Everything we've built together has been thanks to the support of grassroots donors. And everything we build in the year ahead will be, too.
When we launched our campaign one year ago today, I made the decision to build a movement that's powered by grassroots supporters — not wealthy donors waiting for special access before they write big checks.
One year into this campaign, you've never found me behind closed doors with corporate executives or spending hours on the phone sucking up to rich donors to fund my campaign.
One year into this campaign, and I'm still listening and learning from people across this nation. Moments of deep connection, or sometimes moments that echo heart-gripping fear and the hope our plans give them.
Everything we've built together has been thanks to the support of grassroots donors. And everything we build in the year ahead will be, too.
Tonight is the most important test for our grassroots movement yet, and we've set an important fundraising goal. So before tonight's midnight deadline, I'm asking:
We've set some pretty ambitious goals for this FEC deadline, but that's because our campaign is ambitious about the work that needs to get done in 2020 and beyond.
2020 is our chance to solve the big problems working people face each and every day — and in order to do so, we need big solutions. Solutions like student loan debt cancellation, universal child care, Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and more.
We have to grow this movement — one grassroots donor, one volunteer, and one voter at a time — to keep on the path to victory. And together, I know we will grow a strong movement that will root out corruption in Washington and put power in the hands of working people — where it belongs.
But winning in 2020 starts with the resources we raise before tonight's midnight deadline.
