John, if you need another reason to tax the rich, consider this: In just the first half of 2023, the wealthiest 500 people on Earth got $852 BILLION dollars richer. That's absurd. 

And while working people struggle just to keep a roof over their heads, those same rich elites get to treat our elections like playgrounds and block critical legislation to address issues such as rising and unaffordable health care costs, student loan forgiveness and climate justice. 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Enough is enough. It's time for the 0.1% to pay their fair share and restore political power back to everyday people. And in the Senate, I'll make it my mission to bring on real economic justice. That's why I'm personally asking:

Will you pitch in $5 right now to power my fight for the Senate, where I'll battle to take on the wealth gap and corporate greed and ensure that the rich pay their fair share?

A democracy where the 400 richest people have 22,000 times the political power of the average citizen is not a democracy at all. That's why I fought alongside Bernie Sanders to pass the Tax on Wall Street Speculation Act, which would implement a much-needed tax on the wealthiest Americans' transactions. 

But John, fundamentally reshaping our economy isn't going to happen overnight. It's going to take a huge movement of working people who are sick and tired of being taken advantage of to stand up and take action. 

In the Senate, I'll be a voice for that movement. I won't back down, no matter how much they spend against me. But I can't do this alone. 

Please, will you rush a $5 donation to help me win my historic run for the Senate, where I'll never stop fighting to hold the 0.1% accountable?
