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/

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/
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!

I had hoped that the "Kamala Harris for President News & Organizing" group would be the source of interesting and useful posts, but it's been invaded by whackatarians and shills for useless

8/4 progress report on reaching #HarrisForPresident campaign re Mastodon for Harris.
1y 10mon ago in kamalaharrisforpresidentnews@friendica.opensocial.spaceWhen 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/
