John,
I’m reaching out because we’re just a few hours away from our end-of-quarter deadline – and we’re still $1,500 short of what we need to keep Summer’s campaign strong.
We can’t afford to let her down right now – not with so much at stake.
Here’s the truth: Summer Lee has always fought for what’s right, no matter how powerful the opposition is.
She’s fighting to get money out of politics because she knows corporate PACs and billionaires shouldn’t be buying our democracy. She’s fighting for peace and justice here at home and around the world – even when it means standing up to powerful lobbies and dark interests. And she’s fighting for working families every single day – families who have been left behind by a system rigged for the wealthy and well-connected.
But because she’s willing to stand up, they’re willing to spend big $ to take her down.
And here’s something we don’t talk about enough: Black women running for office typically raise only about one-third of what their white counterparts raise. Not because they aren’t working just as hard or connecting with voters just as powerfully – but because the system has always been stacked against them. It creates a massive roadblock for candidates like Summer.
As you know, Summer Lee made history as the first Black congresswoman to ever represent Pennsylvania. That’s not just historic – it’s powerful. And it’s exactly why Republicans and corporate special interests are targeting her. They know that her voice in Congress – fighting for peace, for justice, for working people, and for a democracy that truly works for us – is a threat to their power.
That’s why this end-of-quarter fundraising deadline is so important. We need to show them that Summer has a movement behind her. We need to show them that grassroots people power is stronger than any billionaire’s check they can cash.
Thank you for always stepping up when it matters most. Summer is out here fighting for us every single day – whether it’s taking on corporate polluters, fighting to get money out of politics, demanding peace and human rights, or standing up to the gun lobby to keep our communities safe. Today, let’s fight for her.
In solidarity,
Team Summer
