Donating through this link also gently encourages the Harris campaign to have a Fediverse presence of some kind (specifically not Threads, by the way).

The "Mastodon for Harris" campaign's original target was $1000, but after just two days it's already on $144,000 😮

The campaign is run by @heidilifeldman who is a law professor and long time Fediverse user.
