The way I see it, every time someone takes an action to support this campaign, it’s a leap of faith.
They may know that if they’re the only ones donating, their $5 or $20 won’t go too far. It might only be a drop in a bucket against all the funding from the national Republicans and powerful interests that are against us.
But they are not alone. They are a part of a team — this team — of people across the country who believe that big, structural change is possible and are willing to fight for it.
It’s how we’ve been able to launch the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, get student debt cancellation passed, and started to make big freeloading corporations finally pay federal income taxes.
One thing that all of these examples have in common? They had strong opposition from special interests. People said that these ideas would never see the light of day. That they were too hard to make possible. But this movement got it done.
And it starts every time someone believes that better is possible, takes a leap of faith, and invests in something that will benefit everyone in our country. Collectively, it adds up to something powerful.
So if you’re able to invest in our movement to pass progressive, economic policies that support working people, please make a contribution of $28 or anything you can to support our campaign.
Thank you for everything you’ve done — and will continue to do — as a member of this team, and for being a part of this.
