But first, I hope you'll let me explain why your gift matters so much in this moment. What happens in the 98 days between now and the Iowa caucuses matters tremendously to the viability of our campaign. As you've seen in the news, many of our opponents are out-raising us by tens of millions of dollars. The polls are fluctuating daily, but most of them show us tailing some of our opponents. And, as my team and I have shared, grassroots contributions to our campaign have slowed this month. I'm not sharing this to scare you. I'm sharing this because I believe in speaking truth and being transparent with our supporters. The polls are going to fluctuate. Our opponents will probably continue to out-raise us -- I mean one of them is even talking about getting a super PAC. And all this news might make you start losing hope in what we can achieve in this election. I'm asking you to do something radical: I'm asking you to believe. If you'll indulge me, I have a short story to share about hope. The night before the Iowa caucuses in 2007, I went to a senior home in Des Moines and I started knocking on doors, reminding folks to head out and caucus. At one of the doors, a lady answered -- a petite Black woman well into her 80's. I started talking to her about Barack Obama, and she looked at me with a straight face and said, "They're not gonna let him win." As I looked back at her, I thought about what her 80+ years of life had required her to endure and witness. All the injustices she had experienced. All of the indignities. And that night, she was holding on to her dignity. She was not about to endure another disappointment. I stayed and talked with her, she talked more with me. Guess who showed up in Barack Obama's corner the next night at the caucus? And he won. I share this to remind you that, when we believe in our own ability to make change, in our ability to do what has never been done before, we can achieve anything. If you're with me in this, I need you to believe -- because there's a lot of work to be done, and we could really use your help. If you're able, please consider pitching in your first donation to our campaign right now -- whatever amount is meaningful and possible for you.

I know you're here because you believe our democracy is worth fighting for -- and this is a fight we will win.
