Hey John, Geoff Simpson here — Justice Democrats’ Campaigns Director.
Right now, we’re halfway through the month of August and taking stock of our grassroots fundraising. Unfortunately, we’re not quite where we need to be, so we’ve set a mid month goal of $43,000 to get back on track.
As we speak, some of our biggest and most powerful opponents are already preparing for 2024. AIPAC has millions of dollars at their disposal, and they’re actively recruiting candidates to run against Justice Democrat incumbents, including members of the Squad like Ilhan Omar and Jamaal Bowman.
It’s no secret: Justice Democrats is feeling the downturn in grassroots fundraising during this off-year, and we know opponents like AIPAC see our numbers and think they can take our movement out for good so they can maintain the corporate-fueled status quo.
Supporters like you are the only thing standing in their way.
If we’re going to defend our Justice Democrats incumbents AND expand our progressive movement in Congress for the long-term, we need to catch up now and be ready to fight back in the days ahead.
Thanks for everything you do to power Justice Democrats forward,
Geoff Simpson, Campaigns Director
