Person by person, we are building a grassroots movement strong enough to break through this competitive primary, take on Donald Trump, and begin to restore our democracy and heal the country.

But realistically, we can’t successfully build our team without critical resources. Contributions to emails like this one power our campaign.

We’re about to explain why a contribution of any amount today is so important to our campaign to elect Kamala. But before we dive in, can we count on you to pitch in right now?

We hear these questions quite a bit from supporters like you -- and rightfully so! You deserve to know how we’re investing your contributions. We believe in our team so we want to be transparent with you. Here’s what you’ve asked us:

What does my $10, $5, or even $1 do to help the campaign?

Your contribution -- no matter how big or small -- is the lifeline of our organizing efforts. That’s why we call on you so often to step up and pitch in. From adding new, diverse staff to our team to increasing our ground game in our critical early states, everything you pitch in adds to our strength as a movement and what we’re able to build.

No corporate PACs or federal lobbyists? Seriously?

Yes! We believe our campaign must be driven by the people. To keep our promise, we reject contributions from corporate PACs and federal lobbyists.

What’s with all of the deadlines and goals?

Month after month, we start with a clean slate: a brand-new budget and a fundraising goal to keep us on track. Meeting our targets helps determine if we have an opportunity to grow even faster or cut back in some areas.

Now that you know what it takes to fuel our campaign, will you add a contribution to support Kamala’s campaign for president?
