John,

I was in South Carolina last night providing live coverage on the latest
Democratic debate for ABC News, and let me tell you, that debate was… a
real mess.

Once again, we witnessed candidates -- especially those in the billionaire
class -- attempt to attack Bernie Sanders and the progressive policies he
and Elizabeth Warren support, trying to falsely paint them as too extreme
and too expensive.

But as the polls and the first presidential primaries and caucuses show,
their attacks are failing. Bernie is currently the frontrunner in the race
to become the Democratic nominee to take on Trump in November. He’s even
close in the polls with Biden in South Carolina, a state Biden has put
most of his resources into, hoping to easily win. Elizabeth also continues
to be a strong fighter in these debates and is surging in second place in
some national polls.

We know the truth: our New American Majority of people of color and white
progressives want a bold, progressive leader who will finally change the
broken systems that have plagued us for so long and continue to hold us
back, and we won’t be bought by some billionaire who thinks they can buy
this election.

But we can’t let up, not for one second. Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is
pouring millions of dollars into his campaign, flooding the airwaves and
internet with misleading ads to sway voters. Tom Steyer, Pete Buttigieg,
and others continue to attack our progressive movement too.

That’s why it’s up to us to keep up the grassroots energy for Bernie,
Elizabeth, and our shared progressive values, no matter what comes our
way.

DFA is directly working to keep up the fight for a progressive president,
whether through our Progressives Unite 2020 project or our ‘Billionaires
Can’t Buy Me’ campaign, and we’re just getting started. Will you pitch in
$10 or more
to fuel our work to send a progressive to the White House this year?

This has always been a people-powered organization, and with your support,
I know we will win big for progressives in 2020.

Thanks,
