A request, Pat:

When Donald Trump tells American citizens to "go back" to their country, I can't help but hear chilling echoes of my childhood.

When Donald Trump tells American citizens to "go back" to their country, I hear chilling echoes of my own childhood. I was born in America, but when I was just five years old, my family and I were put into American internment camps. One hundred and twenty thousand Japanese Americans were rounded up and uprooted from our homes simply because we looked like the people who had bombed Pearl Harbor. We lost everything. We were allowed to keep only what we could carry. It was a dark, harrowing time. Today, we are witnessing new horrors at our border, eerily similar to what I experienced during World War II -- with the added cruelty of family separation. The Trump administration once again is turning America into a nation that has lost its soul, where barbed wire camps become the symbol of a broken and cruel system. We have no choice but to defeat Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box in November 2020. The Democratic Party is fighting relentlessly to equip Democrats with the resources they need to win, and this Wednesday at midnight, they're facing another important end-of-month fundraising deadline. Whether or not they reach this upcoming fundraising goal will determine if we stay on pace to defeat Trump and Republicans in 2020. That's why I'm coming to you, Pat: Will you make a $3 contribution to the Democratic Party to help win back the White House and seats in every ZIP code next year? Any amount you can give before Wednesday's important deadline will make a big difference. DONATE: $3 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Or donate another amount. What's happening in America today is horrific -- but we can overcome this dark moment in our nation's history if we work together. It will take each and every one of us speaking out in the face of injustice and doing everything we can to elect new leadership in 2020. Our fight certainly won't be easy, but it's a fight worth having. Together, we can elect a Democratic president and Democrats nationwide who will fight for our values of equality, inclusivity, and opportunity -- but we will need to build a strong DNC in order to make that happen. A contribution before Wednesday's deadline, while it's still early in the 2020 election cycle, will make a tremendous impact on the outcome of the presidential election and races nationwide next year. Make a $3 donation to the Democratic Party. Every dollar you give will be put straight to work helping elect a Democrat to the White House next year and winning seats all across the country. Thank you for standing up for what is right. George George Takei P.S. No child in this country should be locked behind barbed wire fences. That's as clear to me today as it was years ago, when I was that child. We have to do everything we can to vote Trump and his Republican cronies out of office in 2020, Pat. That's why I am asking you to donate $3 before Wednesday's fundraising deadline.
