In just a moment, I am going to ask you to make a donation to my presidential campaign before tonight’s deadline. I hope you’ll give me a chance to explain why this request -- especially today -- is so important.

Here is the truth: when this deadline expires, there’s going to be a budget meeting with our senior staff and they are going to evaluate whether or not we’re on pace to reach our goals for August.

If we reach this goal tonight -- and it’s going to be close -- then we’ll be in our strongest position to win the primary and defeat Trump in the general.

If we fall short, we might have to make some tough calls that could jeopardize all the progress we’ve made in critical early states.

So with time running out, our job is to do everything we can to close this potential shortfall before midnight. That’s why I’m asking:

Rush a contribution to our campaign ahead of tonight’s mid-month fundraising deadline and help ensure our team doesn’t have to make any tough budget decisions this weekend.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Chip in $5 now Chip in $25 now

Chip in $50 now Chip in $100 now

Chip in $250 now Another Amount

Every donation will make a huge difference, especially with August being such a traditionally difficult month for fundraising. So thank you so much for whatever you can pitch in today.

For The People,

— Kamala Harris
