Friends -

I just got off the debate stage where I had the chance to make the case for my re-election. I hope I made our movement proud.

It is clear that this moment will require a bold, progressive agenda to dismantle the systems that perpetuate inequities across our country and rebuild a more just and equitable country.

I believe the bold progressive vision that our movement is fighting for — including the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, dismantling systemic racism, and so much more — is the agenda that we need in this moment. That is why I am in this race, and that is what I will fight for if I have the honor of continuing to serve you in the U.S. Senate.

Will you make a contribution to our campaign today to make sure we win? Our primary is quickly approaching, so there’s never been a more important time to have your support.

I know why I am in this race. I’m running to fight for this bold, progressive agenda because I believe that is what we need. So tonight, I drew a clear line in the sand.

Here’s the truth: Joe Kennedy is a progressive in name only, and he has failed to articulate a clear case for why he’s running.

Progressive leadership means you do not wait for the political winds to change, and you fight for what you believe in — no matter how hard or lonely it is. I stood with Bernie Sanders as an original co-sponsor of his transformative 2017 Medicare for All bill. Joe Kennedy waited until just last year to sign on.

If we refuse to fight, then we will not win on these issues. It is that simple. We cannot afford that kind of thinking right now.

Incrementalism does not work. Period.

We need bold — dare I say radical — change if we’re going to truly get justice and equality for all. That is what I’m fighting for, and I need you to join me.

If you are with me in this fight, please make a contribution to support our campaign today. This is a grassroots movement, and I need you in the trenches with me every step of the way if we are going to win.

Thank you for all you are doing to support our grassroots movement. Together, we will build a democracy that works for everyone and save our planet.

- Ed Markey
