After announcing our re-election campaign this week, I’m reflecting on what it took to get here, and the work we still have left to do.
My mother Sandy Pressley — may she rest in power — was a proud Democrat, a tenants rights activist, and super voter who took me to vote with her every election. She’d bring me into that voting booth and say to me: “Never forget that we, the people, are powerful.” I believed her then, and I still do now. I believe in the power of us.
So every day, I keep my mother’s words with me as I show up to do the Work for our collective liberation. Work that helped deliver student debt cancellation to millions of borrowers and provided marginalized people with access to economic freedom. Work that is effective, but must be unrelenting. This re-election campaign is about building on these wins to deliver equity, justice, and healing for all. Abortion justice. Racial justice. Housing justice. Healthcare justice. We know we can make these policies a reality if we continue fighting for them.
So I’m asking you to support this next chapter by becoming a Founding Donor for our 2024 re-election campaign.

When it comes to people-powered movements like ours, every action — big or small — adds up to create real, bold, transformative change.
Six years ago it was small, grassroots donations that spread our message far and wide. Together, we beat a ten-term incumbent, despite pundits saying that I had nothing new to offer, and that our movement was fleeting. The polls had us down 13 points, but we won by double digits. Because you can’t poll transformation. You can’t measure the power of a grassroots movement powered by grassroots donors.
Right now, we’re in a critical moment for our campaign: Early support will be the difference between whether or not we build a winning movement. It will determine the resources we have for organizing hires, community engagement, and voter outreach. That’s why I’m counting on you becoming a Founding Donor today to create the surge of momentum needed to launch our re-election campaign in the strongest position possible.
So I’m asking: Will you become a Founding Donor of this new chapter of our movement together?
Yours in service,
Ayanna
