In just a moment, I am going to ask you to add a donation to our presidential campaign before next week’s debate. Please give me a quick moment to explain why this request is so important, especially today.

As you know, I’ve spent the last week of this campaign speaking out against Trump’s racist attacks -- all while trying to share with voters our vision and plans for a government that works for the people.

On top of that, I’m spending time preparing for the next Democratic debate in Detroit that’s coming up in 9 days.

It’s not leaving a lot of time for fundraising -- and according to our team, we’re behind where we need to be right now.

Your donations allow me to focus on preparing for the debate, campaigning across the country, and doing my job in Washington. So here’s the part where I ask you to pitch in today:

Can I count on you to make a contribution to help us reach our fundraising goals before next week’s debate?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

We need a nominee who is tough enough to take on Trump. He is defiling the office of the Presidency every single day and I am ready to take him on -- but we need to win this primary first.

Anything you can pitch in will go a long way toward helping us do that ahead of next week’s debate.

Thanks for all you do.

For The People,

— Kamala Harris
