Friend, it's Sherrod Brown, and I have an exciting announcement: Today, I'm launching the Dignity of Work PAC to elect leaders across the country who share my belief that hard work should pay off for everyone.

This fight is personal for me. I grew up in the working-class town of Mansfield, Ohio – and I saw how getting a good job meant you could build a good life for yourself and your family. But as the years went on, I also saw how corporations rigged our systems to benefit themselves at the expense of workers.

I know you've noticed it too, friend. Americans are working harder than ever, with less to show for it. Corporate profits have soared and executive compensation has exploded, but wages are flat and prices keep going up – and no matter how hard folks work, they just can't keep up.

That's why I've devoted my life to fighting for the Dignity of Work – the belief that hard work should pay off for everyone, no matter who you are, where you live or what kind of work you do. Because when you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work.

So I'm getting back in the fight with the Dignity of Work PAC – and I'm personally asking you to chip in $5 to join me and make Democrats the workers' party once again.

We all know the status quo isn't working – and Donald Trump is only making things worse. Tanking the economy, firing veterans, taking health care away from people – this is not the change Americans voted for.

Workers need and deserve a government that's on their side. But the people in power right now – from Trump to Elon Musk to their billionaire allies – are a bunch of wealthy one-percenters making decisions that benefit themselves and people like them.

Americans have rightfully demanded change – but they want change that benefits them, not corporate CEOs and Tesla stockholders. That's what we're fighting for.

Together, we can create an economy where all work is valued, where people benefit from the wealth they create and where everyone can retire with dignity. If you agree, I hope you'll join us by donating $5 or more today – because real change, the kind we're talking about, is going to take a national grassroots movement, and I need you with me.

Thank you in advance for being a part of our movement from day one. Let's get to work.

In solidarity,
Sherrod
