Contributions range from $5 to $250. Every dollar given goes to support #ZooeyZephyr and the county level Democratic Party which supported her candidacy and has supported her, and other successful candidates from swing districts. Our support helps keep democracy alive in a red state where it is seriously under attack. Every donation is a concrete act of political generosity and commitment.

Supporting #ZooeyZephyr is a way to reject misogyny and patriarchy, two types of hateful bigotry behind efforts to demonize and harm #trans people, as well as #drag and all #women.

@heidilifeldman Thank you for making it easy for us to support blue islands in red states.
@heidilifeldman just added another donation. 👍🏾😃
@retiredUSArmyCW3 How good of you!
@heidilifeldman I’m just trying to be an active participant in preserving this Democracy.
@heidilifeldman once I retired from the U.S. military and started making a lot of money, I was determined to support what I believed in for many years but couldn’t really be open with in uniform
@heidilifeldman
The republicans talking point which slides by on news spots is "Decisions should be left to the States" This is Republicans division in sheeps clothing , sounds good but creates red zones of corruption. Abortion should NOT be left to the states. This is a national and governmental freedom they are trying to steal.
@heidilifeldman @LpcProf I’d love to help, but any ActBlue interaction leads to years of spam. Any other way to send $s?
@dpp I understand the spam issue. The only hack I know of is to create and use a one off email address for a donation. @LpcProf
@heidilifeldman @dpp I send my donations through the mail. I almost never use ActBlue because I’ve had problems with misdirected donations.
