S/V Sundance: No.

No.

Faith, thinking ahead towards the new year and the start of the second Trump administration, we have two choices in front of us.

We can accept a corrupt, greedy administration for what it is, surrender our country to Project 2025, and legitimize a government that works for billionaires and corporations.

Or we can do everything we possibly can to throw a wrench in their plans, use the tools we have to prevent or minimize their damage, and keep up the fight for something better.

I know what choice I'm making. And I need you with me, Faith.

The odds may be stacked against us, but that doesn't mean we don't try. And that doesn't mean we can't win.

For example, even when Republicans controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House back in 2017, they were hellbent on rolling back health care access. But brave activists — who put their bodies on the line in the halls of Congress — and a nationwide grassroots campaign fought and won to preserve the Affordable Care Act. We stopped them.

You don't get what you don't fight for.

In 2025, I'll keep you updated on the fights to come as we face new opportunities to push back against harmful policies and press forward for positive change. And if it makes sense for you right now, I'm asking if you can make a donation to support our campaign before the next FEC deadline to raise the resources we need to do this work and demonstrate how many people like you are still in this fight.

OTHER AMOUNT

Before the administration begins, we already see why we need to stay in the fight — and I understand my assignment as a U.S. senator.

That's why I'll keep shining a light on the conflicts of interest between Elon Musk being co-president and also being the richest man in the world — and fighting for proper oversight.

That's why I'll keep pointing out Trump's broken promises: How he said he will lower costs for families before the election, and then told his rich buddies, "We're cutting your taxes — we're going to cut them very substantially" after the election.

That's why I'll be fighting back against any attempt by the administration to privatize public goods like the USPS.

That's why if Republicans go forward with more tax breaks for billionaires and billionaire corporations, I'm going to push back every inch of the way.

That's why I'll keep defending the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau against the big banks who want free rein to rip off the American people.

That's why I've recently re-introduced my Accountable Capitalism Act to shift corporations away from maximizing shareholder value to support for workers and communities.

But I'm also asking you to stay in the fight, because I can't do all this alone. I'm asking you to remember your power, Faith. The far right wants us to roll over and accept defeat. No.

We've got our work cut out for us, but I know this movement is going to keep up the fight no matter what. If you're with us, Faith, can you please pitch in $28 or anything you can before tomorrow's FEC deadline to ensure we can start 2025 — and a second Trump administration — with the strongest support possible?

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
