I’m reaching out today to ask if you’ll pitch in a contribution to support our campaign for president, but first, can I take a moment to give an explanation? I know this may be weighing on your mind lately.

One week ago, we officially launched our All-in For Iowa Fund. It came on the heels of making some tough, but critical decisions to readjust our staff, resources, and strategy in order to compete hard in the Iowa caucuses. Since then, thousands of you have stepped up in a big way to power us forward.

I wanted to tell you why it’s so important that our team is planting deeper roots in Iowa. It’s complex but it boils down to momentum.

Iowa is the first state to hold caucuses in the country. This is the moment to see if our mission to spread our message is powerful enough to empower folks to transform our country for the people.

It’s not the polls or the pundits sharing their opinion on debate performance -- it’s what the Iowa caucus-goers decide that will lay the groundwork toward our Democratic nominee.

Our campaign needs to compete hard, outpace our opponents, and carry our momentum into the rest of the key early states and beyond. To do that, it will take reaching the 29% of undecided Iowa voters and more than half of the people who could change their mind before the caucuses begin.

It starts with two things: resources and you.

I’m counting on our people-powered movement to sustain our campaign today, tomorrow, and all the way to Iowa caucuses — even beyond. Will you please consider pitching in today and become a founding donor to the All-in For Iowa Fund?

The fight for justice isn’t new for me. It has been a fight I’ve taken on all of my life. And it was never easy -- nothing worth fighting for ever is. With justice on the ballot in this election, it’s never been more important for me to step up and fight for justice for the people.

It’s never been more important to have you by my side.

Thank you for your support -- today and every day.

For The People,

— Kamala
