Happy New Year’s Eve! I hope you and your loved ones have had a happy, healthy, and restful holiday season.

My big plans for tonight involve sitting on the couch. Bruce and I will continue our annual New Year’s Eve tradition of re-watching Casablanca.

It’s a story about love, loyalty, and courage. And it gives me hope. Hope for people who survive and flourish even against long odds. Hope for young people on the cusp of building a new life. Hope for older people looking for a safe landing place. Hope for people at the edge of a big transition — fighting and praying for a brighter dawn.

What better way to ring in 2024 and this pivotal election year?

We’re standing at the edge of our own transformation right now. I’m up for re-election next year. And across the country, everything from health care and child care to abortion rights and our democracy itself will be on the ballot and on the line. I will continue working my heart out for Massachusetts families. And I will continue doing everything I can to help re-elect President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

We have a lot of work ahead of us in the new year, so I’m asking if you can chip in to help keep up the fight and the hope.

Please make a donation, if you can, to help hit our fundraising goal before tonight’s last FEC deadline of the year. $28 or whatever you can contribute would go a long way to help make our movement even stronger for this powerfully important election year and beyond.
