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

Here's the truth:

In just two days, this election will be over.

Everyone is watching to see how we close out this campaign -- and far-right super PACs are deciding whether to spend more to defeat us or to use their resources somewhere else.

But even more importantly, we are taking stock of our numbers as a whole and making our own final spending decisions in the hours before Election Day.

We know there are places where we can find more persuadable voters and Democrats who are infrequent voters and turn them out for us -- only if we have the resources. Today, we don't have that money.

And because there is no greater source of donations to our campaign than emails like this one, we're asking:

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. We just need a huge number of donations before midnight.

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,

Kamala Harris for President
