Friends -
31 years ago we won our mayoral race in Burlington, Vermont, by a margin of just 10 votes. We won that race against all the odds. Everyone said it couldn't be done.
And when we began this race for the presidency, the political establishment and corporate media said it couldn't be done.
Last night, we won Colorado, Utah, Vermont, and the state with the most delegates, California. Today I tell you with absolute confidence that we are on a path to win the Democratic nomination.
After these victories, super PACs will intensify their efforts to defeat us. With 10 more states voting in the next two weeks, we must be prepared to compete in every single one of them.
Our campaign needs a lot of donations to ensure we have the resources to win this race. That is why I am once again asking for your financial support – especially today:
We are putting together an unprecedented grassroots movement. One that is multi-generational and multi-racial, and one that is going to defeat the most dangerous president in the history of this country.
It is a movement that speaks to the working families of this country who are sick and tired of working longer hours for lower wages. It is a movement that says the United States will finally grant health care for all as a human right. It is a movement that says we will bring major reforms in education to make sure that all of our kids can go to college without coming out in debt.
But the truth is that we are not only taking on the corporate establishment. We are taking on the entire political establishment.
You cannot beat Trump with the same-old, same-old kind of establishment politics. What we need is a new politics that brings working class and young people into our political movement.
Right now, we have two major goals in front of us.
First, we must defeat a president who has apparently never read the Constitution of the United States and who thinks we should be an autocracy, not a democracy.
Second of all, we need to build a movement that sends a powerful message that we will not tolerate the grotesque levels of income and wealth inequality we are experiencing in this country. We will not give tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires while half a million Americans sleep out on the streets.
Sisters and brothers, I am asking for your help to not only win this election. Together we must transform this country when we are in the White House.
We are taking on some incredibly powerful individuals and special interests, and the path forward will not be easy. But as long as we are in this struggle together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.
Thank you so much for being a part of this campaign.
In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders

We hope you'll stay, because emails are such an important part of how we organize and how we raise money. In fact, there is no single greater source for our campaign's fundraising than emails like this one. And that's important, because no one person, not even Bernie Sanders, can take on Trump and the billionaire class alone.
Before you go about the rest of your day, help power our fight against the billionaire class by making a contribution today.
