Team,

I’m reaching out to you today because you’ve shown your support for my campaign in the past. My team appreciates your willingness to be a part of our mission.

Let me remind you why I’m running for mayor.

Our city is experiencing several crises. The public health, public safety, and economic crisis of homelessness has evolved into a full-blown humanitarian emergency. 40,000 people sleep on the streets of L.A. every night – more than in any other city in the nation.

I’m running because I know that tackling homelessness means developing a comprehensive approach that addresses the immediate crisis along with the root causes: lack of affordable housing, health care, access to job opportunities, and residential alcohol and drug treatment.

I’m confident Los Angeles can be a city where everyone can access quality health care. Los Angeles can be a city where its economy — one of the world's most robust, intricate, and complex economies — can work for everyone. Los Angeles can be a city where everyone can afford housing, where everyone can earn livable wages, and where services and resources are provided to help get folks who may have stumbled back on their feet.

As a daughter of this city, I am 100% invested in its success. I have the experience, and I have the determination to make real, lasting change. With your help, we can make this dream a reality.

With our end-of-month deadline tomorrow, I'm asking for your support so we can reach our $25,000 July fundraising goal.

Will you make your FIRST donation of the general election by chipping in $5, or whatever you can, to support my campaign for Mayor of L.A.? Any amount helps us reach our goals and expand our outreach efforts.

Thank you for your time,

Karen
