Team,
Just this week, Julián Castro ended his campaign -- yet another candidate of color who has left the race. As it stands right now, only five candidates have qualified for the January debate. And once again, we’re facing the prospect of an all-white debate stage.
During the last debate, we saw what it was like without Cory on that stage. Not nearly enough attention was paid to the challenges facing communities of color in this country. Cory’s voice was deeply missed.
We can’t let that happen again. If you want to see Cory on that stage, donate now so we’ll have the resources to boost our polling numbers and secure his spot in the debate.
We shouldn’t be the party that allows self-funding billionaires to buy their way onto the debate stage while experienced candidates of color are shut out. As Cory himself said, the field of candidates running for president had “more billionaires than Black people.”
Not to mention that there have been no qualifying early state polls since mid-November -- cutting off opportunities for campaigns like ours to demonstrate momentum and secure our spot on the stage.
The January debate is now less than two weeks away. We’re running out of time to meet the DNC’s polling threshold. Can Cory count on you to rush a donation right now?
It would be a loss for our party -- and our country -- if Cory wasn’t on that stage again.
