This is URGENT, John: This race is becoming one of the MOST expensive primaries in history. My opponents are raking in huge piles of cash from establishment elites and out-of-state special interests.

Listen, I always knew I wouldn't raise the most money in this race. On average, Black women in politics like myself fundraise just a fraction of what white candidates do – but I do need enough to compete. So please, will you donate $5 right now to help us hit our $25,000 daily fundraising goal and send a true progressive to the Senate?

As we work to restore reproductive freedom, address economic justice and more, we can't fail to meet this moment. We need bold, progressive solutions in the Senate for the challenges we face – and with my record in the House of getting things done on housing, healthcare, and social justice, I know I'm the one to deliver on them.

But I'm up against opponents who have millions in the bank and a system that generally gives Black women like myself less to work with. This is one of the highest glass ceilings in American politics, and I'm really counting on you to chip in right now so I can finally shatter it.

John, will you rush $5 or more to help me hit this goal and build a progressive future for all of us?

Thank you for your continued support; we can make a difference together.
