Team,

I'm not a lawyer, a doctor, or a former CEO.

I am a refugee who fled war as a young child. I was a first-generation college student who knows what it's like to be burdened with student loan debt. And I'm also an organizer who has spent much of my life since I came to America mobilizing my community for the change we not only need but deserve.

I serve in Congress because representation is about being fluent in the day-to-day struggles of the people you represent, and I've lived out so many of those struggles.

It's my job to turn your cries for change and justice into legislation, and the reason we've made so much progress in such a short time is because of the people-powered movement we've built together.

Now, as our campaign faces our first end-of-quarter deadline of the year tomorrow, it's deeply important that we meet our $200,000 goal to ensure we have the resources to keep fighting for bold, transformative change.

So I'm asking you personally: Will you make your first donation of $5 or more so we can meet our end-of-quarter deadline and keep organizing for an America that puts people over profit?
Our movement is so strong because so many know what it's like to be uninsured or underinsured, or struggle to pay off student debt, or keep a roof over their head -- especially during a time when our country is suffering from a horrific pandemic and severe economic hardship.

The progressive policies we're fighting for are more than ideas -- they would save lives and livelihoods.

So we can't let up when it comes to organizing like hell to finally establish a housing guarantee, secure Medicare for All, cancel every penny of student debt, and demand a $15 minimum wage.

If you can, please donate $5 before tomorrow's end-of-quarter deadline to make sure we hit our $200,000 goal and keep up our work to win the progress so many are counting on.
In solidarity,

Ilhan Omar
