Friend,

I'd like to share with you a short story. It's about a restaurant called Paschal's in Atlanta. If you will give me a moment to explain, it will all make sense.

You see, in Atlanta in the 1960s, on the street that later became Martin Luther King Drive, Paschal's wasn't just a restaurant. It was one of the only places where all people – black and white, young and old, gay and straight – could sit together. While our brothers and sisters in the movement were putting their bodies on the line to desegregate lunch counters across the South, Paschal's "Colored Only" business and liquor licenses did not apply because they let anybody – black or white or brown – walk through their doors and share a table.

Paschal's became our home, our office, and our headquarters for the Civil Rights Movement. It's where we went to bring poor people together, no matter their ethnicity, to organize for justice.

So it was a great honor to join Teresa and her campaign at Paschal's this week, along with many of the wonderful women in the movement who helped me with my campaigns. I can only express to you the hopefulness that filled me seeing so many of us come together and to feel the extraordinary energy of this campaign for the United States Senate in Georgia.

We need somebody that's going to pull us together. And talking to people in our movement across Georgia, I know Teresa is the one who's ready to lift us up a little higher. We don't know exactly where that is yet, and we don't have to predict it. And the reason why is this:

To quote Reverend Ralph Abernathy, "I don't know what the future holds, and I really don't care, cause I know who holds the future." And when we trust our future to a wise, wonderful, dedicated woman like Teresa, we're in good hands because we're in God's hands.

Friends, we have the power to win this election and lift each other up a little higher. So I have to ask — will you make a contribution to Teresa's campaign today and help us get there?

Thank you,
