John, we're sure you've seen the news: Donald Trump has just turned himself in to the authorities in Manhattan after being indicted on charges stemming from alleged “hush money” payments in 2016.

Though these charges are indeed serious, we know that they're not the only crimes that Trump has committed. That's why Barbara Lee is also suing Donald Trump to hold him accountable for his actions on Jan. 6 – because no one, not even a former president, is above the law.

John, if we're going to prevent another attack on our democracy, we NEED strong progressive champions like Barbara Lee in the Senate who are not afraid to stand up to GOP extremism. That's why we're proud to stand by her side during this historic race for California's Senate seat – and we hope you'll join us.

But right now, MAGA extremists and Fox News are attacking Barbara Lee with everything they've got, and we need more resources to fight back. So please, will you rush a donation to send Barbara Lee to the Senate?

Subject: Here's why I'm suing Donald Trump

John, Donald Trump may have been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury – but we know that isn't his only crime:

In fact, I am the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against Donald Trump to hold him accountable for inciting the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection.

I still remember that day – being told that we had to hit the floor. We were lucky to have made it out safely when we did. This was a dangerous moment, not only for individual members of Congress and the personnel in the Capitol, but it was dangerous for our democracy.

I refuse to let up in this fight for justice and accountability, and I'm running for Senate to take on this GOP extremism and make sure that an attack on our democracy never happens again.

That's precisely why MAGA extremists and Fox News have already launched a smear campaign to defeat me, and I need your immediate grassroots support to fight back. But with time running out before our midnight deadline, we're falling short of our $5,000 goal.

So please, John, will you rush $5 or more right now to help me fight back against MAGA extremists, win in California and secure a progressive future for all of us?
