The best piece of advice I’ve received

Ad copy

Early in my career, Bernie Sanders gave me a piece of advice I’ve never forgotten. He said, “In politics, people succeed either by being really good at lying or really good at telling the truth. You strike me as someone who’s not good at lying — so your job is to get really good at telling the truth.” Here’s the truth: we’re just two points behind the AIPAC-backed candidate and we have the momentum to win. We’re working hard to raise as much as we can to prove that our people-powered campaign — one that rejects AIPAC and corporate PAC money — has enough resources to take on the establishment and win. But I’m relying on folks like you who care about the future of our party and our country to make it possible. Will you chip in $10 or $15 today to help power this movement?
