John — Barbara is the OG Squad member.

Long before it was popular, Barbara was taking tough votes to stand up for progressive values and hold leaders from both parties accountable — in fact, she was the ONLY representative to oppose the authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) after 9/11.

Barbara was on her own for years, but thanks to grassroots campaigns just like this one, the progressive wing of our party is as powerful and emboldened as ever before.

John, we need to protect and expand our majorities in Congress and ensure we are electing a Democratic caucus as progressive as we are. Will you chip in to support the OG progressive and help us hit our mid-month goal ahead of the FEC deadline?

From being Congress’ most outspoken opponent of the Iraq War to advocating for ending not just HIV/AIDS, but also the stigmatization and discrimination around it, Barbara has established herself as one of the most trusted progressive voices in Washington.

And Barbara isn’t just one of the House’s longest-standing progressive members, she’s also the only African American woman in Democratic Leadership.

She helped pave the way for progressives and women of color in Congress, and now we need to have her back while she continues to influence the Democratic agenda.

Barbara has stood up for us and our values time and time again. Chip in now to help us hit our mid-month goal and keep her in the fight:
