I hate to admit this:
 
I might not make the cut for the next debates. 
 
The DNC just raised the threshold.
 
Their new rules give billionaires the chance to buy their way in -- all while undermining grassroots campaigns like mine.  
 
I don’t have the luxury of spending $10 million of my own money to fast-track my way to the debate stage. 
 
But frankly -- that’s not how I want to run this campaign.
 
I want to earn your support the authentic way.
 
I want to be a voice for kids like me who grew up on the “wrong side of town.”
 
I want to prove that being the son of a single mother doesn’t determine your destiny. 
 
I want to stand up for immigrant and Latinx communities like mine.
 
And I refuse to play to wealthy donors or the establishment to make my message heard.
 
I’m not giving up.
 
I’m throwing every last resource I have into funding my critical persuasion ads and securing the polls I need to make the debate cut. 
 
I need 500 gifts before midnight to fund them. Will you chip in? 
 
Chip in $5 now >>

Chip in $25 now >>

Chip in $50 now >>

Chip in $100 now >>

Chip in another amount now >>
 
I know every dollar is precious to you. I wouldn’t ask if I wasn’t truly relying on your support.

Contributions or gifts to Julián for the Future are not tax deductible.

No one like Julián Castro has ever been in the Oval Office. His grandmother immigrated here from Mexico when she was just 7 years old. She never got past the 4th grade, but she provided for her family by working as a maid and a housekeeper.

Now, her grandson is running for President of the United States. Against all odds, grassroots Democrats like YOU helped him qualify for the Democratic debates and sent him to the front of the pack of Democratic candidates.

We know we send you a lot of emails, but that’s because we’re relying on grassroots supporters to overcome our next big challenge:

Julián must be able to compete and build a movement that lasts for the long haul, and he’s not taking a cent of corporate PAC money to do it. Will you be a part of this historic campaign?
