In just a moment, we are going to ask you to donate directly to Kamala Harris's campaign before our FEC fundraising deadline comes to a close. But before we do, you deserve to know why this request -- especially today -- is so important.

Here is the truth:

Some of our campaign's biggest fundraising moments happen alongside these FEC fundraising deadlines and we need this one to be the biggest to date.

Because when this one ends, we're going to take stock of what we've raised and make some of the most important spending decisions of the campaign -- win or lose decisions.

These are complicated decisions, because states start voting at different times. If we increase our spending in North Carolina to improve our chances there, what happens if we don't have what we need before Wisconsin votes?

That's why this is so important. But we’ll only reach our fundraising goals if people who care about the outcome of this election step up for the first time.

You may not have woken up thinking today would be the day you donated to Kamala Harris's campaign for President for the first time, but we are asking:

Will you contribute $5, $50, or whatever you can afford before our critical FEC fundraising deadline comes to a close? We will put your donation right to work reaching the voters we need to win this election.

Thank you,

Kamala Harris for President
