In 30 seconds, I’m going to ask you to give $5. But first, let me explain why.

On my first day of sixth grade, a school official told us --
 
“Look around. Chances are that half of you won't be here when it's time to graduate from the eighth grade."

The next morning my mom announced we’d attend a different school. She had higher aspirations for us.

I know what it’s like to grow up in an immigrant family in an underserved neighborhood.

I know what it’s like to be told you’ll fail -- that you might not even make it past middle school.

I know what it’s like to believe you could never be President -- and that’s exactly what qualifies me to be President.

And at this week's debate, I stood up for folks who face the same adversity I’ve faced.

I hope I made you proud -- and I’m asking you to pitch in $5 before midnight to keep me in this race and make history. I need 549 gifts before midnight.

I’m proud of our campaign because we’re standing up for folks who have faced adversity.
 
My People First Immigration Plan ends the policy that allows kids to be separated from their families.
 
My People First Policing Plan ends over-aggressive policing and holds police accountable.
 
My People First Education Plan would help every child get a quality education -- so no kid will be set up to fail.
 
I’m standing up for people who face tough odds in life -- and I need your help to beat the odds in one of the most crowded fields in history.
 
 
Thank you,
 
Julián

No one like Julián Castro has ever been in the Oval Office. His grandmother immigrated here from Mexico when she was just 7 years old. She never got past the 4th grade, but she provided for her family by working as a maid and a housekeeper.

Now, her grandson is running for President of the United States. Against all odds, grassroots Democrats like YOU helped him qualify for the Democratic debates and sent him to the front of the pack of Democratic candidates.

We know we send you a lot of emails, but that’s because we’re relying on grassroots supporters to overcome our next big challenge:

Julián must be able to compete and build a movement that lasts for the long haul, and he’s not taking a cent of corporate PAC money to do it. Will you be a part of this historic campaign?
