Friend, throughout my career, I've seen firsthand how bad actors can take advantage of unsuspecting people and their families.

When I took office as the first Black woman elected as New York attorney general, I swore that I'd stop at nothing until these corrupt corporations and crooked individuals were brought to justice.

And while I've stuck by my promise to fight against these malicious forces, they've only gotten more aggressive with their tactics. With so much hanging in the balance next year, I need your help to hold them accountable with your $5 donation before my $10,000 end-of-month fundraising deadline.

• Hold them accountable for cheating workers and exploiting families.

• Hold them accountable for trying to take away our reproductive rights.

• Hold them accountable for attempting to dismantle our democracy.

It's up to fearless fighters like us to take on these bad actors and hold them accountable for their crimes against the vulnerable and voiceless.

If we don't, then we run the risk of an unrecognizable future – one where our rights, livelihoods, and our very democracy are on the chopping block.

Brave advocates like you have always stepped up in moments like this, friend. And with my end-of-month deadline coming up, I'm calling on you to stand by my side so that I have the resources I need to stop these corrupt, powerful forces.

Will you rush a donation of $5 or more right now toward my $10,000 goal so that we can make sure these bad actors are held accountable?

Thank you,

Letitia James
