Team, last night Tom Steyer officially qualified for the January debate.
Once again, it’s looking like there will be more billionaires than Black people on the debate stage. And as it currently stands, there will be no candidates of color on stage. Not a single one.
We need Cory’s voice in this race now more than ever. Chip in to help power this campaign to the Iowa caucuses and beyond.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
The DNC’s debate thresholds have systematically paved the way for a billionaire to buy his way onto the stage while pushing out candidates of color from participating.
We pride ourselves on being the party of inclusion, yet time and time again our candidates of color are cutting their campaigns short because they don’t have the financial resources to continue on. We saw it with Kamala last month, and we saw it with Julián just last week.
As the only candidate who goes home to a low-income, majority-minority community in this race, Cory is running to represent the communities that are often disregarded, brushed aside, and overlooked.
It’s a disservice to communities like his and many across the nation that someone who understands the pain, the struggle, and the hardships that get swept under the rug during these debates won’t be heard yet again.
If you believe like we do that Cory should not be the next candidate of color to be pushed out of the conversation, that his voice is important in this race, donate today. This is the only way that we can compete.
We can do this, together.
