WOW. The response by DFA members to what Bernie Sanders said last night has been incredible. Despite our defeat in New York, Bernie supporters are stepping up when it matters the most -- as we have every time Bernie has needed us during this unprecedented people-powered campaign.

With your help, we can help Bernie narrow the pledged delegate gap on April 26 so he can close the gap for good on June 7. To help Bernie shock the establishment (again) on Tuesday, please double down right now by chipping in $3 or more to Bernie's campaign and DFA today. Thank you for getting Bernie's back at this very critical moment. -- Eden James, Political Director, Democracy for America

Bernie lost New York tonight, but the battle for the nomination continues. Five states vote one week from tonight -- Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.

If Bernie does well on April 26, it will set up an epic showdown on June 7 in six states, including California's massive 475 pledged delegates.

Here's what Bernie just said about tonight's results:

"What’s important is that it looks like we’re going win a lot more delegates in New York than any state that voted or caucused before tonight.

So what does that mean? Five important states vote one week from tonight, with more delegates at stake than Hillary Clinton led by coming into tonight. And if we do well next Tuesday, we remain in a position to take the pledged delegate lead when almost 700 delegates are up-for-grabs on June 7."

Bernie's right. Now we need to make sure his campaign has the resources it needs to turn voters on April 26.

Can you chip in $3 or more right now to Bernie Sanders and DFA to give our political revolution a big boost in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island on Tuesday, April 26?

All across this country, voters are learning more about Bernie and our political revolution -- and the better they get to know him, the more they are convinced that he would be the best choice for the Democratic Party.

The national polls -- including the most recent polls from NBC News and FOX -- are showing significant momentum for Bernie, with most agreeing that he and Hillary are now statistically tied with Democratic voters.

We have one week left to show the voters who are going to the polls next Tuesday that our movement is for real, that it is growing, and that together, we can win the presidency and take this country back from the 1%.

This is urgent -- April 26 is seven days away. Will you pitch in $3 or more right now to support Bernie Sanders and DFA as we ramp up for a massive Get Out The Vote push in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island?

Thanks for helping us build this political revolution in every single state in this country.
