For months, I’ve heard from so many families across the district who are feeling anxious and overwhelmed about our country’s future. They’re terrified that Donald Trump will continue his crusade against the rule of law, rip away health care from millions of families, and even ignore the courts and the Constitution.
I know that these times are difficult, and that it would be easy to throw our hands in the air and give up. But despite what Donald Trump and extreme Republicans want you to believe, we are not powerless.
One of the most important things we can do to fight back against Trump is to ensure we are reaching voters and able to respond to his unprecedented attacks on our families, economy, and democracy.
I hope you will donate to support our work communicating to voters what’s at stake and how to join our fight.

If you’re not quite ready to donate, let me share a few other ways to fight back against Trump, stand up for our communities, and defend our shared Colorado values:
1. Call your representatives. Look, I know this sounds cliche, but calling your elected officials really does make a difference. Because when constituents make enough noise, lawmakers listen. One single phone call may not seem like a lot, but when thousands and thousands of people voice their displeasure with what’s going on in Washington, it truly puts the pressure on lawmakers to take action.
2. Find your community. No matter what cause is most important to you, there are probably groups in your community who share your goals. And if that group doesn’t exist yet, start building it yourself! Whether you live in a red area or a blue area, you’d be surprised just how many people are itching to take action right now.
3. Share your story. When people hear about the daily chaos and negligence of the Trump administration, it’s easy for many people to view those actions in the abstract. But by sharing your personal experience with friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors, you’ll be helping people understand why Trump’s actions are so harmful — and inspiring others to take action as well.
Don’t forget: There is strength in numbers. So I know that if we stick together and find our people, we can make it through these troubling times. We can stop Trump from inflicting the worst of his agenda on the American people. And we can turn our anger into action.
There is nothing Donald Trump would love more than to see us give up. But I refuse to give him that satisfaction.
And finally, I’ll share with you just one more way you can take action – and I’m sure you know what’s coming. I’m humbly asking for your support before our team’s deadline at midnight tonight. I understand that you probably don’t enjoy reading these fundraising requests any more than I enjoy writing them, but the cold, hard truth is that they’re necessary — because we can’t allow right-wing billionaires to lie about me and my record without an equally effective response:

I promise to do everything in my power to take action and move our nation forward — and I hope you’ll do the same.
