Dear MoveOn member,

After I ended my campaign for president, I made a promise that I wouldn't
stop fighting for bold, progressive policies and candidates who will move
our country forward.

That's why I'm thrilled to throw my support behind Marie Newman, a
progressive fighter running for Congress in Illinois' Third Congressional
District, just outside Chicago.

Marie's opponent, Dan Lipinski, is an eight-term Democratic incumbent who
votes with Republicans time and again.

He voted with Republicans to oppose the Affordable Care Act, the Dream
Act, and the Equality Act.^1 He's a staunch opponent of keeping abortion
safe and legal. He even just joined Republicans to call on the Supreme
Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.^2

Marie, on the other hand, is on the right side of all of these issues and
others. She has been a lifelong fighter for hardworking families like the
one that she grew up in.^3 And instead of playing Washington politics, I
know that she'll work to ensure that the people that she represents and
folks nationwide, too, can get better health care and a good education—and
that immigrants in her district and around the country will be protected
from Donald Trump's cruel and inhumane agenda.

Marie's election day is next Tuesday, and she is up against a well-funded,
eight-term incumbent. She's an underdog who needs our support.

Newman's campaign get out the vote and win on Tuesday?

You might be wondering why I'm weighing in on a local race like this one.
It's because so much is at stake in this election.

At a time when the Trump administration is hellbent on attacking
immigrants, targeting Americans' health care, and undermining a woman's
right to choose, we need champions in Washington who will stand up for our
values and protect the most vulnerable among us. Marie will do just that,
and that's why I'm proud to support her.

Two years ago, Marie took on Lipinski for the first time and came so close
to winning; she fell short by just 2% of the vote. We can't let that
happen again.

[ [link removed]- ]John, will you rush a donation of $3 Marie
Newman's campaign and help elect her, a progressive champion, to Congress?

Thanks for being in this with me.

–Julián
