I can't believe we're already in December. These last few months have flown by—talking to voters and telling them about our plan for NY-16 and America has been an honor. 

But, the truth is: these last few months have been leading up to December. December 31st will be the most important fundraising deadline of this campaign. Our fundraising numbers will get picked apart by the media and our opponents, and we need to show our strength.

We need to prove to the establishment, to special interests, and to the country that our movement for progressive change is real. We CAN end the school to prison pipeline, we CAN pass a Green New Deal, and we CAN be progressive without equivocating.

How do I know? I've seen it in action. I've seen dozens of volunteers mobilize and talk to voters, and it works. Our message speaks to the experiences and concerns of real, working-class people.

This campaign is nothing without the grassroots, and our community. Together, I know that we can change NY-16 for the better.

In solidarity,

Jamaal Bowman
