Today's the day, John.

At midnight tonight, we have to report our fundraising numbers for the quarter with the FEC. And we can't emphasize this enough: how we do this quarter — how we finish out today — is essential.

That's because our fundraising numbers will inform our campaign strategy, will convey potential for success in the primaries, and so much more. But, to continue our campaign strong, John, we need your support now.

Can you donate $5, or anything you can, to show everyone the strength of our grassroots movement and to help our campaign finish out the quarter strong?

It's safe to say that Jamaal's not the Democratic establishment's pick to represent NY-16 — but that’s exactly why we need him in Congress.

He's not a career politician. He's not afraid of bold, progressive actions that address the size of the problems that people face. And he's definitely not in the business of letting down working-class New Yorkers in favor of wealthy Wall Street executives, like incumbent Representative Eliot Engel.

Jamaal has tangible experience in the community that he wants to serve — as a teacher, middle school principal, and public school advocate. He's been involved in organizing efforts against standardized testing, the school-to-prison pipeline, and the corporate-driven privatization and chronic underfunding of New York public schools.

As a representative, Jamaal will fight for everyday people and the working class families of NY-16 — not for corporate PACs and lobbyists.

There's less than 24 hours until our final and most important end-of-quarter FEC fundraising deadline, and we need to finish out strong. Will you rush $5 to our campaign?

In solidarity,

Jesse
