To me, America has always been about opportunity for all

To me, America has always been about opportunity for all.

Right now, that promise is under direct attack.

I've been ringing the alarm bells about what's happening to our democracy, because Trump's playbook is one we've seen in authoritarian dictatorships before: dismantle the courts, silence dissent, concentrate power in the hands of a few, and make sure ordinary people never get a fair shot again.

Trump's cronies and the privileged and powerful who have rigged our economy aren't letting up. So neither can we.

That's why your grassroots support is so critical right now, and why I need to ask: will you chip in ${{get('ask')}} before tonight's end-of-quarter fundraising deadline?

Here's what's at stake: our progressive priorities all depend on us taking back the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.

This is a fight for the heart and soul of our democracy. For the planet we pass on to our kids. For the idea that America still belongs to all of us, not just the few at the top.

I'm doing the work because I know we can win it, but I can't do it without you.

Stand with me. Chip in ${{get('ask')}} before tonight's deadline, and let's fight for our future.

Onward!
