This is serious, John: I just launched my campaign for Senate two weeks ago and already FOX News and MAGA extremists are running a smear campaign to defeat me.

Here's the truth: Republicans know that I’ve never been afraid to speak out for what I believe is right – like when I stood alone to say no to endless wars in 2001.
 

Now, conservative news outlets like Fox News are attacking me for seeking justice for Black and brown people.

I’ve spent my entire career fighting my heart out to advance our shared values and enact our progressive agenda, and in the Senate, I will continue to do just that.

I'll never stop fighting for what I believe is right, John, but I need your help today to send a message to FOX News and GOP extremists that we are not backing down – no matter what.

Building up our resources right now is critical to fighting back against these MAGA attacks, but right now I’m falling $1,832 short of my rapid-response goal with just hours to make up the difference.

If we are going to make history by sending a Black woman to the Senate for just the third time in our nation's history, we can't let these attacks go unanswered, so please: Will you donate $5 or more right now to help me fight back, win in California and secure a progressive future for all of us?

Thank you for your commitment to our fight.
