With just six days to go in this election, the difference between the candidates’ values couldn’t be clearer.

On one side, there’s Katie Porter: a fighter for working families with a plan to hold special interests accountable. She knows what Californians are going through, and how to make our state more affordable.

On the other side are the big-money and MAGA-backed candidates.

Xavier Becerra’s campaign is propped up by half a million dollars from Chevron. Tom Steyer is a literal billionaire trying to buy this election with over $213 MILLION of his personal fortune.

And that’s not even mentioning the two MAGA Republicans running to bring Trump’s agenda to California.

Who wins this race matters because their values will decide our future. Katie Porter is the only candidate who’s lived the struggle of working Californians, and will actually fight to change the status quo.

We’re running out of time to reach voters, and we’re going all out in the final week to get people to the polls. Porter Supporters like you need to step up to get our campaign over the finish line.

We set a $250,000 goal to fund the final push we need to win. Can you chip in $5 or more to help us reach it and elect Katie Porter as our next governor?

this can't wait

If Sherrod Brown is going to defeat Jon Husted and flip this seat, we need you to rush $5 to our campaign for U.S. Senate today.

Not tomorrow or next week – right now.

Here's why: $79 million in dark money is being dumped into Ohio by the GOP's main Senate super PAC – the most of any state. They are using that money to hammer us with negative TV ads attacking Sherrod personally.

Unfortunately, brand-new polling shows the attack ads might just be working – The New York Times reports we slipped behind Husted by three points.

That’s why everyone here at Team Sherrod is asking for your help today. The only way we can afford to fight back, hire more organizers, and print more campaign fliers to share with voters across the state is if grassroots donors like you chip in now.

So please, will you rush $25 or even $5 right now to Sherrod Brown’s campaign? The path for Democrats to win the Senate goes straight through Ohio, so we absolutely cannot afford to lose this race.

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thank you,

Team Sherrod

When you love your country, you fight for the people who make it work.

Personal message from Sherrod: I didn’t plan on running for office again.

But when I saw how these guys in Washington are only looking out for their billionaire friends and special interests, I knew I had to get back in the fight.

This grassroots movement is about fighting back against a rigged system that benefits the wealthy and well-connected, while working people pay the price.

And we’ve got momentum: Experts increased our odds of winning and officially named Ohio as a key Senate race to watch, and two new polls show we have a slight lead over our opponent.

But I need your help: Corporate special interests have already spent millions attacking me with misleading ads. The only way we can fight back and win in Ohio is with grassroots contributions from supporters like you.

If you're with me, please chip in any amount today. If you'd like to become one of my TOP supporters and receive exclusive updates from our campaign team, text "OHIO" to 64054.

Thank you for standing with me.

Ebola in DRC: What the headlines won't tell you

Friend,

Children and families in the Democratic Republic of Congo are facing a fast-moving and deadly Ebola outbreak.

Children are already being disproportionately affected by this outbreak. We know the Ebola virus tends to be deadlier in children, with previous outbreaks having a 90% infant fatality rate and 80% in children under 4 — underscoring the urgent need to protect them and highlighting the importance of a child-centered response from the outset.

We’ve seen how drastically this virus has upended lives in the DRC. Today, we want to share some key reasons why children are the most at risk during an Ebola outbreak — and why your support is so vital.

You can get the latest updates on the situation in the DRC and learn more about our Ebola response here >>

1. Close contact with household members and caregivers

In the DRC, Marlène* holds her 2-month-old daughter as a health worker checks her temperature.

Young children are especially vulnerable to infections because of their frequent contact with other household members and caregivers — and they can deteriorate rapidly without early detection. Women and girls also face increased exposure as primary caregivers for sick families.

For pregnant and breastfeeding women like Marlène, this outbreak means constant worry about her newborn's well-being — and fear of passing the virus along to her child if she becomes infected. “For us, as breastfeeding mothers,” she said, “this is truly frightening.”

At a Save the Children health center, Marlène’s daughter received a health screening, and Marlène received guidance on preventive measures, including frequent handwashing and maintaining physical distance, which she now tries to follow carefully in her daily life.

2. Separation from family and caregivers

Marlène hands her newborn to a health worker for a screening.

When family members become infected, young children may suddenly lose access to their primary caregiver, the one who knows their medications, routine and specific needs.

This can cause both short-term challenges to their daily lives and care and long-term impacts on the health and well-being of children who lose parents, family members or caregivers.

3. Disruptions to routine health care

Marlène hopes that her community continues to receive assistance throughout this outbreak. “What we need here are gloves, medicines, handwashing facilities and soap. All of these can help protect us from this disease.”

During an outbreak, common services such as immunization, nutrition services and treatment for childhood illnesses may be delayed to prioritize people who’ve been infected.

In a country already plagued by violent conflict, displacement and acute hunger, this means the fragile healthcare system is being pushed to the limit. It also means fewer resources to treat malnutrition and other illnesses that were already devastating communities across the DRC.

