Friend: In just a second, I'm going to ask you to become a Founding Donor of my reelection campaign to keep Georgia and the Senate blue. But first, let me explain why your support today is so critical – and what could happen to the future of our progressive agenda without it.

I'm humbled to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate as its first-ever Black senator. You see, I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth – not even close. I had 11 brothers and sisters, and I grew up in public housing. But through hard work and the support of my family and community, I went on to become the senior pastor at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s church. Now, this kid from Kayton Homes housing projects is fighting in the Senate to make sure everyone has a voice in our government – and that all of our children have a fair shot at the American Dream.

Right now, I'm fighting as hard as I can to provide essential pandemic relief to struggling people; to pass the For the People Act, which will protect our voting rights and strengthen our bruised democracy; and to expand health care so that people don't have to choose between filling their prescriptions and putting food on the table. But I can't win these critical fights for justice without grassroots folks like you by my side – so please, I have to ask:

Will you give $5 or more right now – as much as you can spare before midnight tonight – to become one of the key Founding Donors we need to win our reelection campaign in Georgia and protect our Democratic Senate majority?

I know we just finished a tough battle for Senate control – but we can't afford to sit back and relax. With the Senate split 50-50, Republicans need to flip only one seat to win back the majority for Mitch McConnell – and election experts from The Washington Post to NBC News confirm that I'm the GOP's TOP target for defeat. 

Our progressive agenda is hanging on by a thread in Georgia's Senate race, and I'm going to need the help of this grassroots team to save it. But my last election was one of the most expensive in history – so you can bet the GOP will spend even more to try and buy this seat this time around.

If we want to keep the Senate in Democratic hands, we have to keep Georgia blue. That's why I'm personally asking, friend: Will you give $5 or more right now to become a Founding Donor of our reelection campaign so we can win in Georgia, protect our Democratic Senate majority and continue fighting for our progressive values?

Thanks for being a part of this grassroots team. I appreciate it.
