Team,

I can't overstate the importance of this past week. What an incredible convention -- and the energy behind our ticket heading into the final two months of this race is real.

As I watched Joe formally accept the nomination last night to be our Democratic candidate for President, I felt the urgency and historical significance of this moment -- and I hope you did too.

It's going to take all of us, and I mean all of us, doing our part to energize and mobilize the vote this fall. We can't waste a single second.

That's why I'm following up on Joe's email from last night, and asking you pitch in your first $25 into the Biden-Harris Founding Donor Fund to power the work we need to do to win this election »

The values we share, the principles we hold, and the founding ideals of this country are all on the line in this election. So I hope you'll read Joe's note below, and then help keep our grassroots momentum going with your first $25 contribution to our Founding Donor Fund:

Thank you. Let's roll up our sleeves and put everything we have into the next 74 days.

Kamala Harris

Folks --

It is the honor of my lifetime to accept your nomination for President of the United States.

When I say we are in a battle for the soul of the nation, I mean it. This campaign is about more than winning an election, it’s about deciding who we are as a country.

Growing up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, I learned the importance of hard work, treating others with dignity and respect, and leaving no one behind. Those values have guided my entire life. And now, I’m humbled by the responsibility you have entrusted in me to bring these values back to the White House.

Right now we are a country divided, and the world is in disarray. But as my dad always said, “Champ, when you get knocked down, you get back up.” And that’s what I know we can do as a country -- we can get back up.

But here’s the truth: we can only unite the country and win this battle if we work our hearts out every single day between now and November 3rd. And that’s what I’m promising to do, my word as a Biden.

But I need you in this fight with me. I don’t enjoy asking for your money, but this is a grassroots campaign, and grassroots supporters like you will power us to victory.

If you’re ready to win in November, will you make your first donation to own a piece of this campaign? Anything you can give will make a real difference in this battle for the soul of the nation:

We have the opportunity right now to seize this moment in history and make real change for working people.

In the midst of an economic crisis, a public health crisis, and a renewed call for racial justice, it won’t be enough just to build back to where we were before. We have to build America back better.

That’s why as President, and with Vice President Kamala Harris by my side, I am committed to making bold, historic investments in our country. We’ll create millions of jobs, meet the challenge of climate change, regain America’s leadership on the world stage, and more.

Tonight I accepted your nomination for President of the United States. Now, I hope you’ll accept my challenge:

Will you do everything you can over the next 75 days to make sure we win the battle for the soul of our nation?

I hope you’ll make your first donation right now to power this campaign to victory and make sure we hit our $25 million convention goal before midnight.

Thank you,

Joe
