Friend,

Grassroots activists have always been the foundation of the Democratic Party -- and they've been loud and clear for months with a simple demand: Put climate front and center in the Democratic debates.

I'm extremely disappointed in the decision made by the DNC to refuse to hold a climate debate and to ignore these Democrats. And I'm extremely concerned about their threat to punish candidates who would participate in an outside climate debate by locking them out of future DNC debates. It is undemocratic.

Thursday is our mid-month deadline, and it's never been more important to invest in the only campaign committed to putting climate change front and center -- especially when the DNC won't. Donate $1 or more to help us raise $25,000 to keep pushing our climate change message in the face of the DNC's silencing tactics.

Climate change is the existential crisis of our time. Democratic voters say climate change is their top issue. So why is the DNC silencing our voices?

I will keep making this a priority, no matter what anyone does to try to stop that. But I need your help now more than ever.

We have a big goal to hit by Thursday: $25,000 before our mid-month deadline. Will you donate $1 or more to support our climate change movement in the face of the DNC's climate debate decision?

Very truly yours,

Jay
