I am writing to ask you to make a donation to our campaign. But first I would like to explain why this ask is so important — especially today.

Let me be very clear: We aren’t just running for president. We are building a movement that will transform this country once we are in the White House.

Following last night’s presidential debate, there is no question that our ideas are winning.

But the only way we will pass policies like Medicare for All and a Green New Deal is by organizing the largest grassroots movement American politics has ever seen.

That is what this campaign is about, and that is why I am asking you today:

Can you make a contribution to our campaign? We’ve got an important FEC deadline coming up soon, and we have some fundraising goals we need to meet before then.

As you know, we are taking on virtually every powerful special interest group in this country as well as the entire political establishment, financial elite, and corporate media.

But as long as we come together — and do not let Donald Trump or anyone else divide us up — we are going to win.

Please make your contribution today. This is an entirely grassroots funded campaign, so every contribution makes a big difference.

Thank you for all you’re doing to make this campaign possible. It means a lot to know that we are in this together.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

We hope you’ll stay, because emails are such an important part of how we organize and how we raise money. In fact, there is no single greater source for our campaign’s fundraising than emails like this one. And that’s important, because no one person, not even Bernie Sanders, can take on Trump and the billionaire class alone.

Before you go about the rest of your day, help power our fight against the billionaire class by making a contribution today.
