Dear Friends,

With the last votes counted, it’s painful to come up short by just one-tenth of one percent. But our campaign has never been only about winning an election.

From the outset, I’ve said this campaign is about strengthening vital movements that can transform our country.

Now, I want to ask you to stay involved as our campaign evolves into an ongoing grassroots coalition for progressive change.

We’ll kick off our new incarnation on Saturday, July 7, at the What’s Next event at campaign headquarters. To join us, please click here. I’ll be one of the speakers at that afternoon gathering as we talk about next steps.

Looking ahead, our campaign’s momentum can propel multi-year, coordinated efforts to boost grassroots capacities -- and elect genuine progressives in the process.

Whether or not you can be there next Saturday, I hope you’ll click here. We need your support as our campaign pays its last bills and focuses on the future.

As it happens, our July 7 event is on my birthday. . . but please, no presents. Your campaign support is more wonderful than any birthday gift I could possibly imagine.

With so much at stake, let's keep building on what we've done together.

With appreciation,
Norman
