Before you delete this email, we need a chance to explain ourselves. Because trust us — writing these emails asking for your hard-earned money isn’t our favorite part of the day either.

Here’s the situation: Right now, some of the wealthiest, most powerful individuals in the country are raking in millions. Then, they’re turning right around and spending that money to oppose basic, common-sense legislation to help working families.

Paid family leave? According to some millionaires and billionaires, that’s an unacceptable “handout.” The first minimum wage increase in nearly two decades? Nope. The billionaires who control the Republican Party think $7.25 is more than enough.

Brittany Pettersen is building a grassroots movement made up of folks who don’t believe $7.25 is enough. Folks who don’t think billionaires should have another tax giveaway. If that describes you, we’re asking for your support to help us take that message straight to Washington DC.

Donald Trump has stuffed his administration — and the Republican Party as a whole — to the brim with some of the most corrupt, morally bankrupt individuals in the country. Between the crowns and private jets from foreign countries, the rampant insider trading, and all the shady crypto scams, Trump and his allies are making millions, all while regular families are left fighting for scraps.

That’s why Brittany has led the charge to finally hold the corrupt accountable. And she has the record to prove it.

Brittany’s introduced bills to ban stock trading in Congress and protect Americans from deep fake scams. And despite Republican groups pouring money into Colorado every election year to smear Brittany’s name, she has never been intimidated into silence.

Here’s where you come in: Republicans are desperate to keep their grip on power through any means necessary. Dark money attack ads, super PAC lies, you name it — all of it could be coming our way extremely soon.

For years, Brittany has led the fight to clean up Washington and finally give working people a voice. And that’s exactly why the far-right and their corrupt friends are working so hard to take Brittany down. Please, chip in right away to make sure that NEVER happens.

Thanks so much,

Team Pettersen
