This is incredible, John: Ever since launching my Senate campaign, I've received an outpouring of support from this grassroots team. There are currently no Black women serving in the Senate – and together, I know we can change that.

But here's the problem: In what will likely be the most expensive Senate primary ever, we were just outraised by two other candidates in this race last quarter. That means we need to make up ground – and fast.

That's why we set a goal to raise $100,000 before the end-of-month deadline – a major test of the strength of this campaign. But with just two days left to hit this goal, we're on track to fall short. So I'm personally asking:

Please, John, will you rush $5 or more – every dollar you can spare before midnight – to help us hit this goal, kickstart our campaign and build a progressive future for all?

This is a critical moment in our campaign, and I need your help now more than ever. Thank you for your support.
