John, in a moment I will share the story about how I was born and why I fight day after day for this country and its most vulnerable communities. But first, I must humbly ask:

Will you make a contribution of $10 or anything you can afford to help us reach our mid-month goal in four days? We’re fighting to end the Trump administration’s dangerous policies, but we truly can’t do it without your help.

My mother almost died giving birth to me. The hospital refused to admit her because she was Black. That was a common reality for Black people in 1946.

She was left unattended on a gurney in the hall until she passed out from the unbearable pain.

Eventually, it became too late for a C-section and one doctor decided to pull me out with forceps. That’s how I came into this world and up until a few years ago, I still had a scar from the forceps above my eye.

I almost didn’t make it — but because I did, I know it’s my duty to fight for a better world. One where everyone has access to health care. One with racial justice. One where Black mothers aren’t three to four times more likely to die from childbirth. One where the Trump administration does not incite violence and fan the flames of racism.

That’s why, today, I’m personally asking you to fight with me. If I’m going to uproot Trump’s despicable agenda, I cannot do it alone. So, can I count on you to chip in $10 today to help us fight for our progressive agenda?

Every dollar you give today will go toward the ultimate goal of supporting our most vulnerable communities, ending Trump’s agenda, and healing our nation.

Thank you for all that you do.

In solidarity,

Barbara Lee
