Friend,
It's official. I won't be on the January debate stage. But this is about a whole lot more than just me.
Of all of the people who’ve qualified for the next Democratic debate stage, not one is a person of color. For a party as diverse as ours, in an election where communities of color will decide the outcome, that’s wrong.
I don’t doubt that the rules our party set were well-intentioned, but the outcomes are undeniable: These thresholds have effectively kept people of color from the national stage.
Meanwhile, the billionaires in this race have been able to spend literally hundreds of millions on ads. This shouldn’t be about who has the most money.
That’s why I’m asking for your donation right now, to make sure we can get our campaign’s message out to more people -- at the critical moments when voters are making up their minds.
Thanks,
Cory
