Hey all —

I just finished 24 straight hours of campaigning, and while I am a little tired, I am also still fired up!

We started with a 5am coffee run at a Dunkin Donuts in New Bedford. I then got to talk to fishermen as they began their day on the docks. After some more coffee and a little breakfast I chatted with COVID-19 frontline workers at the Brockton Health Center and commuters at the Nubian Square MBTA station in Boston.

And then the day just got busier from there! From a community conversation in Mattapan, to a meetup with Latinx supporters in Peabody, to hanging out with union workers in Worcester, to visiting overnight MBTA workers in Boston, to finally chatting with fishermen again — this time in Gloucester.

Four coffees. Two dinners. Hundreds of conversations, elbow bumps, and smiles. And everywhere I went, I saw energy, momentum, and fire in the hearts of folks on the ground. People are ready to move on from the policies and politics and politicians of the past. They are ready for leadership that shows up in and for Massachusetts.

The common thread between the election of Donald Trump, the wreckage of COVID-19, and the protests against injustice in our streets is a government that has not listened to its people.

That’s why I embarked on a 24 hour campaign day. Because our people deserve it. Because you deserve a Senator who will fight for you every day. Who will show up every day. That means being in our communities, being in our streets, and doing everything possible to help you. I promise I’ll give you everything I've got.

If you are willing to join me in this fight, will you pitch in a $10 donation to power us through the last 10 days of this campaign?

Let’s leave it all out on the field!

— Joe
