John,

I know you have a lot on your mind right now.

But in the midst of this crisis this fight feels more important than ever. This pandemic has exposed in the worst way the stark inequality that underlies our society.

In San Francisco, we just got news of a citywide shutdown. People are ordered not to leave their homes except for essential services including doctors appointments, grocery shopping, or picking up medication. (You can access the full announcement from the city here.)

This shutdown was an essential step towards preventing the spread of the outbreak. But it puts many working people in a bad spot. Many of us are losing income, struggling to pay for rent, utilities, or childcare, and scared of what will happen if we get sick, lest we rack up exorbitant medical costs.

We know the only way out of this crisis is radical change. But our campaign needs your support to get there!

This is far from an opportune time to ask for money, but it’s also the point at which our campaign needs it the most.

The silver lining in this crisis is that it’s a prime opportunity to hammer home the points that our campaign has been making for so long. The political establishment is failing us. We can’t solve these systematic issues without a political revolution.

Your donation will help to keep our campaign front of mind for San Franciscans and help our campaign staff pay our own bills. Can you chip in $25 today?

Let this movement radicalize you, instead of leading you to despair.
