John xxxxxx,
With our last deadline of 2020 coming up tomorrow at midnight and our fundraising severely slowing down, I have to make a personal request:
Can you pitch in $10 or any amount towards our campaign so we’re ready to make progress in 2021?

This year has been one for the record books, and while it was filled with unprecedented challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, it also had some major victories thanks to folks like you standing up, speaking out and fighting for what’s right.
Not only did our Democratic House majority hold President Trump accountable for his corrupt abuse of power, but the American people decisively fired him at the ballot box and prevented another four years of his disastrous presidency in November's historic election. And none of it would have been possible without the hard work of dedicated organizers and activists on the ground mobilizing voters across the country.
In the House, we passed a number of groundbreaking bills to make progressive change and lift up our communities, including:
- The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore and expand the Voting Rights Act and stop the growing trend of voter suppression, in honor of our hero John Lewis who devoted his life to the equal right to vote.
- The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to prevent the loss of Black lives by banning chokeholds, no-knock warrants, racial and religious profiling and more to reform our criminal justice system.
- The Raise the Wage Act to give workers a much deserved boost and finally increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour across the country.
Unfortunately, none of these bills or our additional legislation to provide more pandemic relief were passed by the Republican-controlled Senate, landing in Mitch McConnell’s self-described “legislative graveyard.” 2021 is the year we can change that.
As long as the GOP maintains their Senate majority, we have some major fights ahead of us in order to deliver stronger relief and positive change to our communities.
That’s why this final fundraising deadline matters: we need to ensure we have the resources we need to close out 2020 and start 2021 off strong.
I know I’m ready to keep delivering results for the people and do what it takes to make change happen. Will you help me by making a donation of any amount to help reach our end-of-year fundraising goal?

Thanks for everything you’ve done this past year: to get out the vote, to pull the plug on Donald Trump, to send a good and decent man to the White House and to help us hold our Democratic majority in the House.
The time to clean up Trump’s mess, defeat this virus and rebuild our country has come, whether Mitch McConnell likes it or not. Let’s get to work.
Keep the faith,
— Hakeem
