Here's the deal, friends: I’m fighting for the Build Back Better agenda because my job as a Congresswoman is to turn your calls for bold, lasting change into legislation that transforms lives and livelihoods for the better.

What my job is not, is to put the interests of corporations over those of working people and families.

I’m a refugee and a first-generation college student who has been burdened with student loan debt, worked as a cashier, and advocated on the local level as an organizer. I understand the needs of the people, because I have experienced what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck and without running water.

I work for you, which is why I will always answer to you — never corporate PACs.

But unlike so many politicians in our broken campaign finance system, I can’t (and won’t) just call up a corporate donor when our campaign is falling behind on a fundraising goal. With less than one day left, I’m reaching out to you, personally, because I know I can count on you to chip in toward our team’s end-of-quarter goal before our deadline expires and we make our fundraising numbers public.

So please, give any amount you can before midnight so we can reach our goal and continue our work to put people first:

Thank you.

In solidarity,
