I wanted to make sure you heard directly from me.
 
If I can’t raise $800,000 in the next 10 days -- I will have no choice but to end my race for President.
 
 
This isn’t a fundraising gimmick -- it’s the transparency and honesty I have promised you since I entered this race. 
 
The truth is, for our campaign, these debates have offered our only guaranteed opportunity to share my vision with the American people. If I can’t make the next debate stage, we cannot sustain a campaign that can make it to Iowa in February.
 
My presidential campaign is in dire need of financial resources to keep going.   
 
According to the Washington Post, a qualifying poll is coming out every two days. So I’m asking for the money we need to qualify for the debate with enough time left to actually meet the deadline. 
 
 
All the progress we’ve made is in serious jeopardy.
 
I started this campaign on a shoestring budget in the neighborhood I grew up in. 
 
I didn’t grow up a frontrunner. 
 
I didn’t have personal wealth to pump into this race. 
 
And we’ve built this campaign without a cent from super PACS or billionaires. 
 
I’ve spent every second in this race fighting for folks who have struggled like I did.
 
Now, I’m asking you to fight for me. 
 
Can I count on your immediate $5 by midnight to keep my campaign running?
 
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
 
 
For everyone who feels like their voice has been discounted and cast aside.
 
Every child wondering why no President has ever looked like them. 
 
Every parent struggling to lift their family out of poverty. 
 
I want you to know: You have a home here with our movement -- you are who I’m fighting for. 
 
 
I’ve spent this campaign working to be a champion for the underrepresented. 
 
We've led boldly with plans on police reform, gun violence, boosting our public schools, and crafting humane immigration policies. 
 
So when I ask you to help me in the next 10 days, it’s not about me. 
 
It’s about every single person who needs a champion fighting for them. 
 
 
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?
