I’m going to be very candid with you.
I didn’t want to send this email.
In my ideal world, I wouldn’t have to send fundraising emails at all.
I would much rather be talking to you about the issues of the day: Our continued fight for action on climate, my work supporting teachers and school workers, and blocking Trump’s attacks on the working class and our democracy, to name a few.
But would it surprise you if I told you that of all of the money our campaign raised in 2024, almost half of it was donated through emails like these?
That’s because this isn’t some corporate-backed campaign where mega-donors drive our strategy. This is a grassroots movement of thousands of people who fund our campaign with small donations of $15 or $20 at a time.
So when I send you these fundraising emails, just know it’s not because I want to, but because I have to if I want to run a campaign that can actually beat the far-right and their multi-million dollar warchest.
Marie — I am humbly asking you to make a contribution today so I can focus less on fundraising emails and more on holding Trump and the MAGA far-right accountable. Any amount you can give helps when thousands of people do their part and chip in together.

I have always relied on this grassroots team to support our work, and I know this deadline won’t be any different.
In solidarity,
