I’m heartbroken. I’m furious. And I’m asking you to join me and make a donation to the victims of this weekend’s shootings.
 
I’m sick to my stomach.
 
This weekend, I realized that my family’s lives could be put in danger while we go back-to-school shopping. No parent should ever have that thought.
 
I’m heartbroken -- heartbroken that in El Paso this weekend, and in Dayton -- this was the reality for so many families.
 
But I’m also pissed off.
 
Because while Donald Trump fans the flames of hate and division…
 
While white nationalism festers like a toxic brew across this country…
 
While common sense gun legislation sits on Mitch McConnell’s desk at this very second…
 
Americans are dying as a result.
 
We are fighting both a serious gun violence epidemic, as well as a rise of white nationalism.
 
Thoughts and prayers are the only solutions Republicans have to offer.
 
But I’m completely out of thoughts and prayers.
 
It’s now up to us to rise up and address both of these crises with the urgency this moment demands.
 
I’m asking you to join me in making a contribution to the victims in El Paso and Dayton. Let’s show the power of the action behind our thoughts and prayers.
 
 
Thank you,
 
Julián

No one like Julián Castro has ever been in the Oval Office. His grandmother immigrated here from Mexico when she was just 7 years old. She never got past the 4th grade, but she provided for her family by working as a maid and a housekeeper.

Now, her grandson is running for President of the United States. Against all odds, grassroots Democrats like YOU helped him qualify for the Democratic debates and sent him to the front of the pack of Democratic candidates.

We know we send you a lot of emails, but that’s because we’re relying on grassroots supporters to overcome our next big challenge:

Julián must be able to compete and build a movement that lasts for the long haul, and he’s not taking a cent of corporate PAC money to do it. Will you be a part of this historic campaign?
