Dear friend,

Something you should know about this campaign is that it has never been about winning just for the sake of winning.

This is about our communities. It’s about protecting our most vulnerable — the New Yorkers who are nearly always left behind, who are made promises that are never kept, who keep this city running day in and day out.

It’s about lifting one another up as we climb, because it’s the right thing to do and because we’re all better off when we take care of one another.

It’s about you.

It’s about each of us working together, fighting together for a future we’ve always known we could build together, if only we were given the chance.

It’s about recognizing that we don’t have to — we will NOT — wait to be given the chance, because we’re taking it. Right here, right now, with this candidate and with the grassroots movement that we’ve been building steadily and surely over the past year.

It’s about taking our chance to create a new New York where no one goes without and where everyone lives in dignity.

We can do this.

We’re in the final sprint to our next major fundraising deadline, and this week is our last chance to earn additional matching funds. Will you help Dianne out by donating tonight?
