HISTORIC upset

I’m asking for a swift and powerful surge of support. Here’s why: I’m fighting for a spot in the next debates against self-funding billionaires who are buying their way on that stage. Can I count on your immediate $5 to qualify for the next debates and show the strength o…

this is shocking

Please take a second to read Julián’s personal note below.   He’s fighting for a spot in the next debates against billionaires like Tom Steyer -- who just qualified after spending a shocking $47M of his own money.   Take a stand for Julián’s critical voice and rush…

I need to say something

I need to say something:You shouldn't be able to buy your way to the presidency. Being born into wealth shouldn't qualify you for an unfair shot at the highest office in our nation. The system was not set up for all of us equally. So we need to step up and speak louder …

The way we campaign is a reflection of our values. While some candidates dismiss the power of grassroots support in favor of wealthy donors, I am proud that my campaign has the highest percentage of grassroots donors of any candidate. I know that the reason so many worki…

RE: Tom Steyer

Let me be perfectly blunt with you.   I’m fighting for a spot in the next debates, and I might not make it.   Because of the DNC rules, it’s possible for billionaires like Tom Steyer to flood the race with $47M of their own money and buy their way onto that stage.  …

$15 isn't just pocket change
