Warren has raised over $100,000 since Wall Street threatened to pull $30,000 in contributions [View all]

Go Liz Go!

Hello,

When two of the biggest Wall Street banks announced Friday that they might withhold $30,000 in political contributions to Senate Democrats because of me, I asked you to help us match it.

In less than 24 hours, we’d raised the $30,000 – so on Saturday, I asked you to help double it. (I honestly wasn’t sure if we could hit such a ginormous goal, but what the heck – we tried it anyway.)

I have incredible news: Our team didn’t just double down on Wall Street’s threat – we TRIPLED it. In fact, 3825 people have helped us raise more than $100,000 since Citigroup and JPMorgan fired their warning shot a few days ago.

Tomorrow night is the big quarterly fundraising deadline. What do you say we really show them and QUADRUPLE it?

Let’s send Wall Street the loudest possible message that their bullying won’t make us go away. If you can chip in $5 or $10 – or whatever you can afford – you’ll help us reach $120,000 by midnight tomorrow night.

Thank you for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
