Hey, it's Ilhan.

In just a moment, I'm going to ask you to make a donation — of $5 or anything you can. But first, let me tell you why that donation is so important to the success of our campaign.

At the end of this month, we're legally required by the FEC to report how much money we've raised so far, and how many contributions make up that amount.

Once this fundraising deadline ends, all that info will be publicly available for all to see, and you can be sure that everyone — our allies, our opponents, and the media — will be watching

They'll be looking to see if our momentum has slowed down, or if we have the grassroots power to continue our fight for justice.

You and I both know the answer to that question — but it's so important that we send an unmistakable message about our movement's collective strength.

All eyes are on us. And because our campaign is funded by lots and lots of people chipping in small amounts, I have to ask:

Can you make a contribution — of $5 or anything you can — so we can report the strongest numbers possible ahead of this month's official FEC fundraising deadline?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thanks in advance. It means so much to know that we can count on this team at times like this.

In solidarity,

Ilhan Omar
