John —

We all knew that the DCCC was doing everything it could to protect the old
Democratic Party — one that bowed to rich donors, that pandered to massive
corporations, and that protected out-of-touch incumbents. But we didn’t
realize that that it had evolved into an actual points system:

Generally speaking, these points can be redeemed for favors from
leadership — they symbolize your loyalty to the DCCC, and what you’re owed
in return.

And yes, those are the only things you can do to earn points. If you raise
tens of thousands of dollars from mega donors, you get a lot of points.
But If you register new voters in your district, you get nothing.

But more importantly, those points can affect what committee positions you
get as a representative. In other words, your total fundraising can affect
your say on issues like the climate crisis, renewable energy, gun policy,
and so much more.

critical issues like the Green New Deal just because of how much money
they can raise from rich corporate donors, then donate

It gets worse. This year, AOC raised over $90,000 for progressive,
front-line Democrats with her digital fundraising program. But the DCCC
said that didn’t count for any points.

Their system is geared to benefit representatives who raise high-dollar
money, and specifically penalizes you if you try to raise that money from
small-dollar, grassroots donors. That’s the Democratic Party of the past,
not the future.

[ [link removed] ]Here’s the reality: our institutions need structural change if we’re
going to have a Democratic Party that reflects the values of the diverse,
working-class people of this nation. Will you donate
$3
to help us elect progressive leaders who will fight for that future?

Thanks for all that you do,

Justice Democrats
