Hi team,

Our campaign is facing our first fundraising deadline of the year tomorrow, so I hope you’ll give me a moment to explain why your contribution matters right now.

In just the first week and a half since Donald Trump’s presidency ended and a Democratic majority took back the Senate, we’ve already made strong progress on some of the pressing issues facing our country today.

President Biden has rapidly issued executive actions to re-enter the Paris Climate Agreement; end the xenophobic Muslim travel ban, the ban on transgender military service, and various cruel immigration policies; stop the Justice Department’s renewal of contracts with private prisons; revoke the Keystone XL pipeline permit; issue a federal mask mandate; invoke the Defense Production Act to rapidly produce more PPE and other medical supplies to fight the virus; and extend the national eviction freeze and student loan pause.

That’s a lot of progress for just ten days!

While the Biden administration makes these great strides, I’m working with my Democratic colleagues in the Senate to pass additional COVID-19 relief, rebuild our democracy with stronger voting rights and get big money out of politics through the For the People Act, finally raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, and hold former President Trump accountable through the upcoming Senate impeachment trial.

I’ve certainly got my hands full here in Washington, and that’s why your donation matters so much: it enables me to stay focused on addressing these crises and making real change. The more folks pitch in to emails like this one, the less I have to worry about fundraising and can focus on the job at hand: building our country back better.

So, before we reach our January fundraising deadline at midnight tomorrow, can you pitch in $10 or anything you can afford to support our movement for progress? Please only contribute if you’re in a position to do so right now.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

With Democrats leading the House, Senate, and White House and people like you by my side, I’m so incredibly hopeful for the future of our country and what we’ll accomplish in the days ahead.

This is only the beginning.
