Team,
Did you see this note? The DNC's debate thresholds are having the effect of blocking candidates of color from the debate stage. But that's not going to stop Cory from speaking out about the important issues in this election.
If you believe that Cory should've been one of the candidates on the January debate stage, please chip in here. We need his voice in this race.

Even though he won't be on the debate stage, he's still going to keep sharing his vision to repair the damage Trump has done and make justice and opportunity real for every American.

---FORWARDED MESSAGE---
Team,
Today is the deadline to qualify for the DNC's January debate. Once again, it's looking like we're going to see a debate stage next week that doesn't reflect the true diversity of our party.
I know I've written to you about this topic a few times now -- and it pains me to have to do so. But, it is deeply problematic that a Democratic primary field that started as the most diverse in history will almost certainly feature no candidates of color in the next debate. This lack of diversity doesn't represent the ideals of our party -- and it doesn't represent the ideals of our country.
The DNC's debate thresholds have had the effect of cutting off access to the debate stage for candidates of color who deserve to be heard in this election. There have barely been any polls in the field that would allow a campaign like ours to demonstrate momentum and qualify for the debate.
I'm going to keep speaking out about this and forcing our party to have the difficult discussions we need to be having. If you're with me, please chip in.

At the December debate, it was clear that not nearly enough attention was devoted to the challenges facing communities of color. We can't let these important issues be left out of the conversation.
I plan to keep fighting and making my case directly to voters and caucus-goers in the early states. I'd be grateful if you can chip in now to help us do it.
I'm in this race to win -- because I believe that I can unite the diverse coalition we'll need to defeat Donald Trump this November.
Together, we will rise.
Cory
