John,

It’s May Day, otherwise known as International Workers’ Day, and thousands
of working-class people are protesting and taking action to send a clear
message: we’re sick and tired of an economy that only works for the rich
and powerful.

People are angry, and they should be. In the wealthiest country in the
world, 1 in 4 Americans are using buy-now, pay-later financing services
just to afford groceries.

[ [link removed] ]Headline from Fortune magazine, reading "A quarter of U.S. consumers
are now financing groceries with buy-now, pay-later as economic pressures
mount, survey says." Subhead reads "More than 40% of buy-now, pay-later
users made a late payment in the past year, according to data from Lending
Tree." The headline is accompanied with an image of a man in a Frozen Food
aisle of a grocery store, looking at the freezer shelves.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump, his billionaire backers like Elon Musk, and the
far-right majority in Congress are trying to rip away our Social Security,
Medicare, and Medicaid, cutting federal funding for critical public
services like education and food assistance, letting corporate
price-gouging run rampant, and rolling back workers’ rights — all to serve
the rich and keep corporate tax breaks flowing.

And we know why. Millionaires, billionaires, and corporate super PACs have
hijacked our democracy. Ever since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United
ruling in 2010, our elections have been flooded with corporate cash.

In 2024 alone, just 150 billionaire families spent nearly $2 billion on
our elections, trying to buy influence, push corporate Democrats into
power, and secure a Republican trifecta in Washington.

It’s happening on BOTH sides of the aisle: corporate donors are buying
seats in Congress, and working-class communities are paying the price.
That’s exactly what’s happened in Michigan’s 13th district, and we’re
trying to fix it.

In 2026, it’s the working class vs. the billionaires, and it starts in
Michigan’s 13th congressional district.

Working-class progressive Donavan McKinney is taking on out-of-touch,
self-funded multimillionaire Rep. Shri Thanedar, who’s backed by the
Crypto lobby and other corporate PACs.

This is the first 2026 primary race to test the strength of our
working-class, progressive movement. If Donavan and other JD candidates
are going to stand a chance against these powerful opponents and their war
chests, we need people like you in our corner NOW.
