John, I'm proud to have endorsed Rep. Barbara Lee for the U.S. Senate and serve as co-chair of her campaign. Barbara is the progressive leader Californians need standing up for us in the Senate. And her solid record as one of Congress’ most outspoken champions of justice speaks for itself.  

Please, will you chip in before midnight tonight and help Barbara Lee become California’s next senator?

I also believe that representation matters. The United States, as Frederick Douglass said in 1867, is a composite nation. But for far too long, our country’s institutions have failed to reflect that reality. Black women are the core of the Democratic Party, yet there isn’t a single Black woman currently serving in the Senate. 

We can finally change that. But winning this race is going to come down to resources, and every fundraising goal counts. Barbara's facing a steep deficit ahead of the FEC's midnight end-of-quarter deadline, and I promised we'd help make up the gap. Will you donate $5 now? 

Internal polling shows this race is a statistical tie among informed voters, which means Barbara can win this race, but only by expanding voter outreach quickly and continuously throughout this campaign. 

That's where you come in, John. By chipping in $5 toward this critical end-of-quarter goal, you can help Barbara reach millions of voters, make history in California and build a more equitable democracy. 

So please, donate $5 or more before midnight tonight to help make history and send Barbara Lee to the Senate!

Barbara isn’t just an exceptional legislator; she’s also a personal hero. Her lone vote against the war in Afghanistan 20 years ago is one of the most courageous acts of our time, and it helped inspire me to first run for Congress at the age of 27 on an anti-war platform.

Thank you for joining me to send Barbara Lee to the U.S. Senate!

In solidarity,

Ro
