In a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution of whatever you can afford towards my reelection campaign. My team let me know that we’re running slightly behind on an important goal, and I hope you can help. But first, let’s talk about the movement we’ve built:
We’re living in times that demand courage and resolve. As we speak, millions of our neighbors are out of work. Too many families have lost people they love due to COVID-19. Whether you live in a city, a suburb, or a small town, you’ve felt the sting of this pandemic in some form.
Meanwhile, too many of our leaders in Washington refuse to rise to the scale of this crisis. For months, our legislation to provide real relief to working families has been blocked in the Senate. That’s the reality of our politics – even in times of crisis, there are too many people in power who are unaccountable to the people.
In these moments, grassroots power is more important than ever. The ability to mobilize folks to fight for real economic justice, elect champions who refuse to bow to corporate interests, and introduce powerful legislation that speaks to the needs of those who are suffering is the key to ending these concurrent crises – and it’s exactly what we’re working to build here.
I won’t mislead you, doing things this way isn’t easy. Unlike the vast majority of Congress, we refuse all PAC money – corporate, special interest, everything. That’s because there’s enough members of Congress who have to have other considerations besides their constituents. Not us.
On Capitol Hill, I’m fighting for the things that’ll make a difference – Medicare for All, action on climate change, expanding access to rural broadband, monthly COVID-19 relief checks for every family, term limits for SCOTUS, and so much more.
Your support has enabled that work. Thank you, for everything.
In solidarity,
Ro
