Charlottesville, Virginia, is our home. My family and I moved here 16 years ago following the passing of our son Humayun, who gave his life defending our country in the Iraq war. That is why, when white supremacists and neo-Nazis flooded the streets of our town in 2017 to spread hate against peaceful people of Charlottesville and those who don't look or worship like them, I felt a deep pain for our country.
In the weeks that followed, Joe Biden spoke out against the hateful words of those who had marched through our streets -- and he condemned the words of Donald Trump, who claimed there were "fine people" on both sides. That is how I know Joe Biden understands what America is about. He knows that patriotism and love of country don't depend on the color of one's skin. Friends, I am proud to support him in his fight to become our next president.
Right now, Joe Biden and his campaign need our support. Winning back our country from Trump and his allies will not be easy. Presidential campaigns are costly to run, and in such an important moment, we need to step up and show Joe we have his back. His team tells me that they have a big fundraising deadline coming up on Tuesday, so if you can, please join me in supporting his campaign today:
Will you donate $5 before Tuesday's deadline to help make sure Joe Biden's campaign has what they need to win?

Vice President Biden has always put the country above himself. From the days after he was first elected Senator to his time serving alongside President Obama, Vice President Biden has never wavered in his commitment to our country. President Donald Trump, on the other hand, has consistently chosen self over country, seeking the aid of autocrats to sway elections and undermine our rule of law to serve his self-interest.
I'm supporting Joe Biden for president because of the America he stands for and the one he will fight for -- the country that my son Humayun Khan believed in and fought for so bravely. I hope you will join me in fighting for that America by contributing to Vice President Biden's campaign today, before their important deadline coming up this Tuesday.
Please donate $5, or any amount you can, to support Joe Biden's campaign for president. I'm told that each donation the campaign receives before Tuesday -- no matter how large or small -- will be important to their strategy to win back our country this November.
Thank you,
Khizr Khan
