I’m here in Ohio with my team — my wife Kat, my kids, a couple of our closest friends, and some of the hard-working people helping run this campaign. In a few hours, I’ll be on CNN debating the other Democratic candidates for the first time. I hope you’ll tune in to watch. 

Before I go up there, I want you to know one thing: This isn’t just about me. It’s about all of us. 

When I’m talking about my plans to break the pervasive corporate control of our government, I’m thinking about the family I met in Denmark, South Carolina, who doesn’t have clean drinking water because corporations have been getting away with polluting for too long. 

When I’m talking about how I plan to tackle the climate crisis, I’m thinking about the people I met at our climate justice town hall in Oakland, California, and the thoughtful conversations we had about how we’re going to stabilize the natural world together. 

When I’m talking about Mr. Trump’s dangerous presidency, I’m thinking of the more than 8 million Need to Impeach supporters who called for impeachment with me and who continue to fight for accountability in Washington. 

I draw a cross on the back of my hand every day to remind myself to tell the truth, and the most important truth to tell right now is that there is a serious consequence to staying silent in the face of adversity — and that consequence ripples throughout generations. 

I’m running for president to put power back in your hands, so we can welcome a brighter, more sustainable, equitable future for all. I’m excited you’re giving me the chance, and I’m glad to know you’ll be watching tonight.

See you soon,

Tom
