Abdul El-Sayed

{NAME} --  In a few moments I am going to ask you to make a contribution to progressive champion Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign. I hope you’ll give me a quick chance to explain why this request is so important:  In less than a week, voters in Michigan will head to the polls and determine the Democratic nominee for governor.  Abdul El-Sayed is a next generation, progressive leader -- committed to single-payer health care, the right to clean water, and a living wage for everyone.  Abdul has refused to take money from corporate PACs, which has led some in the establishment to dismiss his chances. But Abdul is running the same kind of people-powered campaign Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ran in New York’s primary last month, and his momentum is growing -- which means that he has a real chance to win this thing.  Here's another reason to support Abdul: Centrist Democrats across the country are getting nervous because smart, progressive, and diverse candidates are winning their primaries and challenging the pro-corporate, pro-Wall Street status quo.  If Abdul wins this primary, not only will it increase the odds of seeing real change in Michigan, it'll give a boost to other young, progressive candidates who are taking on the establishment across the country.  Now here comes the ask:  [Can you rush a donation to support Adbul’s campaign before next week’s primary? Your contribution could be the difference for progressives in this race, and Abdul needs your help before it’s too late.](  Abdul is the right candidate at the right time in Michigan. His victory would send a resounding progressive message across the country that the way to win in the Trump era is not by pandering to the fictitious middle, but taking bold, progressive stands on the issues that matter to working people.  [That’s why your donation today -- of any amount -- is so important.](  Thanks for supporting Abdul’s campaign today.  - Karli  Karli Wallace Thompson, Senior Digital Manager Democracy for America [DONATE]( Paid for by Democracy for America, and not authorized by any candidate.
