In just a moment, we are going to ask you to make your first contribution to Kamala Harris's campaign. Please give us a chance to explain why this request -- especially right now -- is so important.

Here's the deal:

In just 5 days, we close the books on the final FEC fundraising deadline of the election.

We've set a goal to raise 1 million donations before then -- because that's what it is going to take to reach every voter we need to win. In a race this close, every dollar we can devote to voter contact can make the difference between winning and losing.

But even more importantly, the money we raise before the deadline will inform our final spending decisions before Election Day.

We know there are more persuadable and infrequent Democratic voters that we can mobilize -- but only if we have the resources.

Today, we do not have that money -- and time is running out.

Kamala Harris needs today to be the day you make your first contribution to our campaign. Our average online donation is around $60. Some give more. Many give less. All that matters is that you help us hit our 1 million donation goal before this deadline ends.

We know you probably weren't thinking about donating today before you got this email, but we hope we've convinced you why it's so important.

Thank you,

Harris-Walz HQ
