Friends, we’ve overcome so many challenges together this year and accomplished so much thanks to the grassroots support of this movement. Before I ask you to chip in toward our critical end-of-year goal, let me share why your support matters so much.
At the beginning of the year, we kicked off our organizing efforts with a bold goal of knocking on every single door in Minnesota’s Fifth District this cycle — talking to voters about Medicare for All and local candidates to build progressive power at every level of government. Now, we’re building a team to get out the vote as we start the election year.
And day in and day out, this movement has supported me as I’ve fought to secure the bold, progressive change that meets the moment we’re in.
We passed emergency relief through the American Rescue Plan, supporting families with the expanded Child Tax Credit, increasing unemployment benefits, providing nutrition and rental assistance, and helping more people get vaccinated and tested.
We built on that progress by passing the Build Back Better Act to better lives and livelihoods in this moment and for generations to come — with measures including paid family and medical leave, lower costs for prescription drugs and child care, Medicare expansion, bold climate action, green jobs, universal pre-K, and more.
I fought hard as Whip of the Progressive Caucus to make sure this bill truly met the needs of people in my district and across the country.
In the coming weeks and months, I’m going to fight like hell to push the Senate to get the Build Back Better Act across the finish line and hold Democrats accountable to delivering on our promises to the American people — from canceling student debt to strengthening voting rights.
But I can’t do it all alone — it will take a movement to keep up our organizing efforts, pass more people-first policies, and defeat my opponents in what’s bound to be an expensive race. And we need to stay on track in our fundraising to make all that happen.
So, here’s that ask I promised you: Can you pitch in any amount toward our end-of-year goal to power our movement’s work for progress? I don’t take a penny from the corporate PACs that block our progress, so I mean it when I say this movement counts on you.
