Rachel Maddow called Cory a "leading presidential candidate"

Team -- Did you see Cory on Rachel Maddow earlier this week? She called him a “leading presidential candidate.” This grassroots team guaranteed Cory’s spot on the first two debate stages. And thanks to all of you, he will be on the stage in September as well. You don’t need us to t…

We did it.

Friend, I woke up to some fantastic news. Late last night, we hit our mid-month fundraising goal -- and I can’t thank you enough for helping us get there. Once again, our team met an ambitious goal. It’s a real testament to the strength of this grassroots community. As candidates lik…

re: We didn't make it, team

I know it’s getting late, but we’re so close to reaching our mid-month goal. My team tells me we’re less than $5,000 away. With only a few hours left, I need your help if we want to stay on track. We’ve already missed our goal once this month -- can you make sure we don’t miss it again…

It's time to confront hate crimes and white supremacist violence.

August 5, 2012, a white supremacist murdered six members of the Sikh community at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. June 17, 2015, a white supremacist murdered nine African Americans at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. A…

We didn't make it, team

Team -- I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is last night was the deadline for our $350,000 mid-month goal, and we fell $18,216 short. The good news is we decided to extend our deadline until tonight. My team will now close the books on our mid-month numbers tonight,…

Tom Steyer.

Team, yesterday it was announced that Tom Steyer is one poll away from making the September debate stage. He announced his candidacy just last month and since then, he’s spent $10 million of his own money to fund his campaign. The truth is, I don’t have billions of dollars of personal…

Here's what we mean when we talk about momentum:

Team, look at this: Morning Consult is out with a new poll of likely voters in early primary states. In the almost two weeks since the last debate, we’ve shot into the top tier. In fact, we're now tied with Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, and Tom Steyer. I’ll be the first to admit th…

re: Tom Steyer on the debate stage

Friend -- We just found out that Tom Steyer has reached the 130,000 donor threshold and is only one poll away from making the September debate stage. With Andrew Yang, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O’Rourke, and Amy Klobuchar all quali…

re: Andrew Yang, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O'Rourke, and Amy Klobuchar

Team, here’s a quick update on how we’re doing on our mid-month goal. FIRST: Last week, we set a goal to raise $100,000 by August 15th. THEN: This community surpassed that goal, so we increased it to $350,000. NOW: There are only three days left until the deadline, and we still have …

We're falling behind

Team, Jenna, our deputy campaign manager, has kept me updated on our grassroots fundraising. She told me that yesterday we fell $10,227 short of our goal. If we want to reach $350,000 by August 15th, we need to raise $160,000 by midnight tonight. Team, will you chip in to help us rais…

Let's show Cory what this team can do

Hey team, Jenna here. The texts from Cory about our grassroots fundraising keep coming -- he’s been really excited about how it’s been going since the debate. I really want to be able to tell him that we can reach $160,000 this weekend. But if I’m being honest, we’re falling behind …

We've made progress

We are blown away by the news: since we raised our fundraising goal to $350,000, this grassroots team has really stepped up. We’ve already raised $117,382! We only have a few days left to hit our Wednesday night deadline of $350,000. Will you be one of the supporters who get us there? …

Four more years of Donald Trump isn't an option, team

Team, If we want to make lasting change in this country, we need a strong, united Democratic Party. Our Democratic nominee will be up against a very well-funded incumbent president. But if we want to beat Donald Trump, we cannot afford to take our foot off the gas: defeating Donald Tr…

re: the fall debate stage

Friend, I’ve got to be honest -- this is an email about our mid-month deadline. (But it’s less boring than it sounds, I promise.) In the 24 hours after the second Democratic debate, our campaign had its biggest grassroots fundraising haul -- even surpassing launch day. We received con…

re: And Andrew Yang makes nine...

Team -- this morning, Andrew Yang qualified for the fall debates. That puts nine people on the stage in September. It’s going to be crowded up there, so we increased our August mid-month goal to $350,000 to make sure Cory stands out. I know we can come together and raise $350,000 by n…

We've got a big mid-month goal and we're going to need your help to hit it, team

Hey team, it’s time for an update. After Cory’s debate performance last week, we need to keep up our grassroots momentum. Some of the folks he shared the debate stage with -- Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, for example -- reported huge fundraising numbers last quarter. Joe Biden’s campaig…

To love our country in this moment means we must step outside our comfort zones and confront ourselves. We need to ask hard questions and genuinely seek answers.

Moments ago, in the wake of a weekend in which we witnessed violent acts of terror in America, I spoke at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC about gun violence and the rising tide of hatred and white nationalism in America. You can watch what I had to say here: https://youtu.be/mfkRcqbnZuc?t=…

Let's keep it going

Team, We are blown away by the momentum our campaign has seen since last week’s debate. The 24 hours since Cory left the debate stage turned out to be our biggest fundraising day so far. Thank you. And just between the start of the debate and midnight that evening, we had new donors i…

Inaction is complicity

Friend, In less than 24 hours we saw two horrific acts of hate and violence. Thirty-one lives were taken in El Paso and Dayton -- but they’re not alone. In Chicago over the weekend, at least 59 people were shot, including a 5-year-old boy. Gun violence cannot be normalized, regardles…

Today, the president addressed the nation with the same Republican rhetoric and talking points we've heard for over two decades -- empty words and thoughts and prayers.

A white nationalist drove 650 miles to El Paso, TX on Saturday, then went into a Walmart with an assault rifle and killed 22 people. Despite protestations that this kind of violence is born from mental illness or violent video games, we must acknowledge the truth: White supremacy is not a ment…

We cannot continue to live in this reality

Friend, over the past twenty-four hours, we have lost at least 29 Americans to mass shootings. More than 50 people are injured, and countless more will suffer from the trauma of these events for years to come. Let me be clear: Donald Trump is giving license to violence. He’s responsibl…

Claim your "Future President" sticker

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…
