John,

I’ve been emailing a lot—I’m up against a fundraising deadline and we’re coming up just a little bit short. While corporate PACs are kicking in up to $10,000 a pop to Speaker Pelosi (California has a top-two primary and they’re giving up front for the primary and next November), I am counting on progressive reformers in San Francisco, California, and across the nation to help me in this fight to reform the Democratic Party.

It is time for change. Nothing would send a stronger signal to Washington than replacing the leader of the corporate party with a veteran of the Occupy and antiwar movements who's fought against Bush’s wars, Obama’s surveillance, and the Trump-Pelosi concentration camps.

Can you give today to help us meet our August 31 goal?

In solidarity and gratitude,

- Shahid
