If you didn't catch last night's presidential debate, you missed seeing Donald Trump in his purest form: a shambolic, rambling mass of lies, racism, and hatred.

He lied about his failed response to COVID-19 and the devastation he's wrought on our economy. He ranted about mail-in ballots and once again refused to commit to honoring the results of the election. And most galling of all, when specifically asked to condemn the white supremacist groups that are backing him, he instead told them to "stand back and stand by" -- a line that his hateful supporters like the Proud Boys are cheering on as a call to prepare for violence.

Now he's headed to Minnesota fresh off that bigoted energy for a rally, where he's all but certain to evoke Ilhan's name to tap into racism, sexism, and xenophobia and rile up his base to flip Minnesota red.

But our organizing power is stronger than his hatred -- so it's up to us to harness the full strength of our progressive movement to turn out every Democratic vote and keep Minnesota blue.

The road to Democratic victory statewide in Minnesota runs through the Fifth District. So to keep up our get-out-the-vote operations, it's critical that we meet our $1.3 million end-of-quarter-goal before midnight tonight.

Will you chip in $5 or more toward our end-of-quarter goal right now so we have the resources to get out the vote, defeat Trump, and build on our hard-won progress? [link removed]
Trump is coming to Minnesota again because he knows that we have the ability to mount a get-out-the-vote operation that will seal his defeat for good. We broke turnout records in our primary last month and brought 37,000 new voters into the fold. While he appeals to racism and bigotry, we appeal to a desire for progress and equality for all. We know we can win this election not only for our campaign but for Joe Biden, Tina Smith, and Democrats up and down the ballot, keeping Minnesota blue -- but we need the money to keep running ads, phone-banking, and connecting with voters.

With our end-of-quarter deadline just hours away, chip in $5 to make sure we meet our bold $1.3 million goal to break turnout records, defeat Trump and get one step closer to creating a country that works for everyone.[link removed]
