Something special (re: Obama’s announcement)

So much has changed since President Obama's announcement, but one thing remains the same.

Can I share something special with you today, Steven? Below is the message Barack Obama sent announcing the Democratic Unity Fund -- our effort launched in May 2019 to ensure our party's nominee for president and Democrats down the ticket had a fully-funded Democratic Party behind them. So much has changed since President Obama's announcement, but one thing remains the same: A strong, united party is the key to Democratic victories up and down the ticket. As I reflect on President Obama's words today, I'm inspired by just how close we are to delivering on the promise of the Democratic Unity Fund. Grassroots Democrats like you are the only reason we're in such a strong position right now -- and now, with just six days before voting ends, you're going to be the reason we will win. Please, take a look at Barack Obama's message below, and then contribute $7 to the Democratic Unity Fund now so we can finish our work electing Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats up and down the ticket. In unity, Tom Tom Perez Chair Democratic National Committee -----Forwarded message----- Sender: Barack Obama Date: Friday, May 17, 2019 Subject: A promise Next year is our chance to make sure that our shared values -- of decency, honesty, and progress -- are represented in the Oval Office. That's why I'm excited that the DNC asked me to announce a bold new effort: The Democratic Unity Fund. The Democratic Unity Fund is a promise that no matter who earns our nomination, he or she will have a strong, united, and well-prepared DNC ready to lift them to victory. Because winning in 2020 won't happen on its own. That's why I'm asking: Will you make a $7 donation to the Democratic Unity Fund today? Every contribution will be dedicated toward building the kind of robust, dynamic party infrastructure that our eventual nominee and Democrats across the country will rely on to win. DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount The Democratic Unity Fund will help power critical DNC programs that are essential to winning in 2020 -- programs that Democratic candidates can't succeed without. The stakes couldn't be higher in 2020. This is a pivotal moment for our country and our democracy -- and we simply can't sit on the sidelines. So, I hope you'll contribute to the Democratic Unity Fund to support our eventual Democratic nominee for president and Democrats in all 50 states. Thank you, Steven, for your commitment to fighting for our shared values. Barack Obama If you no longer wish to receive emails from the DNC, submit this form to unsubscribe.
