| Change has always started with you, Pat. We're seeing that right now. Protesting, taking to the streets, and making our voices heard are all necessary and urgent actions as we seek true justice in America. In order to make this moment a turning point for change, we've got to channel our demands into laws and institutional practices. And that only happens by electing leaders who are responsive to our values. Coming together to support a strong DNC plays a critical role in making this happen. Investing in a party infrastructure with the latest technology, voter data, and organizing networks is something each of us can do to ensure that we can elect leaders who reflect our values and policy goals, especially in local races. That's why I'm coming to you with an important request: Make a $7 donation to the Democratic Unity Fund. It's a small but incredibly meaningful step you can take today towards building the better world we're fighting for. We know this kind of transformational change is possible because it's already happening, Pat. Just this month, Ferguson, Missouri, elected its first African-American mayor. It's proof that politics and voting can make a real difference in communities with a history of discriminatory law enforcement practices. And the DNC's data, tech, and organizing infrastructure can help support victories like this all across the country. The DNC supports thousands of campaigns, from the top of the ticket to races happening in your own backyard. For local races running on small budgets, a strong DNC can be the difference between victory and defeat, so your support today can make a real and meaningful impact. So, I hope you'll contribute $7 to the DNC's Democratic Unity Fund. In a moment where it's more apparent than ever how mayors, county executives, and those in positions of power can impact our systems of justice, your investment can help us elect leaders everywhere who are responsive to people like you. Thank you for taking this important step with me today. Together, Barack Obama P.S. I know that many people are not in a position to donate right now, or they're already pitching in to support local organizations. That's OK -- change happens through everyone doing what they can, when they can, to push us forward. But if you're in a position to donate today, your $7 gift will go a long way in building the infrastructure to help us elect local leaders that reflect and respond to their communities. | | | |
