Sorry to reach out on New Year’s Eve, but I need to ask a quick favor of you.

The worst part of this job is asking people for money. I hate making these requests. But the reality is billionaires and corporations are funneling unlimited sums of money to Donald Trump and Republicans in exchange for whatever favors they need from their regime.

I’ve spent this year trying to lead the fight against this corruption and build an effective grassroots opposition. That’s why I turned my fundraising operation into a mobilization fund that would put resources to work immediately fighting back.

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now — not just banking money for the next election.

I hope my efforts this year have made you proud to be part of this team. But this fight is far from over, and Trump and his allies are hoping that the grassroots energy and opposition to him has subsided. They want to lull all of us into a sense of normalcy about what is happening.

Look, I wish money didn’t matter. I would love it if I never had to ask you again, but this deadline and your support really do matter for our movement.

If you support my leadership and want to help me keep the pressure on in Washington, please consider making a contribution to our mobilization fund before tonight’s FEC deadline. Your donation not only sends a powerful message — but whatever you can give will directly fund the grassroots organizing efforts required to stop Trump’s corruption.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.
