John —

Look at how much we’ve accomplished with just a few JDs in Congress. Can you imagine what progressives would be capable of doing if we had another 5, 10, 20, or 30?

That’s our future, and every day Justice Democrats is working hard to make it happen. That’s why we’re not done endorsing new candidates, and we have some incredible news for you today:

Today, we’re proud to announce the next three members of that generation: Morgan Harper (OH-03), Alex Morse (MA-01), and Kara Eastman (NE-02). Help them start their campaigns strong by donating $3 directly today:

Each of these new Justice Democrat candidates will be powerful champions for justice — and incredible allies in the fight to pass a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, campaign finance reform, and an end to mass incarceration and deportation.

Morgan Harper is part of a new wave of progressive Democrats pledging to reject corporate PAC donations and fight unapologetically for working people. She worked as a senior advisor at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), protecting consumers against predatory lenders, and then used her skills at the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), which invests in creating opportunities in under-resourced communities. Morgan has seen firsthand the impacts of poverty and an economy that does not work for all, and she’s dedicated her life to changing it.

Alex Morse is the first openly gay mayor of Holyoke, Massachusetts, and revitalized his community by investing in new green jobs. Even though he’s only 30 years old, he’s taking on the 30 year incumbent Richard Neal, who is one of the top recipients of PAC money in Congress. Neal’s spent decades in the pocket of big business and massive corporations, and it’s time to replace him with a new progressive leader who will hold those corporations accountable — not pander to them.

Kara Eastman nearly pulled off an incredible upset victory against Don Bacon in 2018 — losing in the Republican district by a mere 5,000 votes. But despite her proven record of galvanizing voters with powerful progressive ideals, the DCCC is already trying to undermine her campaign by recruiting a different challenger in 2020. Kara showed the entire nation that you don’t need to give up your progressive ideals to run a competitive campaign, and that fighting for the issues that center the diverse, working-class people of this country is a strategy that can win.

These leaders have incredible potential, but they’re up against powerful establishment and Republican forces. Will you split a donation between all three today to help launch their campaigns, and fight for a new generation of progressive leaders?

Every day, we’re building a democracy that works for the people. That effort wouldn’t be possible without people like you, standing up for our shared progressive values. Thank you.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
