It's easy to talk about November in terms of defeating Donald Trump at the ballot box (or, here in Oregon, the mailbox).

And make no mistake: winning in November is important. Donald Trump degrades the presidency with nearly every word he utters.

But our fight is about so much more than defeating Trump – or "defeating" anybody. This fight is about standing for working families. It's about passing a bold, progressive agenda so our government works for everyone who calls this country home. It's about all of us. 

We already know there are wealthy special interests and Republican insiders lining up to stop us. Chip in $3 before our end-of-quarter deadline to show them we're not backing down.

We've got to win in November so we can make access to quality, affordable health care a right, not a privilege. It's time to put an end to the legal challenges and profit-chasing from billion-dollar corporations and their pals in GOP leadership.

We've got to win so we can build an economy that values hard work, not reckless Wall Street gambling.

We've got to win so we can move forward on "the Green New Deal 2.0" – my comprehensive framework to transition to a clean energy future by rebuilding America's infrastructure and creating hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs.

So we can fire the lobbyists and industry flunkies Trump has appointed, and make our government work for all people again.

So we can dismantle systems of white privilege, make long overdue systemic changes, and provide moral leadership abroad.

November is only 128 days away, and we're facing our first end-of-quarter deadline since the primary. Now's the time to build up the resources we need this year. Contribute $3 now to build our movement, get the word out, and win.
