I grew up with a grandmother who had come from México when she was seven years old. She was an orphan. She lost her parents and she worked as a maid, a cook, and a babysitter for her whole life. She raised my mom as a single parent, and my mom raised me and my brother as a single parent.

I think in our community people have had to deal with a lot more challenges than running for president;

and we've been determined,
and we've been persistent,
and we’ve stuck it through,
and we’ve kept going,
and we haven't quit,
and we’ve kept pushing and trying to change things.

And that's what I'm going to do. I won’t quit. We're going through, working to get to Iowa and building strength.

There are 10 weeks left until the Iowa caucus, and these days, ten weeks is ten lifetimes in politics.

Now, the DNC set these debate thresholds in place. Those are the rules that we’re operating under in this race. And of course, I'm going to operate under these rules.

But, it's wrong that people should be able to buy their way onto the stage.

Chip in now to keep us building strong and show that we won’t quit:

No one like Julián Castro has ever been in the Oval Office. His grandmother immigrated here from Mexico when she was just 7 years old. She never got past the 4th grade, but she provided for her family by working as a maid and a housekeeper.

Now, her grandson is running for President of the United States. Against all odds, grassroots Democrats like YOU helped him qualify for the Democratic debates and sent him to the front of the pack of Democratic candidates.

We know we send you a lot of emails, but that’s because we’re relying on grassroots supporters to overcome our next big challenge:

Julián must be able to compete and build a movement that lasts for the long haul, and he’s not taking a cent of corporate PAC money to do it. Will you be a part of this historic campaign?
