A little while ago, I heard about a man in New Hampshire who'd just lost his job but still donated $2 to our campaign.
I don't take that lightly and I don't want anyone to make a donation that doesn't fit in their budget. So I want you to know that every single contribution means a great deal to me and, more importantly, to our movement. I owe something to you and every grassroots donor: a promise that I'll fight just as hard as you do.
That man knew that his $2 donation would matter, and it does. He knew that his contribution would help level the playing field for families across the country, and it will.
He knew that he was joining the fight alongside millions of people he'd never meet, because we pick up each other's fights as our own.
I'm grateful down to my toes that he's in this fight — and that you're in this fight, too. It means the world to me, and every single donation brings us closer to big, structural change.
When I'm president, we'll have a government that listens to — and works for — people who reach deep into their pockets to chip in $2 at a time, not just those who can donate $2,000 without blinking an eye.
The way I see it, getting involved in a political campaign is an act of optimism.
Joining the fight means that we can make things better than they are now. That we all have a role to play, whether it's chipping in a few bucks or knocking on doors for a few hours (or both!).
It's about hope — hope for the America that we can build together, $2 at a time.
An America where Washington is focused like a laser on creating good-paying jobs for hard-working Americans, not padding the profits of giant multinational corporations.
Where people get the care they need if they get sick, and no one goes broke because of medical bills.
Where people can decide to have more kids without worrying that the cost of child care will crush them.
Where anyone who wants to follow their dream and hit the books can get a degree from a technical school, community college, or public university at no cost.
2020 is our moment to dream big, fight hard, and win. Starting in 2021, we'll have a government that works for everyone, not just the rich and powerful.
