We need progressive, people-first voices in Congress, team.

That’s why I ran for Congress in the first place — we simply don’t have enough leaders who are willing to put people over corporate profit. We don’t have enough representatives who know what it’s like to be burdened with student loan debt, go without running water, or have a working-class job. But I do.

We need more leaders who deeply understand the struggles of their communities and how to fix them, and that’s why I’m here — fighting every single day to pass legislation that guarantees healthcare, provides universal school meals, cancels student debt, and puts human rights at the forefront of immigration and refugee policy.

And the bottom line is that I can’t genuinely fight for those things if I accept donations from the very corporations working to stop them — so I don’t take a penny from corporate PACs, and I never will.

That means our campaign relies on grassroots donors like you chipping in $5, $10, and $25 at a time to reach our monthly goals and build a strong campaign, which is why I’m reaching out today:

Can you make sure we reach our January fundraising goal by donating any amount? It’s crucial we meet our end-of-month target before the deadline expires so we can get people out to local caucuses and the ballot box, fight back against those threatened by our progress, and continue our people-first work.

Thanks for all you do for our movement.

In solidarity,
