I just walked off the Democratic National Committee’s presidential primary debate stage. 

You know, there are moments on the campaign trail when I’m acutely reminded why we need someone from outside Washington in the White House. Tonight, standing up on that stage talking about the shameful stranglehold that corporations have on our democracy and the lives of hard-working Americans, was one of those moments — and a very public reminder that the establishment has been unwilling or unable to address our most serious challenges. 

Too many people feel like their government has tossed them by the wayside. The sad truth, the truth that I am determined to tell, is that they’re right.

Our democracy has been victim to a hostile takeover by big, wealthy corporations that are rigging the system to put their CEOs and shareholders above real people. Whether it’s Big Pharma profiting off the opioid crisis while skirting accountability for the harm they’re inflicting or the National Rifle Association furthering the public health epidemic that is gun violence — corporations and lobbyists have a stranglehold on our government.

I won’t accept that. We can’t accept that. So I’m running — and I’m glad you’re with me in this fight. If you’re ready to keep going, will you make a $1 investment in this movement tonight? Your support is a critical part of this campaign’s momentum.

Our country is at a crossroads. We have a lawless president who is working for corporations and cozying up to dictators — at the expense of the American people. I know that the only way to take on this corruption is through the grassroots. That’s why this campaign works to reach people across the country day in and day out. It’s hard work, but this moment is too important to take the easy path. 

I hope you’ll pitch in to my campaign tonight — and wake up tomorrow ready to tackle this hard work together. I know I will. [link removed]

I couldn’t be more grateful to have your support,
