Hey friend,

I’ll be honest -- this month has been slow for our campaign and my team tells me we’re falling short of reaching our critical monthly goal. 

Let me quickly explain why it's more important now than ever:

This year is going to be unique because every district in the country, including mine, is going to soon face "redistricting" because of the census. And here's the important thing: Trump and Republicans spent the last few years sabotaging the census count to get more Republican seats in Congress. They set up their scheme to get rid of progressive members of Congress like me!

So, now I'm asking you to help me. We can't be caught flat footed in this crucial election. We’ve set a goal to raise $12,000 before the end of the month to get back on track. Can I count on you to rush $3 right now to make sure we hit that number? »

We’re at a critical point in history -- an unrelenting pandemic, skyrocketing inequality, and painful racial injustice have coincided into the perfect storm.

And as we work to dig ourselves out of these concurrent crises, it’s essential that vulnerable Americans don’t get left behind.

The voices of marginalized and vulnerable communities are exactly the ones that I work to represent and amplify everyday in the halls of Congress. But trust me, Republicans hate what I do and they want me gone.

That’s why it’s essential that my campaign has the resources it needs to fend off hateful attack ads from Republicans and dark money Super PACs around the country. 

I really need to make sure we reach this $12,000 goal, and while asking for your hard earned money doesn't come easy to me, I don't have any other choice. So, can I count on you to fight for justice and progress with me by chipping in $3 now? »
