The night before the 2008 Iowa caucuses, I went to a senior home in Des
Moines and I started knocking on doors, reminding folks to head out and
caucus.

At one of the apartment units, a petite Black woman in her 80’s opened the
door just wide enough for me to ask her if she would caucus for Barack
Obama. She looked at me with a straight face and said, "They're not gonna
let him win."

As I looked back at her, I thought about what her life had required her to
endure and witness. All the injustices she had experienced. All of the
indignities. And that night, she was holding on to her dignity. She was
not about to endure another disappointment.

I stayed and talked with her, she talked more with me. Inch by inch, as
the door opened wider, she opened up to the idea of hope.

She wanted to believe in change, but more importantly, she believed in
herself. She wanted to believe in what could be, unburdened by what had
been.

And guess who showed up in Barack Obama’s corner the next night at the
caucus?

But I want to be clear:
this isn’t 2008. The stakes are even higher now that Donald Trump is in
office.

We are in a fight for the soul of our country. I need to know right now if
you’re in it with me.

The journey to 2020 is long and we’ve still got work to do, but our chance
to capture the momentum we have after Wednesday’s debate is closing. I’m
asking today if you’ll pitch in a
contribution to power our historic campaign forward:

I walked off the debate stage more energized by our task ahead. I fully
intend to fight -- and win. And I’ve never been more grateful to have you with me.

For The People,
