Here's the gist of it:

If you want to give, that’s fantastic! Here’s the link to donate.

Otherwise, we hope you can help us understand the slowdown in giving a bit more. Is it because of the general political mood, the economy, or are you not seeing what you'd like to see from Indivisible right now? Take our survey and let us know.

The more honest and blunt the better -- and there's no donate link at the end of the survey, because your responses will be invaluable as we navigate this moment and figure out how to adjust so that we keep fighting this fascist regime, win the midterms, and protect the results.

We want to know how you’re feeling about politics in general, where you’re prioritizing your giving (whether that’s to candidates or particular causes), what types of organizing or programs inspire you to give, and if there’s anything you believe Indivisible should change that would motivate you to donate.

The survey is relatively short but please feel free to answer as many or as few questions as you feel comfortable -- any amount of feedback is incredibly valuable!

Here's a summary of the survey.

---------------------

The survey is not anonymous (Name and email and zip code are required fields) and emails to the feedback address are unlikely to get a response, just due to overload.

But these are to think about.
Personally, I have donated but bypass fund-raising emails, spending time on echoing "ACTION" emails here, which is tedious, cleaning PII out of links, which can be quite numerous. I skipped the links in the most recent one.
