Our first major deadline of the year is right around the corner and I need your help to raise $15,000 and show I have what it takes to continue standing up to the growing wave of extremism in our country.

It's become glaringly evident that extreme Republicans are willing to stoop to new lows of performative patriotism and political gamesmanship to spread their dangerous and hateful narrative — Katie Britt’s fabrication of a Mexican woman’s story is just the latest example of this disturbing trend.

I will always call out xenophobic and hateful rhetoric because the lives of migrants are more than just a political game. Will you donate $10 right now to help me hit my $15,000 goal and continue standing up to their cruel tactics?

Let’s not forget the bigger picture: Republicans have consistently failed to present any constructive plans to address our immigration challenges.

Instead, they choose to exploit the plight and suffering of migrants at the border.

The truth is, extreme Republicans like Katie Britt and Greg Abbott are playing games with the lives of migrants — spreading dangerous and misleading rhetoric for their own political gain.

Pitch in $10 right now to help me continue standing up to their cruel and hateful games at the expense of migrants>>>

Thank you for all your support,

Joaquin Castro
