Friend,

We’re about halfway through August and still a bit behind our fundraising goal for the month. So in a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a donation to our critical mid-month goal by Friday (if you’re ready to cut to the chase, you can pitch in $5 here). But first, give me a moment to explain —

Every single day, I’m fighting hard in Congress to make real change for our communities. Over the past few weeks, I’ve campaigned harder than ever to make the House’s gun reform bills become law and led a delegation of Congress members to fight back against Trump’s refusal of care rule — which would allow health care providers to deny patients care because of who they are, who they love, or where they come from.

All of these issues matter to me personally. With so much at stake, like Republican attempts to dismantle our health care, I need to stay focused on doing my job in the House — not dialing for dollars during a mid-month fundraising push. That’s where I’m hoping you can help:

Our critical mid-month deadline is this Friday and we’re still behind where we need to be for August. Can I count on you to make an immediate donation of $5 or more today to get us back on track? I promise every dollar will go toward fighting for families like yours.

DONATE

I’m so grateful for anything you’re able to give, friend. I know when these fundraising pushes come around I can always count on you to step up and be a part of this grassroots team.

In solidarity,

Barbara Lee
