Tomorrow, we'll hit the next fundraising deadline. Whether or not we reach our targets will make a real difference in the types of investments we can make going forward.
Our campaign is facing a powerfully important test.
Tomorrow, we'll hit the next fundraising deadline. Whether or not we reach our targets will make a real difference in the types of investments we can make going forward.
The pressure is on. Our campaign is working hard to hit our ambitious goal for this month. But here's what you're not going to see me do:
You won't see me holding any fundraisers where only the wealthy can get in by writing a big check.
You won't see me chatting up any billionaires, asking them to fund a Super PAC.
And you definitely won't see me taking a dime from federally registered lobbyists, corporate PACs, or PACs of any kind — because our campaign is about people, not powerful special interests.
There's only one way we're raising money on this campaign, and it's with grassroots donors like you. We're building a movement to fight for working people and we're making sure we answer only to working people.
And we know that we need big, structural change to solve those problems.
We need to get organized — person to person, face to face — by investing in grassroots, on-the-ground community-building across the country. And we need to lay out big plans to solve real problems.
That's the only way to win in 2020, and we've gotten started. But, we need real resources to keep growing our movement. And right now, we're not where we need to be.
Before the deadline tomorrow, we need to get our fundraising numbers in the best place possible.
