Hello John,
My father came to the U.S. in the early 60s working under the Bracero program. He sent back what little money he had to my mother, my three siblings, and I at our home in Los Pinos, a small village in the Mexican state of Durango. I often think of his sacrifice, the years he spent alone, away from his family, and the life that he was able to give to our family because of his sacrifice and hard work.
And it is the deep gratitude and the sense of purpose my father instilled in me that call me to fight for my own children, my grandchildren, and the world that we will leave behind for generations yet to come.
Record setting temperatures, once-a-century storms becoming once-a-year storms, millions of displaced peoples around the world, water scarcity, droughts and wildfires -- this all is just the tip of the iceberg of our ongoing climate crisis. But I'm fighting back to do something about it.
That's why I've joined progressive House leaders like AOC to fight for a Green New Deal. If you're ready to fight for a better planet for our children, our grandchildren, and everyone who comes after us, then I need you in this worthy fight with me.
Fighting worthy fights makes a lot of people nervous -- especially Big Oil corporations that benefit from inaction on climate legislation. And they're already pouring MILLIONS into misinformation campaigns, proposing half-measures, and buying up corrupt politicians to make sure nothing ever gets done.

John, the urgency of this unprecedented moment in our planet's history requires all of us to be on board, and together we will avert climate catastrophe.
Thank you so much for joining me in this fight. Together we can take on the big fights, and together we can win.
Gracias,
Chuy

P.S. Our movement relies on our united grassroots army. Without nationwide support, our fight to avert a climate disaster, create millions of green jobs, and make America a global leader on climate action will be ignored by complacent Democrats and corrupt Republicans. So we're counting on your support and hoping you'll join our fight with a donation of $5, $10, $25, or whatever you can today.
