 | | |  | | Can I tell you a story, friend? | | In place of the official Senate pin, I wear a pin depicting a yellow canary in a birdcage. It was given to me decades ago by a Lorain steelworker at a Workers' Memorial Day rally. | | The pin hearkens back to the early 1900s, when coal miners would bring canaries deep into the mines to warn them of poisonous gases. Back then, workers didn't have a union strong enough – or a government that cared enough – to protect them. | | Together, we changed that. We passed worker safety laws and overtime pay. We banned child labor. We passed clean air and safe drinking water laws. We enacted Social Security and Medicare, and we made progress protecting women's rights and civil rights. | | My canary pin inspires me to keep pushing – because while we've come a long way, our fight for the dignity of all work is far from over. I'm all in to continue this important fight, but I won't be able to win reelection without sustained grassroots support from folks like you.
That's why I'm personally asking: Will you start a monthly donation now to become a member of my "Canary Club" – a group of top supporters dedicated to winning in Ohio and defending the Senate? | | | | The truth is, I'm facing my toughest reelection yet, friend. Polls show me neck and neck with my potential GOP opponents. CNN says I'm one of the most vulnerable senators up for reelection. And Mitch McConnell has named me one of his top targets for defeat – because he knows this battleground race could decide the balance of the Senate. | | To fight back, our campaign relies on a steady stream of small-dollar donations from folks who believe in our mission as much as we do. It's the key to taking on the GOP's mega donors and protecting this seat.
So please, start a monthly donation now to become one of the essential Canary Club members we need to win in Ohio, defend the Senate, and keep up the fight for working families across the country. | | | | Thank you. I'm humbled to have you standing with me in this fight.
In solidarity, |  | | | | | | |
