Friend,

I am so proud of you -- of your grit and determination in the face of a lawless and feckless administration and the worst public health crisis in a century.

This month, we've seen coronavirus surges across the country, all while Congress refuses to act swiftly in order to help the millions of people who are about to face evictions, foreclosures, or the loss of unemployment benefits.

But this didn't stop you from fighting.

We've seen unidentified federal police forces inciting violence within our communities as we continue to fight for racial equality.

But, even this didn't stop you from fighting.

As a people-powered, grassroots campaign, everything you've contributed to the campaign so far has directly impacted the progressive movement for change. And for that, I'm thanking you.

My opponent, however, cannot say the same.

While I have you, the people, to thank for our campaign's success, my opponent has her billionaire grandparents to thank, as they have funneled millions into a super PAC exclusively for her.

Across the entire country, this is the case. As one of the many progressives running against wealthy or corporate-backed candidates, you and I both know what's at stake this election.

As progressives, we fight. We stand up for what's right. We are constantly uplifting the voices of our marginalized communities, while we defend our earth by constantly addressing the climate crisis. We are no strangers to the fight for workers' rights -- and we are no strangers to promoting socio-economic equality on all fronts.

We are no strangers to the progressive coalition that will take Congress this November.

As we get closer to the election, I am here to thank you -- but also to remind you that we have work to do. As the people. For the people. We the people -- not corporations -- will fight until November and beyond.

I am looking forward to another month of fighting for our progressive values alongside you, friend.

In solidarity,

Georgette Gómez
