On a typical presidential campaign, the candidate spends the days leading up to and after the debate doing "call time" — also known as calling wealthy donors and asking for money.

Not me.

I don't host any closed-door fundraisers with the wealthiest donors. I don't spend time on the phone telling them what they want to hear.

When I get on the phone this week, it won't be with bigwig donors waiting for a personal call before writing a huge check. It will be with supporters who chipped in $5, $15, or $50 to raise their hands and say "I'm ready to own a piece of this fight."

Because that's what our movement is all about.

If you can, chip in for the first time today and keep an eye on your phone — if you get a call from an unknown number, if might be me!

Our democracy is not for sale and neither is my time — every supporter gets equal access and owns an equal piece of our movement.

We're going to build a grassroots movement that's strong enough to make big, structural change in our economy, our government, and our democracy.

I believe in our power together. That's why I'd rather spend my time on the phone with donors like you — not the wealthy and well-connected, who have had special access to elected officials for far too long.

Soon, I'll be making calls again — thanking a few of the grassroots donors who give what they can, whether it's $5, $15, or $50.

So if you can chip in whatever makes sense for you, keep an eye on your phone. If you get a call from an unknown number, pick up — it might be me!

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
