Blog de Dunlap: This is a chance for you to show that you’re still in this fight

I'm deeply grateful for every grassroots donor who chips in to help power our movement — because funding our campaign from the grassroots level makes a powerfully important difference.

Over time, a democracy with political campaigns funded by a small number of people who can contribute a lot of money looks very different from a democracy with campaigns funded by a large number of people who chip in a little at a time.

It's the difference between a government that works great for those at the top and a government that can work for everyone.

With a grassroots-funded movement, we can fight back against powerful interests like the gun lobby, Big Pharma, and fossil fuel giants who've used their deep pockets to block the change we're fighting to make.

And every three months, when we publish our fundraising numbers after the quarterly FEC deadline, we get a chance to show that grassroots donors like you are still in this fight.

If you're able to, will you pitch in $28 or whatever makes sense by tomorrow's important deadline? Your donation will support my re-election campaign and keep up the fight for creating universal child care, passing a wealth tax, getting corruption out of our government, and much more.

We need to defend and expand our Senate majority, retake the House, and re-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2024 — because everything we're fighting for would be a whole lot easier if we had more champions for working people in office. And our chances of making big, structural change all come screeching to a halt if Republicans take any more power.

Democrats win when we go out there and fight for the bold action that families need. But winning majorities is not enough. We need to use those majorities to pass plans that truly transform the lives of working people in this country.

So I'm fighting my heart out to get as much done as possible with the Congress we have now. And I'm working to elect more Democrats up and down the ballot so we can expand our majorities and get more of our plans on the table.

Will you chip in $28 or anything you can to make sure I can continue this work in the Senate? I'm fighting to keep making progress NOW — and I've got a whole bunch of plans for what we can accomplish with a Democratic House, a Democratic Senate, and a Democratic White House in 2025. Your support makes this work possible.

I never expect you to donate to every email, and I'm grateful for your support no matter what. If a financial contribution would make sense for you right now, it would be a huge help.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
