Team, I can't believe it's been two months —
Two months ago, I launched People First Future with one goal: to elect bold, progressive candidates who will put people first.
And, so far, we've made huge progress — all thanks to supporters like you. Your donations helped Mondaire Jones, Marie Newman, Candace Valenzuela, and José Garza win competitive primaries.
But that's just the start — we're backing 22 people first candidates. That's why I've been working with my team to sketch out some ambitious plans that will help all our candidates win.
Also, for one day only, we're reopening our Founding Donor program. Since your gift today will help lay the foundation that will propel all of our candidates to victory, if you give before midnight you'll become a People First Future Founding Donor.
Team, I've seen firsthand how much our politics revolves around big donors, party machines, and special interests. I've seen how the well-funded and well-connected decide who goes to Washington, and who gets the loudest microphones when they get there.
And, while the wealthy and powerful get their way, the poor get poorer and decades-old issues go unresolved.
I launched this movement to fix that. Together, let's build the foundation that will elect bold leaders who will take on powerful, entrenched interests and put the people first.
Later today, Natalie is going to circle back with an update on how our one-day fundraising push is going.
Thanks!
