Re: We've had the biggest day of this campaign so far.

Team, did you see my note? Yesterday was the biggest grassroots fundraising day of this campaign -- twice as big as the day we launched the campaign! This just goes to show that when people hear our campaign’s message, they’re ready to come together to work toward our common vision for…

Claim your "Future President" sticker

Team, were you watching the debate the other night? Cory absolutely crushed it. The New York Times said he was “best-in-class” -- and apparently Vice President Joe Biden agreed?! One of the most memorable moments of the night was when Joe Biden called Cory the “future president.” I k…

We've had the biggest day of this campaign so far.

Team, exciting news: Since the debate began last night, we've already had the biggest fundraising day of this campaign since launch. Can you help us finish out the day as strong as possible by chipping in whatever you can? Every little bit helps us keep up the momentum from last night…

Don't take it from me

Team -- Vice President Biden summed last night up best: “Future President Cory Booker.” Cory proved he belongs up there among the frontrunners -- if you agree, now’s the time to chip in to build this campaign. But seriously, don’t take it from us. We pulled together a smattering of r…

I'm still in awe

Friend, I wake up every day knowing that I couldn’t do any of this alone. Today, that feeling is stronger than ever. I put my all into last night’s debate -- I hope you’re proud of the way I represented this team. But from here on out, this race enters a new era. The DNC’s rules limi…

I'm just leaving the stage here in Detroit

Tonight, I spoke from the heart. I’m just leaving the stage here in Detroit, team. Tonight, I spoke from the heart about why Democrats have a once-in-a-generation opportunity in this election. This isn’t solely about beating Donald Trump -- that has to be the floor of what we can do, no…

"The person enjoying this debate the most is Donald Trump."

Team, I'm backstage at the DNC Detroit debate right now and I thought it'd be a good time to check in. Cory’s made it clear tonight: "The person enjoying this debate the most is Donald Trump. As we pick each other apart, the Republicans are trying to gut Obamacare." Again and again, Donald Tru…

Really quick before I take the stage

I'm ready to be out on that debate stage and give it my all tonight

Friend, I hopped out of bed this morning so fired up that I almost didn’t need a cup of coffee. Almost. I'm ready to be out on that debate stage and give it my all tonight. And it's because of people like you that I'll have the chance to do that. It’s incredibly humbling to know that…

Our average donation last week was only $15.11!

Hey there,  It’s Catherine, Cory’s Online Fundraising Director, here with an online donor update.  This past week was a really great one for our team. We were super excited when we hit our goal of 130,000 (!!) individual donors yesterday. Better yet, we did it one $15.11 average onlin…

$15.11

Friend, we have good news and bad news -- so we’ll lead with the good: Yesterday we hit the 130,000 donor threshold to guarantee Cory’s spot in the fall debates -- and with an average contribution of only $15.11. But, we need your help to keep up the momentum. We’re $34,813 away from …

We're falling short.

Friend, I know you’re probably getting a lot of emails right now. And I know you can’t chip in every time we ask. So I want you to know when your donation can make the biggest impact -- and this is one of those moments. I’m spending a lot of energy getting ready for the debate tomorro…

Dancing is totally necessary right now.

Team, Let’s all just stop for a minute and reflect on what reaching the DNC donor threshold means for our campaign.  After this week, the fall debate lineup is expected to be cut in half -- and people like you just guaranteed Cory is the seventh to make the cut. That means it’s offici…

Each of those 130,000 donations represents a person who put their faith in me and our grassroots campaign.

I’ve got a huge smile on my face right now, team. Last night we hit the 130,000 donor threshold! That’s incredible for a couple of reasons. Now it’s official: When I take the stage on Wednesday, I know I'll be one of the candidates moving on to the next round of debates in September. A…

Hey team, I’m about to turn in for the night but just wanted to touch base with you before our big deadline tomorrow. We’re fewer than 106 donors away from our goal of 130,000. Team, I know we can do this tonight. If you rush a donation ASAP, we can still meet our goal by the time I start …

Hey, team. Passing on this exciting update: we’re only 683 donors away from hitting 130,000 individual donors. (See below -- Jenna, our Deputy Campaign Manager, just sent an update.) Achieving this goal is huge for our campaign and I think we can do it in the next 24 hours. This grassroots c…

Hey team, I’ll keep this short. My finance director just told me we’re less than 1,000 donors away from reaching our 130,000 donor goal to guarantee my spot in the fall debates. With these numbers, she thinks we’re going to hit it tomorrow. But I think we can hit it by tonight. Will y…

We've almost reached the 130,000 donor threshold

Friend, Shortly after we launched this campaign for president, the DNC announced that it was setting a threshold of 65,000 individual donors to reach the debate stage. This grassroots team showed up and made sure we made it. Then the DNC doubled the threshold -- to qualify for the Se…

Donald Trump's racist attack

Friend,  The words Donald Trump chose to use this past week were purposefully racist. He invoked a centuries-old weapon to send a message to all people of color: Your identity does not belong to you, your history does not belong to you, your body does not belong to you. It’s not the f…

If you don't see the very real connection between Trump's words and his policies, you're not paying attention.
