June 5, 2018.

Do you remember it? I'll never forget it — that was the day we launched our first campaign for Congress. The truth is, I had no idea what to expect.

I knew we had a large number of supporters who would be willing to commit the time and hard work needed to run a campaign of that magnitude, but I also knew that one of the biggest challenges we'd face would be funding a winning campaign.

But because of supporters like you, that was never in doubt. We were able to organize and mobilize our movement in Minnesota's 5th district, fighting off unprecedented right-wing attacks and outside spending along the way.

Two years later in 2020 we did it again. And again in 2022 and 2024.

Midnight tonight.

Just a few hours from now — our first end-of-month deadline in 2025 and our first with Trump back in the White House.

I know my team and I have reached out about deadlines like this before, but it’s really important that we have a big show of momentum this month.

People are wondering if progressives are up to the task of standing against Trump and his far-right agenda, meaning if we fall short we’ll send all the wrong messages about the strength of this movement.

$3.

That's the amount I'm asking you to contribute right now to stand with our movement, close our fundraising gap, and get the job done.

Are you in?

Please make your first contribution — of $3 or anything you can — before tonight's midnight deadline. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward continuing our movement's fight.

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

I know $3 doesn't seem like the kind of money that can make that big of a difference, but when everyone stands together like I know we can, it all adds up.

In solidarity,

Ilhan
