Friends, we're approaching a key deadline for our campaign.

Tuesday marks the mid-way point of the month -- the date where we'll see whether our grassroots fundraising is on track, or if we need to adjust our plans for our final stages of voter outreach.

I mapped it out with the team, and based on past donations we estimate we'll need about 12,375 donations from Pennsylvania between now and Tuesday to hit this mid-month fundraising benchmark. So I'm emailing to ask, will you make one of them?

Please, chip in your first $25 before Tuesday's mid-month fundraising deadline, and help make sure we have the resources to keep running the best campaign possible in September, and through Election Day >>

Last month, we were able to shatter fundraising records because we kept pace at every benchmark throughout the month, and setting new ambitious goals helped us budget out a new, more ambitious program.

But to keep that going, we need to turn around and do the same thing again.

Monday will mark 50 days until Election Day, and ballots are already in the mail in some key states. This is the moment when we need to be making our best pitch to voters about why they should support Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

We need to expand our advertising efforts, both on television, in the mail, and on the internet.

We need to place more grassroots organizers in key states, so they can make sure that supporters are ready and able to vote.

We need to forcefully reject the Trump campaign's message of hate and division, and show voters all across the country that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the leaders our country desperately needs right now.

And to do all that, we need grassroots supporters like you to step up and help make sure we have the resources to sustain this campaign, through the rest of this month and beyond. We know that Trump will be ramping up his spending and voter outreach to try and win over early voters, and we can't give him an inch.

That's why our mid-month deadline is so important, and why we're counting on your support at this crucial moment. So please: chip in your first $25 before Tuesday, and help us hit our goal of 12,375 more donations from Pennsylvania.

I know these goals are high and the deadlines are constant, but that's because -- and I don't have to tell you this -- it's just not a normal year. Donald Trump is not a normal opponent, and campaigns have never had to exist in an environment like this.

So the stakes are higher, the program is bigger, and the budget is more demanding, which is why we rely on you. Thanks to you we accomplished what we did last month and will do so again this month.

Thanks so much again. We can do this!
