Let's not sugarcoat it:
John,
Let’s not sugarcoat it: The billionaires are buying our democracy out from under us. And we know exactly what happens when the rich and powerful take control:
- Medicaid, Social Security, and essential programs get gutted while billionaires get richer.
- Working-class people get priced out, pushed out, and silenced.
- Trans folks, Black and brown communities, Palestinians, immigrants, Indigenous land and water protectors, union organizers, reproductive rights advocates, teachers speaking truth in the classroom, LGBTQ+ youth, climate activists, and anyone fighting for justice get targeted—just for existing.
The ultra-rich aren’t just trying to win elections. They’re trying to erase movements, strip away protections, and consolidate power for themselves. Not on Summer Lee’s watch.
Billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Yass—who love to meddle in our democracy—can make over $2,000 per second. That’s right: more in a single second than many folks make in an entire paycheck.
That’s why we set a goal to raise $2,000 today—because even though it’s just a drop in the bucket to them, people power is how we fight back. Will you click here and help us hit this goal today?
Here’s the thing: The people pulling the strings in Washington aren’t just content to keep their wealth—they want total control. That means shutting down unions, attacking marginalized communities, and forcing working folks into endless cycles of struggle.
They have their billions. But we have each other. And when we organize, when we push back, when we build power from the bottom up, we win.
We told you what billionaires like Musk and Yass make per second. But in just one hour, they can easily rake in over $1,000,000. That’s what we’re up against. That’s the system they want to keep rigged.
If that makes you furious, good. It should. But let’s turn that frustration into action today and let's go make a difference! Can you click here and chip in today to help us fight back?

Summer is in Congress because of people like you—not corporations, not special interests, not billionaire mega donors. And the only way we keep this movement strong is by standing together.
Let’s show them that no amount of money can silence our fight for justice.
In solidarity,
Team Summer Lee
