It’s Zohran Mamdani. A few months ago, I asked you to stop sending us money.
John, we’re back. Here’s why:
Progressives often use political campaigns solely as a tool to win (or lose) elections. We build grassroots donor networks. We engage volunteers. And come Election Day, we leave the campaign behind and start preparing to govern. The emails stop coming.
But that is not how the big-money interests operate. Their fundraising is constant and prolific. In closed-door meetings, wealthy donors and insider operatives consider how to influence our politics year-round. That’s how our opponents secured the resources to spend $83 million against our movement last year.
There is a cynicism that our politics is permanently broken, that our democracy can only favor the wealthy. But I know that’s not true. We just have to be willing to fight for it.
That’s why we’re making investments in our movement starting right now.
If you can, will you chip in any amount today to build the infrastructure we need to defend our movement?

We can expect that our opposition will be better funded, better organized, and ready to spend earlier than before.
But now, we’re going to be ready.
By investing in this movement, you’re helping us keep communicating what’s possible, and keep building an operation strong enough to meet the fights ahead.
I would be incredibly grateful if you would chip in any amount to power our campaign’s work today, John. 🙏🏽
In solidarity,
Zohran Mamdani
