around the world who are taking an interest in Mastodon for Harris-Walz. Your boosts and encouragement are wonderful. (Do note
though that only U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents may donate to the fundraiser. That’s a requirement of U.S. campaign finance law.) 5/ https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews

I am continuing my outreach to the #HarrisWalz campaign. Tomorrow, I have a meeting with people in Democratic politics (being vague to protect their privacy) to discuss the success of our fundraiser. Again, let me remind everybody that the campaign staff is exceedingly busy right now.4/

If you know people who aren’t already familiar with the fediverse or Mastodon who might, nevertheless, be interested in our fundraising for #KamalaHarris and/or the effort to have the #HarrisWalz campaign establish a presence on the open web, please consider sharing our link. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 3/

I will continue to update about Mastodon for Harris-Walz progress. Much of the time, but not always, I will hashtag updates with #MFHW, to promote ease of following or filtering.

For those who want to turn their attention to down ballot and state races, I have updated a companion page to https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris, the Mastodon Blue Wave page, https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodonbluewave. 2/

Next steps for Mastodon for Harris-Walz:
We had an intense and intensely successful day yesterday, bringing the total raised for #HarrisForPresident past $500,000. Let’s keep going, even as we pace ourselves in the run-up to the Democratic National Convention, Aug. 19 - 24. To maintain a sustainable momentum, I’ll be setting comparatively modest daily goals. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris 1/

I’ve added an interim clarificatory note to the Mastodon for Harris fundraising page, highlighted in the photo.

We have broken through! I’m just wowed by the effort of the Mastodon for Harris community. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris

Here's an observation more suited to Mastodon/Fediverse than any other social media venue. Collective action powered from the grass roots can be fractal. Today I watched the enthusiasm and strength burgeon and burgeon again during the #HarrisWalz rally. I also have had the profound pleasure to see that same blossoming for #MastodonForHarris. 1/

Fun news! Mastodon for Harris now has its own visual assets page, with spiffy graphics from @scott. There’s a set for the “hashtag flag” version and for the “coconuts” version. Enjoy! https://mastodonforharris.notion.site/Mastodon-For-Harris-d6840117cb3046a39c032fa556e11edb

When I raise money here on Mastodon for a candidate or cause, I walk a fine line between reaching as many people as possible and making those who have donated what they can feel pressured to donate more. Because I believe electing #KamalaHarris is existentially important for the U.S. and the rest of the world, I will continue posting about Mastodon for Harris. 1/2

Friends, I took it easy on fundraising today. It would be a big help if we pulled in as many small dollar contributions ($1 to $10) for Mastodon for Harris as possible by midnight tonight. Please help me spread the word. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris

When I communicate with #HarrisForPresident or others about Mastodon for Harris, I always include our fundraising link. I like to think of my messages getting forwarded, recipients checking the link, and seeing how the total has grown since my original message! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris. 3/3

I'm also working with my contacts among activists and electeds in New Mexico. Part of my pitch to them is for the state Democratic Party and progressive organizations to get on Mastodon. So one unintended benefit of Mastodon for Harris may be to increase the presence of U.S. progressivism in the Fediverse more generally. 2/

8/4 progress report on reaching #HarrisForPresident campaign re Mastodon for Harris.
Slowly but surely, I'm connecting with more people on the campaign who can get me to the right people to discuss a presence on Mastodon. I don't want to raise hopes prematurely, but it is clear that our fundraising (both total money raised and number of contributions) and the story of how it started is opening some doors. 1/
