Traditionally, campaigns wait until after mandatory FEC reporting deadlines to announce how much they’ve raised. But you need to know exactly where things stand — and why it’s so important you chip in.

As of this morning, we’ve raised a little over $17 million this quarter.

That’s $3.5 million less this quarter compared to the same point last quarter. And at the current pace, we’ll end up raising around $5 million less this quarter by the time the final FEC deadline comes around on December 31. We’re behind.

It will be nearly impossible to match last quarter at this point. But we need to start closing the gap as quickly as possible.

So Elizabeth Warren needs your help. Please chip in $2 or whatever you can to help close the fundraising gap and ensure she has the resources to continue building this campaign at the most critical point before the primaries and caucuses start.

Elizabeth Warren is running an unprecedented campaign against the role of big money in the political process that relies on grassroots donations coming from people like you. And the majority of donations to her campaign come from emails like this one.

We're now in a period where time and resources are of the essence. Voters will be heading to the polls and caucuses soon.

When you chip in today, you’ll help provide resources to bring Elizabeth's message — the same message that inspired you — to voters far and wide: on the airwaves, through one-on-one conversations with organizers, online, and at in-person events.

But if the numbers don’t pick up, we run the risk of having to pull back plans to organize in all 50 states during the primary. And that plan is central to winning.

Elizabeth Warren doesn’t have wealthy donors in high-rise penthouses (or wine caves) or outside super PACs coming to save the day. She made the decision that those are not the voices that should decide the Democratic nominee.

Instead, she has nearly one million dedicated grassroots donors (you should join them!), and she wouldn’t want it any other way.

If there were ever a time for every grassroots supporter to step up, it’s now.

Please contribute $2 or whatever you can to help close the fundraising gap and keep the campaign’s plans on track.

Thanks,

Team Warren
