More people need to know what Cory stands for

Friend, Cory’s numbers doubled in one of the latest national polls. We’re building real grassroots momentum in this race -- and now we have to capitalize on it. If the debates showed us one thing, it’s that the more people find out about Cory Booker, the more people like him. That’s …

I'm reading your debate survey responses TONIGHT

Team -- the September debate lineup is set. I’ll be on stage with Andrew Yang, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O’Rourke, Julián Castro, and Amy Klobuchar. As one of our campaign’s top supporters, I want to hear from you. Will you take tw…

I've known Cory Booker since he had (some) hair.

We believe that the power of the people is greater than the people in power. That’s why, over the next few weeks, you’ll be hearing from members of Cory’s Crew about their journey to this campaign. Read their stories, and if you’re as inspired as they are, chip in to support Cory’s cam…

We just DOUBLED in the polls

did you see this important polling update? Hey team, according to Monmouth University, Cory doubled his support in a new national poll. Sorry to be so direct, but we need to capitalize on this moment. Will you chip in $1 before our end-of-month deadline? Here’s the deal: we need to rai…

The dynamic of this race is changing quickly

Friend, I have to just state the obvious: We send you emails asking for money a lot -- especially around a monthly budget deadline. You deserve to know why this particular deadline is important for our campaign. August is historically a hard month for grassroots fundraising among Demo…

Tom Steyer is just one qualifying poll away from joining Cory on the debate stage

Team -- August 28th is the last day for candidates to qualify for the September debate. Don't worry, we already know that Cory will be on the stage. We also know that he'll be joined by Andrew Yang, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O'Rour…

"Sleep" and I broke up again...

I can’t help it, team, I love a good dad joke. You may have read about one of my all-time greats (or groans?) earlier this year, when some intrepid journalists found, well, these in my Twitter archive... It’s a little corny, but we liked it so much that we put it on a mug. Get in…

The DNC debates are better in person

Cory crushed it on the debate stage last month, team. In fact, most news outlets agreed that he outright won the night. And the thing is, he’s only getting started. The next debate is just around the corner and we want to give you a chance to see Cory shine in person. If you chip in r…

August is notoriously a very slow fundraising month

Friend, I want to be straight with you: August is notoriously a very slow fundraising month -- and, honestly, now is not the time to fall behind our goals. Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren have already raised tens of millions of dollars this year. And now, Tom Steyer is …

Team, it’s almost time to close the books on August. Here’s the recap of our fundraising this month: FIRST: We missed our mid-month goal of $350,000. THEN: My team extended the deadline by 24 hours and this grassroots team stepped up to close the gap. NOW: I need you to do it again a…

I'm committed to taking bold action to address the existential threat of climate change. Add your name to stand with me in this fight.

Last night, Jay Inslee announced that he is ending his candidacy for president. I’m grateful to him for advancing the conversation about climate change -- our country is better for it. We need to make sure that we tackle climate change with the urgency it demands. Climate change and en…

And Julián Castro makes 10...

Team -- we just found out that Julián Castro has officially qualified for the fall debate stages. Tom Steyer is just one poll away from guaranteeing his spot, and as a self-funded billionaire, he’s spent over $10 million of his own money to get this far. The field is starting to narro…

You can help keep us on track

Tom Steyer.

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=…

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…
