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…

The DNC has raised the debate stage threshold again, team

Team -- Moments ago, the DNC raised the debate stage threshold to 165,000 unique donors. That means in order for me to be on the debate stage in November, we need to grow this grassroots team by the thousands. I know we can do this with your help. Please chip in today. This new 165,00…

We need to raise $180,000 today if we want to stay on track

Team, It’s been a few days now since we announced that we need to raise $1.7 million by September 30th at 11:59 p.m. to continue building a campaign that can really win. If we can’t, we don’t see a legitimate path forward in this race. In the spirit of being radically transparent, we …

One more thing before I call it a night

Team, When I wrote yesterday that our campaign was facing a very real budget challenge, I didn’t know exactly what to expect after being radically transparent. But I said from the start that I’d always be upfront with you about where we stand -- because this campaign wouldn’t exist wit…

Can you chip in our average online donation of $22 on the 22nd?

Team -- can you chip in our average online contribution of $22 today, September 22nd? Let me explain. Right now, our average online contribution is just $22 -- that might not sound like much, but we’re pushing towards a massive goal of $1.7 million in nine days, and every bit helps get…

$1.7 million

Team, We’ve raised over $193,366.97 (so close to $200K!!) in only nine hours. Not to mention the fact that we’ve received donations from every state, D.C., and Puerto Rico. This is a huge deal, team -- this means we’re well on pace for hitting our critical goal of $1.7 million by Septe…

I want to be radically transparent because I believe we can do this together if everyone understands where we are: We need to raise $1.7 million by September 30th to be able to grow a campaign that can win.

We need to raise $1.7 million Team, In a moment, I’m going to ask you to donate to my campaign. I know you get emails like this from us and others all the time. This one is different. I’d like to explain why. We need to raise $1.7 million by September 30th to make the immediate investm…

The DNC is introducing new debate qualifying thresholds

We've been called the underdog in this race -- and it's true. The fact is, I've never run for president before. And I didn’t enter this race with a huge network of donors from all over the country. And, any minute now, the DNC is going to introduce new debate qualifying thresholds. So,…

We must rise together

Team, My career in public life began over 20 years ago. It all started when I decided to run for City Council in Newark. I first ran for office because I was frustrated by the challenges facing my community -- issues like gun violence, open-air drug dealing, a lack of jobs, tenants be…

When I'm president, I'll make sure that workers are empowered again starting on Day One.

Friend, My grandfather migrated from the Jim Crow South to Detroit, where he landed a union job on the assembly lines during World War II. My father grew up in a segregated mountain town in North Carolina but was able to lift himself and our family into the middle class. For my family…

We didn't make it, team

Team -- I’m sorry to be emailing you again, but it’s important. Last night was the deadline for our $250,000 goal, and we fell $29,792 short. We already fell short once this quarter. And with the FEC fundraising deadline quickly approaching, now is not the time to do it again. Will yo…

We have an important couple of weeks coming up, team

We must stand with UAW workers in their fight for fair wages, better benefits, and reversal of plant closures that have decimated communities across our country.

Friend, During World War II, my grandfather was an assembly line worker and United Automobile Workers union rep at a Ford plant outside of Detroit. He showed me the power of collective action as a force for good that can improve people’s lives and right injustice -- his ability to org…

We need 217 donors from Washington D.C.

Cory Booker is the real deal -- the one ready to unite our party, heal our country, and make real change for Americans facing injustice and seeking opportunity.
