I am about to ask you to make a contribution to our campaign. But first, I hope you will give me a moment to explain why this ask – especially today – is so important.

Last night I joined 9 other Democratic presidential candidates at CNN’s Climate Town Hall, and there is no question that our Green New Deal plan to address the climate emergency is the most ambitious plan of anyone else in this race.

We simply do not have the time to think small when it comes to saving our planet. But passing our Green New Deal will require an incredible amount of work, and we will be met with many challenges and attacks along the way.

The fossil fuel industry will do everything they can to protect their profits, and they have an obscene amount of money that they will spend to try to defeat us.

That is why I need your help to build the grassroots movement that can take them on and win. And in order to do that, we are relying on lots and lots of people giving small donations.

Can you make a donation to our campaign today? Your contribution will send a clear message about your support for a Green New Deal to take on the climate emergency.

There is no doubt in my mind that our campaign is the best prepared to win this election, defeat Donald Trump, and transform our country.

That’s not because of me. It’s because of us.

Thank you for being a part of this movement. 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.
