John,
We're facing an end-of-month deadline at midnight on Sunday night, and we want to explain why we're asking for your donation right now.
We're up against a far-right movement and a radical Supreme Court that's trying to take away human rights like the right to have an abortion, the right to have clean air, and our freedom to vote. Asking for your small-dollar donation may seem like too little right now, but reelecting Jamaal is the only way we will be able to keep a progressive bloc in our House of Representatives to fight back against these attacks.
Together, we can channel our outrage into action and make sure we have the votes needed to push back against the far-right. That's why we're asking for a huge favor — can you make a contribution right now to help power our reelection effort?
Already, we're seeing how important it is to keep organizing our progressive movement. President Biden was reluctant to take action after SCOTUS overturned Roe v Wade, but after immense public pressure, he came out in favor of getting rid of the filibuster in the Senate to codify Roe as the law. We kept up the pressure on gun laws, on funding to fight climate change, and on fixing problems with Medicare, and it looks like we may overcome opposition and get them all done.
We have to do more — but we can only achieve anything by protecting and expanding the power of progressives within the Democratic party. Without that, we're stuck with a complacent establishment and more inaction.
In our campaign, we're facing establishment-backed opponents who will be another roadblock to aggressive action against this extremist Supreme Court. So we're asking if you can chip in whatever you can to help our movement win reelection and keep Jamaal in the fight.
Reaching this $20,000 goal will ensure that we can defeat our establishment opponent and fight like hell to defend our rights. The stakes could not be higher.
If we successfully expand our Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate and protect Jamaal's seat here in NY-16 we can finally kill the filibuster. That means Congress can then finally codify the right to an abortion, as well as the other rights the Supreme Court is coming after, like right to contraception and the right to gay marriage.
It's a tough fight, but we know what we have to do — now we just have to do it. If you can make a contribution before our July 31 it will help Jamaal do that work.
Thank you for your support,
Team Bowman
