Some Democrats in Washington believe the only changes we can get are tweaks and nudges. If they dream at all, they dream small. Some say if we all just calm down, the Republicans will come to their senses.

But our country is in a time of crisis. The time for small ideas is over.

Big problems call for big solutions. If we are going to save our democracy, build an economy that works for everyone, and clean up the corruption in Washington, we need big, structural changes.

And yes, I have a plan for that.

It starts with you and me rolling up our sleeves and being a part of this fight — side by side. We can’t build our movement without grassroots donors like you. Can you chip in right now to say you’re in this fight all the way?

When I’m president, we will…

• Pass the biggest anti-corruption plan since Watergate
• Break up big ag, big banks, and big tech
• Make it easier for workers to join a union
• Pass a wealth tax, and use a big hunk of that money for Universal Child care and early education, free public college, at least $50 billion in a fund for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and cancelling student loan debt for 95% of people carrying it

When I lead the Democratic Party, we will not be a party that nibbles around the edges. Our Democratic Party will be a party of bold, structural change.

But bold, structural change doesn’t happen on its own. We dream big and we fight hard. Because the rich and powerful aren’t giving up anything without a fight.

Millions of grassroots Democrats are ready to fight — in New York and across the country.

But when it gets hard, when there’s a lot on the line, too many powerful people in our party say settle down, back up, there’s nothing to be angry about.

Here’s the thing: When a candidate tells you about all the things that aren’t possible, about how political calculations come first, about how you should settle for little bits and pieces instead of real change, they’re telling you something very important: they are telling you that they will not fight for you.

Not me. I’m here to fight.

When I lead the Democratic Party, we will be a party of moral clarity, a party of courage, and a party with backbone.

So if you’re like me and think we need to be a party of big plans to make this country work for everyone — a party that has the courage to fight for those plans — then join me. Chip in $3 or whatever you can today. Every donation makes a real difference.

We’ll dream big and fight hard.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
