Hi John, Sudip here with Team Barbara Lee.

When most campaigns are up against a critical fundraising deadline like the one approaching tomorrow, they’ll tie up the candidate with hours of call time to solicit checks from corporate PACs and wealthy donors.

But that’s not Barbara’s plan.

She’s running a grassroots campaign because it’s important to her that the people she was elected to represent and her supporters have a seat at the table — not the wealthy and well-connected who can write the largest checks.

Our average donation is $25.52. Will you chip in that amount or more to help us surpass our grassroots fundraising goal before tomorrow’s deadline at midnight?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Chip In $10 now Chip In $25.52 now

Chip In $50 now Chip In $100 now

Chip In $250 now Another Amount

Emails like this one actually account for a vast majority of our grassroots fundraising.

Believe it or not, it’s $10 and $25 donations from folks like you reading our emails that allow us to keep reaching Democratic voters and expanding our movement.

FEC deadlines are the most stressful times of the year for finance directors like me who have to balance between internal projections and maintaining our budgets with the external pressures of a public-facing report.

But with this grassroots team behind us, I’m confident we will hit our goal. John, will you chip in $25.52 or whatever amount you can to help us close the gap to our critical fundraising goal?

Thank you!
