Friend --

In just a minute, I’m going to ask you to donate $25 to the DNC before Sunday’s deadline to help Democrats win up and down the ballot in the years ahead. But first, I hope you’ll give me a minute to explain why:

In just two days, the Democratic Party faces our next big test -- our February end-of-month fundraising deadline. And, the truth is, what we raise in these early days will determine what we are able to accomplish in elections in 2021, 2022, and beyond.

We’re relying on grassroots supporters like you to invest early so we can not just hold onto our slim Democratic majorities, but truly build on them in the years ahead. My friends tell me we only need a few more donations from Philadelphia to hit the DNC’s goal before Sunday’s midnight deadline.

So, will you make a $25 contribution -- or any amount you can afford -- to support Democrats nationwide right now? Your donation will send a powerful message about the strength of our Democratic movement ahead of this critical deadline.

Grassroots supporters are the lifeblood of our movement. YOU elected Joe and Kamala, YOU held our Democratic majority in the House of Representatives, and YOU helped us take back the Senate for Democrats.

I wish I could tell you that we could take the next few years off. But if we do, we’ll lose any progress we made, and lose the opportunity to help millions of people who need it most. As we speak, the DNC is building up our organizing infrastructure in every state, investing full-scale in state parties, and making sure we have the tools to fight voter suppression.

But they won’t be able to do it without your help. So, can I count on you to chip in $25 to the DNC before Sunday’s deadline so we don’t fall short of our goal?

Thank you for all your help. With you on our side, I feel confident about our future.