Friend, Save the Children has been working in the DRC for decades. We were there within days of the last major Ebola outbreak, supporting hospitals, training health workers and countering the misinformation that was actively helping the virus spread.

Our teams are already here once again, reaching families across the country to contain the virus and ensure children’s survival. Amid this threatening virus, Save the Children will remain in communities to put children first.

We’ll keep you updated on our teams’ long-term response. In the meantime, learn more about the work we’ve been doing in the DRC.

Thank you for caring about the children who need us most.

Save the Children

P.S. You can send urgent support to children affected by the Ebola outbreak in the DRC with a gift to our Ebola Crisis Relief Fund. Your donation today will help ensure our teams can respond quickly and save lives.

The power of ordinary people:

Hi there, it's Ken Burns.

You might be wondering why I'm in your inbox today, and the short answer is because I care deeply about our country. But in case you're curious, this is the longer answer:

I've spent my life capturing American life and putting it on film – including for future generations to learn from.

That's why I'm reaching out to you today. I'm asking you to make a $5 contribution to my friend Sherrod Brown's campaign so that we can send a true fighter for American families to the Senate and take back the majority.

DONATE

I've seen the power of ordinary people, all across this beautiful country, when they rise up and stake a claim in their futures. I'm proud to have played a part in preserving that history for Americans down the line.

Which brings me to the moment we all face: The 2026 midterm elections. Arguably the most important of our lifetimes.

Right now, Sherrod Brown is facing off against Donald Trump's chosen candidate in an incredibly competitive election in Ohio.

In 10, 20, or even 100 years, we will look back on this race in Ohio as a defining moment in our history. And right now, you and I are going to decide how this moment will be remembered.

It's up to all of us to make sure Sherrod heads into the election with as much momentum as possible, so I'm coming to you humbly: Will you donate $5 to Sherrod Brown's campaign to help him win?

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important. And I wouldn't ask if I didn't know that your generosity would make a difference.

Thank you.

Ken Burns

Steyer buys his support, Katie earns it

We’re six days away from the June 2 primary.

Ballots are already being cast across California—and Tom Steyer has dumped over $213 million of his own money into this race making sure his voice drowns out yours.

Every dollar we raise right now helps compete with this flood of money and goes directly toward reaching undecided voters in these final days.

If that’s all you need to hear, rush a donation right now to help us hit our $250,000 voter outreach goal >>

Donate ›››

Tom Steyer is out of touch with the skyrocketing costs and tough choices Californians face every day. He's not earning support—he's buying this seat.

Katie understands this reality, because she’s lived it.

She's a single mom of three who pushes a shopping cart, clips coupons, and knows what it means to make hard choices to put her family first.

No amount of billionaire money could ever buy that kind of lived experience—and California deserves a Governor who’ll fight to lower costs, not one who relies on their checkbook.

Katie isn’t self-funding her campaign, and she’s not taking corporate PAC money. She relies on people like you stepping up because this campaign is accountable to the people it serves.

With just six days until the primary, can you chip in $5 to help us reach our $250,000 goal, get Katie’s message to voters in this final stretch, and keep California out of the hands of a billionaire?

Exciting news!

I have some exciting news!

Our first ad is out now. This is a huge moment for our campaign. Give it a look:

We’re going up on TV and digital channels across Alaska — making sure we reach as many voters as we can across the Last Frontier.

But there’s no denying that a big ad buy like this takes considerable resources. It’s one of the highest costs for our whole campaign, so we need your help to keep our ads running.

Can you watch our first ad and then split a $15 donation between Kirsten Gillibrand and my campaign today to keep it on the airwaves and online so we can reach more of the voters we need to win this race?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between Mary Peltola and Kirsten Gillibrand will go through immediately:

CHIP IN $15 NOW >>

CHIP IN $25 NOW >>

CHIP IN $50 NOW >>

CHIP IN $100 NOW >>

CHIP IN ANOTHER AMOUNT >>

Our first ad is an important, positive message that we want every Alaskan to hear. So our goal is to keep these running as long as we can.

But we’re up against a flood of dark money from my opponent. DC Republicans have already set aside $15 million to attack our campaign — and that’s with just ONE of their super PACs. More groups are planning to add even more fuel to the fire.

We don’t have to match them dollar for dollar, but we cannot allow them to drown us out. It’s going to take lots of people pitching in $5 or $25 whenever they can to help us keep our ads up and get our message out.

So please: Split a $15 donation right now to fight back and keep our ads up. The amount isn’t as important as the donation itself. All that matters is that you give because it all adds up when lots of people pitch in together.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between Mary Peltola and Kirsten Gillibrand will go through immediately:

CHIP IN $15 NOW >>

CHIP IN $25 NOW >>

CHIP IN $50 NOW >>

CHIP IN $100 NOW >>

CHIP IN ANOTHER AMOUNT >>

I hope you take a moment to watch and donate to help us keep it on TV and online.

All of this is made possible by your support!

Thank you,

Mary
