We need a president who will fight for HBCUs.

Cory has the boldest plan ever to invest in our HBCUs. Period. Team, It’s Christina here. As a member of this campaign and a proud Howard University grad, I’d like to tell you a little bit about Cory’s plan to support and invest in our Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Firs…

We're hoping to hit the airwaves with some new ads soon

Less than one week, team. That’s all the time we have left to qualify for the December DNC debate. Our hope is to raise enough resources to be able to run TV ads so that we can reach more voters and caucus-goers who haven’t yet heard about Cory. That’s our best shot to boost our poll n…

An update on where we stand regarding the December debate:

Our campaign created a brand new ad -- "Love" -- to introduce more folks to Cory and get the polls we need to secure Cory's spot on stage in December. Hi team, here’s an update on where we stand regarding the December debate: FIRST: Just hours after Cory’s performance at the last debate…

This is an email about Tom Steyer:

Hey friend, did you see this? Tom Steyer has qualified for the December debate stage, and our campaign is still short of the polling threshold. There’s still a week left before the stage is set. Will you chip in right now to help us qualify for the December debate and represent our pa…

There are more billionaires than Black people who've made the December debate stage.

Our party is better than this. It's time we show it.

As the current December debate lineup stands, not a single one of the candidates who will appear on stage is a person of color. This is a shame. The 2020 Democratic field promised one of -- if not the -- most diverse sets of candidates in modern history, though you wouldn’t see that fr…

Our Democratic field started out as the most diverse field in modern history, and it would be a shame if diversity is not reflected on the debate stage.

I'll be honest, the billionaires in this race are making it difficult for an underdog campaign like ours. Friend, 17 times in one hour. That's how many times a Politico reporter in New Hampshire saw a Tom Steyer ad while watching videos on YouTube. And that's just online. Tom Steyer an…

Tom Steyer is on the December debate stage and Cory isn't

The stakes of the race are changing. Team, this morning Tom Steyer announced that he has qualified for the December debate. That brings the number of candidates on stage to six -- he’ll join Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, and Amy Klobuchar. His campaign ha…

Join me in fighting back against a system that is denying candidates of color access to the debate stage while paving the way for billionaires.

As it stands right now, you see won't see our party's diversity reflected on the December debate stage. Team, I’ll get right to the point: Six candidates currently in the race are qualified for the DNC’s December debate. But as it stands now, after starting with the most diverse preside…

Long before she was a presidential candidate or a U.S. Senator, Kamala Harris was my friend.
