You. Me. Dinner?

If you’ve ever wanted to grab dinner with your favorite vegan presidential candidate -- friend, do I have some good news for you. I’ll be honest, my schedule is a little busy these days. On most weeks, I’m visiting more towns than I can count on both hands. But, what really keeps me go…

When it comes to childhood poverty, we cannot be silent.

As president, I will make it a priority to take action on behalf of our most vulnerable children and families. When it comes to child poverty, we cannot be silent. This is personal to me, friend. My dad was born poor. He grew up in a small, segregated town in the mountains of North Car…

I'm personally asking for your help

Team, I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s already time to start preparing for the next DNC debate -- and I need your help before I take the stage in just 13 days. I’ll get straight to the point, team. I want your input on what issues matter the most to you. Can you take two minutes …

This week on the campaign

Prefer not to receive these weekly campaign updates? We totally understand. Click here to opt out of our newsletter updates! Hey team, I’m still blown away that we crushed our $1.7 million end-of-quarter goal. By the time our deadline passed at 11:59 p.m. on Monday night, we had actually raise…

Eight months in.

Read about our Q4 strategy below, which includes raising nearly $3 million in the month of October. Help us get a head start on this month’s goal by chipping in here. It’s been 10 days since Cory 2020 opened up to our supporters, friends, and the world about the high stakes of the clos…

This grassroots team is the reason I'm staying in this race

Team, A little less than two weeks ago, we learned that we needed to raise $1.7 million before our end-of-quarter deadline to stay in this race. Well, here’s what happened. This grassroots team stepped up in a major way and we hit that goal a day before the deadline -- exceeding all e…

you around, team?

Friend, Before folks start heading to bed tonight, I wanted to give you a quick update on our goal. As of 4:45 p.m., we exceeded our goal of $2 million and are on track to having the best quarter of our campaign. And as of five minutes ago, my team let me know we’re at $2,094,542.24. Maybe yo…

no words

Team, At 4:45 p.m. today, it happened. We officially crossed our $2 million end-of-quarter goal. I was already blown away when you all breezed past our $1.7 million goal with a full day to spare -- but $2 million? I’m truly overwhelmed by the show of support. If there’s anything I’ve …

Last night at 8:16 p.m.

I have some incredible news, friend. Last night at 8:16 p.m., we reached our goal of $1.7 million -- a full day ahead of the deadline we set for ourselves. I’m so grateful that at the most critical moment of this campaign, tens of thousands of people in all fifty states came together t…

hey

Friend, I’m sending along a final update today on our path to $1.7 million by September 30th. My team told me we’re only $9,275.42 away. We’re so close and I could use your help getting us over the finish line. I was on CNN with Jake Tapper this morning and as we talked about our progress to …

Is your phone on?

I have an important update for you: We’re only $67,150.06 away from reaching our goal. (Yes, you read that right. We are so close.) To celebrate, Cory is calling a few people who donate in response to this email. So, team: If you chip in right now, he may be calling you later tonight. …

re: Cory on the debate stage

Team, We’re fewer than 1,000 new donors away from securing our spot on the November debate stage. This new 165,000 donor threshold underscores the reason we’re being radically transparent about our campaign goals. The bar in this race has gotten higher and it will continue to througho…

Cory on the debate stage

Team -- here’s what we know about the November debate: FIRST: Earlier this week, the DNC raised the donor threshold for the November debate stage to 165,000 individual donors. THEN: We learned that Andrew Yang, Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar, Tom Steyer, Eliza…

What losing Cory's voice would mean

In a minute, I’m going to share why I believe we need Cory to remain in this race. If you agree, chip in right now to help us hit our $1.7 million end-of-quarter goal. As you’ve probably heard by now, our campaign set a goal to raise $1.7 million by the end of the quarter. In fact, hit…

$1,200,000 down, less than $500,000 left to go

Team, we reached a milestone in our goal to raise $1.7 million. I just checked in with my team, and they told me we have less than $500,000 left to go ($428,474.71 to be exact). That may sound like a lot -- and it is -- but this means our grassroots team raised over $1.2 million in les…

If there was ever a time to make your first donation, it's right now team

Team, I’m sure you’ve heard by now, but our campaign is at a crossroads. We need to raise $1.7 million by September 30th or we will not be able to grow our operation fast enough to stay competitive. And on Monday, we learned that the DNC is increasing the donor threshold for the Novem…

We missed our goal, team

Team, we missed our $155,000 goal yesterday by $13,084.05. We must make each and every day count if we want to reach $1.7 million by September 30th. To do that, my team set daily goals that we must hit to stay on track. That means we have to raise $118,084.05 today to catch up to where…

We need to raise $41,232.25 by midnight to keep us on track

Team, In a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution to my campaign. Here’s why -- when we launched our $1.7 million goal, some folks might have mistaken this critical initiative for an end-of-quarter fundraising stunt. I can assure you, it isn’t. We made a decision to give …

History will remember those who put politics aside at this time of crisis and treated it like the moral moment that it is.

Team, This morning, the American people got their first peek into the call between Donald Trump and the Ukrainian president. The White House confirmed what we knew all along: Donald Trump explicitly asked a foreign government to investigate one of his political opponents. He pressed …

Coming up on a big goal, team

Team, Spoiler alert: We’re almost to $1 million raised of our $1.7 million must-hit goal -- $987,395.35, to be exact. We’re blown away, but we need to raise $155,000 TODAY to stay on track. We’re making great strides, team, but we can’t get too confident. We have just six days left to…

re: The DNC has raised the debate stage threshold again, team

Did you see Cory’s note from yesterday, team? The DNC raised the debate stage threshold again. We’re going to need all hands on deck to be on stage in November. Will you chip in and be one of the 165,000 unique donors we need to qualify? Here’s a link: https://secure.actblue.com/donat…

Team -- I have a quick update for you. Addisu just told me we’ve raised over $212,785 for today! This is incredible, team, but we still have a ways to go to hit $1.7 million in only SIX days. Today the DNC announced that they’ll be raising the donor threshold for the November debate s…

One more thing before I call it a night
