Team,
It was in Greenville, North Carolina, a little over a year ago, when Donald Trump incited his supporters to boo at the mention of my name and chant, "Send her back!" And today, he will return there for another one of his hate-filled rallies.
What's different this time around is that our movement has proven that our victory in 2018 was not a fluke. With our primary win, we've earned a mandate for change -- one that, if we mobilize hard enough, voters will reinforce at the polls and by mail-in ballot in the next 19 days. But we've got to prepare to respond to events like today, where Trump is bound to tap into racism and xenophobia and spread even more disinformation and distrust about the movement we're building together.
Will you pitch in $5 or whatever you can to fight back and show everyone our staying power? [link removed]
Donald Trump seizes on every possible opportunity to smear our movement, and this afternoon will not be an exception. Like at most of his rallies, he'll probably attack me by name, but make no mistake: His attacks against me are attacks on all of us. They are attacks on our shared vision of a country where no one goes without healthcare, education, housing, and clean air and water. But as his campaign becomes more hateful, our movement grows stronger, inspiring more and more people to unite against his bigotry to fight for a more just, equal world. Let's show just how far we've come.
Chip in $5 to prove that our progressive movement is here to stay. [link removed]
In solidarity,
