Hi there,

I know you’re hearing from many members of our team about the 50,000 donations we’re trying to raise before tomorrow night. Now it’s my turn to make a pitch.

I’ve been working to elect Democrats for nearly 20 years and I have never been a part of a campaign like this. If we -- all of us, including you -- dig in and give it everything we’ve got, we have a chance to win this nomination. It’s not out of reach. But it is going to be very challenging.

Raising two million contributions before the end of the year is an enormous task -- and it will help us fund critical programs we need to win in the early states and beyond. That’s why I’m asking if you’ll make a contribution right now.

Hitting this donation goal will send the message that we’ve got a grassroots team that can do anything we set our minds to. It symbolizes countless people standing behind Pete’s fresh vision for our country. And it provides resources needed to run a competitive, won’t-back-down operation that can win the primary and defeat Donald Trump.

I know that some of our top competitors have more contributions than we do. That is okay. But we do have to catch up.

I’ve been a part of many winning campaigns. Pete’s got what it takes, but there’s much more we have to do. In past campaigns, the team with the best organization won. As one of Pete’s senior advisors, I’m working to build it, but I need you -- Pete needs you -- before we run out of time.

Because the truth is that our country is at a crisis point, and we need to walk away from small ideas and the same conversations that have failed us in the past.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make a contribution, this is it. Your donation will power the work we’re doing on the ground in the early states. And it will allow us to keep up our paid media programs and extend our organization into the marathon states. Chip in now to make sure we can sustain our momentum.

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: CHIP IN $3 CHIP IN $10 CHIP IN $25 CHIP IN $100 CHIP IN $250 OTHER

I am so proud to be on this team and I am so proud to have you with us.
