We're forwarding our team's email below and pleading to you one more time to spare just a moment and [pitch in anything today before it's too late >>]( The only way meaningful progress is going to happen is if we elect bold Democrats in November. Not just Democrats who are well-funded and politically connected -- but working-class Democrats who understand the challenges that everyday Americans face and are fully committed to improving our communities with tangible action. They are the ones who we can trust to actually fight for us without backing down to fear-mongering and dirty tricks by the GOP. They are the bold progressives who won't compromise when it comes to our values because they've experienced injustice and systemic barriers firsthand. And THEY are the ones who need your support the most right now because they lack the financial advantages and pedigree that other candidates have to boost their campaigns. Our fundraising numbers are dropping, and if we don't catch up by the end of the week, we're going to have to scale back on the resources we provide to our low-income, working-class candidates. If that happens during this CRITICAL final stretch, we could miss out on key opportunities to reach last minute undecided swing voters. And that could cost us the election. [Please, folks, now is the time to step up for the Democrats who need you the most.

To: Team <{EMAIL}> Team, GOP candidates across the country are garnering major support by parroting Trump ideology and inciting far-right extremism, cushioned by financial support from millionaires and corporate super PACs. They've got some serious momentum on us right now at this CRITICAL time right before the election. If Democrats want a shot at winning key seats, we need to refresh our strategy because the status quo is simply not enough. We can no longer rely on mainstay establishment politicians to run the same stale campaigns with mediocre results. Let's be real: The current political system is inherently designed to favor the elite, and it perpetuates the socioeconomic barriers that keep working-class folks silenced and out of office. And so the toxic cycle of inaction and out-of-touch leadership continues. The American people are burnt out. We're tired of putting our faith into representatives who don't actually represent us. What we need right now is real working-class leaders who will inspire us with hope of a brighter future and who will truly be our voice. That's why Barrier to Entry PAC exists -- to level the playing field and to elect working-class progressives who lack the pedigree of financial advantages but have the courage it takes to demand better for everyday people. But according to our recent lag in fundraising numbers, the enthusiasm just isn't there right now... people are feeling unspired. And it's urgent that we energize and mobilize Democrats quickly. Our working-class Dems are counting on us now more than ever to help motivate voters in these FINAL 20 DAYS. We need to get these candidates and their campaigns in front of more folks immediately and regain lost momentum if we're going to turn this thing around on time. [Please, friends, we can't let these trailblazing progressives down when they need us most.
