I didn’t want you to start the day without hearing from me. First, I want to say thank you. I hope that I have said often enough how grateful I am for your support.

Yesterday we had to make some tough decisions to move forward -- decisions that would put us in a better position to win. We have a path forward, and we have to take it.

We have to spend less, double-down on our grassroots team, and raise more money to be in a position to win. And with your support, we will win. You can pitch in here to help »

There’s so much on the line in this election. It’s bigger than you, bigger than me, bigger than our campaign. This is about our collective fight for justice, for fairness, for equality, and for the voiceless. Ours is a fight for the people, and I’m honored to be in it alongside you.

I’m so proud of all that we have accomplished together. The work you’ve done has lifted up people’s voices and brought people together around our common values. We could not do any of this without you.

Now that we’re more than 10 months into this, I’m all about real talk -- so I’ll tell you the truth: with 18 candidates still in the race, it’s an incredibly tough environment for fundraising. We need to be on the debate stage in December to have our voices and our values represented -- but we need the resources to get there.

If you’re with us in this fight, I could really use your help now. Will you pitch in ahead of tonight’s end-of-month deadline?

Thank you for taking the time to read through my note this morning. I know we’re going to be able to prove the doubters and the pundits and TV talking heads wrong.

Honored to be with you in this fight.
