Friends -
We've got some good news, and some not so good news. We'll share the good news first. Here it goes:
Our campaign has received an unprecedented number of individual donations. 2.5 million as of this week. That is incredible – no other campaign is anywhere near that number.
Now, the bad news:
During our 2016 campaign, the average was $27. On this campaign, it's closer to $19. And so far this month, the average has dipped even lower to $16.
Let us be very clear: Bernie is extremely proud of the way we are funding this campaign together. But it's important that we stay on track with our opponents who are collecting $2,800 max-out checks. In order to do that, we have two choices:
- More individual donations
- Donations made in slightly larger amounts
Usually when we ask people to contribute to our 2020 campaign for the first time, we ask for $2.70. Today we are going to ask you for a little bit more.
This campaign is made possible by more than 850,000 people contributing what they can to build our movement.
We hope you'll join them today by making your first contribution to our 2020 campaign.
In solidarity,
Team Bernie

We hope you'll stay, because emails are such an important part of how we organize and how we raise money. In fact, there is no single greater source for our campaign's fundraising than emails like this one. And that's important, because no one person, not even Bernie Sanders, can take on Trump and the billionaire class alone.
Before you go about the rest of your day, help power our fight against the billionaire class by making a contribution today.
