John, I'm running to become the only Black woman in the Senate, and I intend to win this race.

It won't be easy. But I know how to take on a tough fight; I've been doing it my entire life. So when someone tries to tell me that a Black woman with all of the experience I bring to the table can't win this fight – I just smile and say, "Watch me."

But I can't do it alone – so if you believe in me and my campaign, will you chip in $5 or more right now to help me win in California and continue my fight for a progressive future that works for all of us?

I've never been afraid to do the right thing, whether it was working with my local NAACP to desegregate my high school cheer squad or standing alone on the House floor to vote against endless war. I'm ready to take these fights for progress to the Senate floor, but I need grassroots support to spread my message and win this race.

That's why I'm personally reaching out to you today: I need to raise another $10,000 by midnight to keep our campaign on track, and I'm counting on you to pitch in what you can to fuel our progressive movement to victory. 

Please, John, will you donate $5 or more now to help me win in California, become just the third Black woman ever elected to the Senate and build a progressive future that works for all of us?

Thank you so much for your support.
