The American Dream is alive, John. 

Just look:

This is a picture of my mom and my three sisters watching me speak at the DNC. 

My immigrant mother raised the four of us on a secretary’s salary. I worked any job I could get to support the family. I slept on the floor, on the couch, on a roll-out mattress. I got into Harvard with no money, no connections. I fought in Iraq. And now, I’m running for the U.S. Senate in Arizona. 

I believed it when I was a kid, and I believe it now: Anything is possible in the United States of America. 

But there is no denying that the American Dream feels out of reach for far too many. 

Kari Lake won’t fix that, and Trump won’t either. They’ll divide us further, cut taxes for their billionaire friends, and leave an economy that works for them — not working families, not the middle class. 

It is up to us to keep the American Dream alive — to defend it, to strengthen it. And the best way we can do that right now is by defeating Trump and Kari Lake. 

So, I’m asking you to make a split donation to my campaign and Blue Amp Action today. Whatever you can afford. No donation is too small in a campaign as close as this one, and these add up fast when everyone is chipping in.

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
