Friends -

I am writing to ask you to make a $5 contribution to
Mandela Barnes' campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin and the DSCC. I
hope you will give me a moment to explain why your contribution is so
important to his campaign.

Mandela is running to defeat Republican incumbent Ron Johnson, one of
the most reactionary and self-serving members of the U.S. Senate. A
recent Marquette poll shows Mandela down by one point, and he is up
against some very powerful special interests who are spending obscene
amounts of money to try to defeat him.

So Mandela needs your help, especially before his FEC fundraising
deadline at the end of this month.

Ron Johnson is someone who relies on corporate interests to fund his
campaign. But Mandela is funding his campaign the right way – from lots
of people making small donations.

That is the only way he is going to have the resources to win this race,
and that is why I need to ask:

[ [link removed] ]Can you please split a $5 contribution between Mandela
Barnes' campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin and the DSCC? As long as
we are in this together, we are going to send Mandela to the Senate and
expand the majority.

If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will be
processed immediately and split between Mandela Barnes and the DSCC.

At this moment in American history — in the midst of massive income and
wealth inequality, a global pandemic, and the existential threat of
climate change — it has never been more important to elect candidates
like Mandela who will fight for the working class of this country.

We need to elect more candidates who will take on corporate greed,
authoritarianism, and bigotry and who are prepared to fight for justice.
In order to do that, we must bring our people together in a
multi-generational, multi-racial movement to take on the big-money
interests that have so much political and economic power in our country.

Mandela Barnes is building that kind of movement through his campaign in
Wisconsin. And if he wins in November, he will continue our struggle for
justice in the U.S. Senate.

First, we need to come together to defeat a Republican extremist who
denies the reality of climate change, participated in a scheme to
overturn the 2020 election results, and has repeatedly sided with
corporate interests at the expense of working people.

But this Wisconsin Senate race isn't just about replacing Ron Johnson.
It's also about expanding the Senate majority so we can finally have the
votes to pass meaningful legislation to address the many crises we face.

Mandela Barnes is in a very close race right now, and he is relying on
grassroots support in order to fund his campaign between now and
Election Day. So I am asking you one more time:

[ [link removed] ]Please split a $5 contribution between Mandela Barnes'
campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin and the DSCC. He is rejecting all
corporate PAC money, and your contribution today will ensure he and the
DSCC have the financial resources to flip this seat and defend the
Senate.

We are engaged in many struggles right now. We are trying to save the
planet from the ravages of climate change. We're trying to create an
economy that works for all and not just the billionaire class. We're
trying to defend our democracy against those who are moving us toward
authoritarianism. And that's just to name a few.

But, in the midst of all these struggles, we cannot simply remain on the
defensive. We need to continue building our movement to transform this
country.

That means standing with candidates like Mandela Barnes who will take on
powerful special interests. Thank you for supporting his campaign and
the DSCC today.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders
