We’re a week into the fourth quarter, team. Cory is in Iowa right now wrapping up a trip that has taken him all over the Hawkeye State. Only 117 days before the Iowa caucuses kick off and our team on the ground is organizing every corner of the state.

We’re also hard at work in debate prep sessions with Cory to get him ready for the fourth DNC Democratic debate next Tuesday, October 15th at 8 p.m. ET. You can catch it on CNN or The New York Times website.

Here’s your weekly roundup:

Help us reach our October goal.
$3 million. That’s how much we need to raise this month to make sure we have the resources to win. It’s so important that we keep up our fundraising efforts. It’s the reality of running a presidential campaign. We have to be able to compete with the other candidates who are outraising us. Donate here to help us hit our goal.

Read Cory’s plan to reduce child poverty.
Last week, Cory released a major plan to address child poverty, an issue that hasn’t received nearly as much attention as it deserves. His plan calls for creating a “child allowance” for families with kids, eliminating child hunger by increasing the maximum SNAP benefit, and supporting low-income working families through affordable child care -- among other critical components. Cory believes that we have a moral responsibility to look after each other and make sure that every child has the opportunity to grow and thrive. Read his plan.

Your chance to get dinner with Cory.
We have a really exciting contest happening now. A few lucky supporters from across the country will get to join Cory for a team dinner. You could be one of them! As you may know, Cory is a huge Trekkie, lover of all Marvel movies, and a leading member of Congress on issues like gun violence reform. These are all things that would be great to ask him about over dinner. If you haven’t entered the contest yet, there’s still time! All you have to do to be automatically entered is chip in here.

Take our debate survey.
Next Tuesday is the big night. Cory will be back on the debate stage with 11 other candidates in what will be the most crowded debate yet. As we’re preparing Cory for the debate, we want your feedback to help him excel on that stage. Share your thoughts with Cory by completing our debate survey.

Check out photos from the road.
As you can imagine, Cory has had a very busy schedule lately that has taken him to events all over the country. Our photographer, Kevin, is always there to capture the moment wherever Cory goes. Here are some of Kevin’s best shots from the past few days. Feel free to share them on social media!
