John, it's Rep. Jim Clyburn – and I have an urgent request for you. 

Right now, we have a real chance of sending progressive champion Rep. Barbara Lee to the Senate – where only three Black women have ever served. But with just days left before Election Day, we can only pull this off if we all drop what we're doing right now and pitch in.

That's why I'm helping my colleague and friend Barbara get through her last big push of the election. People are already voting, so please: Will you donate $5 or more now to help Barbara Lee build a progressive future for all?

Here's why Barbara Lee has my support: For over 20 years, she has fought for progress, inch by inch. And believe me, the path to progress has been anything but simple.

Over the course of our time in Congress, I have watched Barbara fight fearlessly for the things she knew were right – even if it meant standing alone in a crowded room. I've always been impressed by her strength, resolve and boldness – and I know that she'll bring all of that and then some to the Senate. 

John, we knew this race would be tight to the very end, but we can't throw in the towel now. Recent polls show that 1 in 6 likely California voters are still undecided on who they'll vote for in the primary. That's why Barbara Lee and her team are expanding their voter outreach efforts on the ground – and we need to support this work.

Every single dollar that Barbara Lee raises from this moment to the moment polls close has the power to change the outcome of this race. Please: Will you donate $5 or more now to help Barbara Lee become the fourth Black woman ever to serve in the Senate?

Thank you for your time.

Rep. Jim Clyburn
