Dear John,
Are you tired of watching oligarchs in Congress fill the pockets of billionaires and robber barons?
Join us today to send a class warrior for the 99% to Congress!
In Washington, a Congress of millionaires has repeatedly prioritized targeted tax breaks for the wealthy, while freezing the federal minimum wage for over a decade.
Meanwhile, working families are struggling with a mounting economic crisis that has stretched beyond supply chain issues and now reached the stage of predicted food shortages. Having lost my childhood home to foreclosure as a teenager, and then struggled to fund my education (for which I'm still indebted to this day), I'm no stranger to struggle.
Are you tired of Washington ignoring predictions and running straight into brick walls over and over again? From climate chaos to public health, corporate Democrats continue to join their Republican allies in choosing to ignore science, disregard long overdue reforms—and force working Americans to pay the price.
Are you ready to remove the gatekeeper guarding for-profit healthcare and replace her with a new voice favoring human rights to basic human needs including housing, healthcare, and food?
Today, Americans are reeling from levels of medical debt never before seen in human history. It is the overlooked rot at the core of an already collapsing economy, and an empire all-too-willing to force its costs onto the most vulnerable.
In every industrialized country in the world—except the U.S.—people enjoy healthcare as a matter of right. Their systems differ, but the one thing none of them do is force patients and their families to endure lifetimes of medical debt.
When you’re sick, you should be able to focus on your health, and getting better.
But for too many Americans, falling ill forces worry—or worse—over making ends meet. It shouldn’t be a struggle to keep mouths fed, or a roof over your head, when you’re sick. In fact, it isn’t a struggle elsewhere.
Only here, in the richest country in the history of humanity, is medical debt the leading cause of homelessness. It’s a shame, a vicious cycle, and a clear reflection of bipartisan policy failure.
Ready for change? Join us today to force change on a system that concedes nothing without a demand!
In addition to fighting for universal healthcare free at the point of service, I’d also like to establish a human right to housing, and a new era of social housing to shift resources from the military-industrial complex to the most pressing needs confronting our communities.
As an immigrant challenging an oligarch to defend the future from the failures of the past, I’m painfully aware of how outgunned I am. That’s why I’m grateful for your support, and why we’re making every dollar stretch. As we close in on the critical FEC disclosure deadline at midnight EST on Thursday, your help has never been more crucial to our campaign!
Your voice,
Shahid
