John,

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from journalist Akela Lacy featuring a photo of Melat Kiros
smiling outdoors with blurred buildings in the background. The tweet
reads: 'NEW: She was fired for speaking about Palestine. Now she’s running
for Congress against a 30-year incumbent and is the 6th candidate to win
the endorsement of Justice Democrats. I interviewed Melat Kiros on her
campaign to end U.S. military aid to Israel.'

Voters in Colorado’s 1st district have had the same Congresswoman for 28
years, yet prices keep rising and far-right authoritarianism is here.

Clearly, the Democratic Party — including corporate-backed incumbents like
Rep. Diana DeGette — is on autopilot.

Working-class progressive Melat Kiros is challenging DeGette in next
year’s Democratic primary to change that, and Justice Democrats proudly
has her back.

Check out the buzz our sixth 2026 Democratic primary endorsement is
making:

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from NBC News featuring a close-up photo of Rep. Diana DeGette
speaking, with an out-of-focus American flag in the background. The tweet
reads: 'Justice Democrats, a national progressive group, endorses Melat
Kiros, a lawyer and barista, in her campaign against Democratic Rep. Diana
DeGette in Colorado's 1st District.'

We’re on a mission to replace out-of-touch Democrats like DeGette with
real fighters for the people in the halls of power. Melat — a barista and
renter who lost her job as a lawyer for defending pro-Palestine protests —
will bring new leadership to Denver rooted in moral courage and unburdened
by corporate PACs.

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from Max Cohen (@maxpcohen) reading 'New: @justicedems is
endorsing Melat Kiros’ challenge to Diana DeGette in #CO01. Kiros: 'Even
Democrats who say they vote the right way are beholden to the same
billionaires who keep our prices high, burn our planet and profit from a
genocide.' It include a preview of a YouTube video titled 'Justice
Democrats endorse Melat Kiros'

Take it from Melat: “Denver deserves leadership with a backbone, not
backed by corporations. I lost my law firm job when I refused to stay
quiet about the genocide happening in Palestine. That’s the urgency and
moral clarity I’m bringing to this race, and it’s why I’m proud to be
endorsed by Justice Democrats.”
