I'm Jewish. I'm Middle Eastern. I'm an immigrant. My life and my community have been shaped by gun violence. And now I'm organizing to help retake the White House and better our country.

Since I got involved in the fight to end gun violence over a year ago, I've come to realize just how much of a difference we as young people can make when we organize together.

I never thought I'd be an organizer for gun violence prevention, but that was before gun violence claimed the lives of 17 students at my alma mater in Parkland, Florida. The massacre that day devastated me. It devastated my community, and forever changed the lives of the thousands affected. Horrified, I felt the need to take action. I began advocating and organizing to try and change hearts and minds -- and our country's outdated and broken gun laws. Now, I'm proud to be taking the next step by joining Organizing Corps 2020 to help elect a Democrat to the White House. As a minority, immigrant, and young person, I spent too long thinking my voice couldn't make a difference. Over the past 14 months, I've realized that it can, and that's what makes me so excited about Organizing Corps 2020. The DNC is helping train people like me -- people from groups too often underrepresented in politics -- to be leaders in their community in ways that will continue to have an impact long after the 2020 election. But here's the catch, Pat: Organizing Corps 2020 isn't fully funded yet, and right now we need dedicated Democrats like you to help support it. Can you make a $3 donation today to support crucial DNC programs like Organizing Corps 2020? Your early support will make a big difference in ensuring that young organizers like me receive the training we need to hit the ground running in 2020. DONATE: $3 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Or donate another amount. Since I got involved in the fight to end gun violence, I've realized how we can truly make a difference if we come together to fight and organize for a common purpose. In the past 14 months, two gun violence prevention bills have passed in the House, state legislatures nationwide have passed and enacted common sense gun laws, and public opinion is shifting for the better -- but we're just getting started. The progress we've made on gun violence prevention is proof that a better world is possible, and we must empower people with the tools and skills they need to create change in their communities, states, and this country as a whole. Organizing Corps can play a vital role in making that happen -- starting with the 2020 elections -- but we need your help, Pat. I hope you'll donate $3 today to support important DNC programs like Organizing Corps 2020. Thanks for believing in us, Pat.
