One year ago, I got the call that I was not going to win the election.

I walked down the stairs to my family in shock. All I could do was repeat, over and over, “What will happen to our country?”

As I have heard these last few months from people across our nation and around the world, many of you felt the same way.

Over the past year, we have seen Donald Trump use the presidency to line his own pockets and enrich billionaires; target SNAP, Medicaid, and programs for our veterans; terrorize our immigrant communities; deteriorate our national security; and put our economy at risk of recession. I could go on. And I fear it may get worse before it gets better.

I predicted all of it. I warned of it. What I did not predict: the capitulation. The number of people who have bent the knee at the foot of a tyrant has been profound.

So what do we do?

The answer for how to move forward will not come out of Washington, D.C.. The change that we want and the improvement that we need must come from the people.

And the people are already speaking. Millions of Americans have taken to the streets in protest out of love of our country and belief in its promise. Millions more headed to the polls on Tuesday to resoundingly elect local Democratic leaders who will fight for progress in their communities.

We must harness that power to come up with a blueprint for our government that truly works for the American people. We must continue speaking out and listening when the people say, "This is how I want my government to work for me."

My work now is focused on amplifying those voices and uplifting the next generation of leaders as we continue this fight. We have some serious work to do to reimagine our vision for our country, and I need you with me.

So I am humbly asking: Will you mark one year into this next chapter by making a donation to support my work today? Every donation sends a powerful message that the people will not give up on our country.

We will not retreat from this fight. It may take a while, but the fight for our country is always worth it. And we will win.

Thank you and care,

Kamala
