John,

We’re about halfway through July and still a bit behind our fundraising goal for the month. So in a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a donation to our critical mid-month goal on Wednesday (if you’re ready to cut to the chase, you can pitch in $10 here). But first, give me a moment to explain —

Every single day, I’m fighting hard in Congress to make real change for our communities. Over the past few weeks, I’ve campaigned harder than ever to reform our criminal justice system, end police brutality, expand access to health care during this pandemic, and fight off all of Trump’s dangerous policies.

All of these issues matter to me personally. With so much at stake, I need to stay focused on doing my job in the House — not dialing for dollars during a mid-month fundraising push. That’s where I’m hoping you can help:

Our critical mid-month deadline is this Wednesday and we’re still behind where we need to be. Can I count on you to make a donation of $10 or more today to get us back on track? I promise every dollar will go toward fighting for families like yours.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I’m so grateful for anything you’re able to give. I know when these fundraising pushes come around I can always count on you to step up and be a part of this grassroots team.

In solidarity,

Barbara Lee
