John, after the
latest wave of progressive primaries, we saw this piece — and we couldn’t
agree more.
[ [link removed] ]Headline from Salon reads To keep winning, progressives must do more
than grassroots organizing: we need money. Sub-headline reads Summer Lee's
victory shows how progressives can beat super PACs: by fighting - and
winning - the money war
Corporate Super PACs affiliated with AIPAC, Silicon Valley billionaires,
and corporate Democrats in Washington will continue spending millions
against our candidates, just like they did against Summer Lee and Jessica
Cisneros. We have no choice but to increase the amount of grassroots
funding we have on the progressive side.
Despite $3 million of right-wing foreign policy hawk money spent against
Summer, her fundraising and our progressive coalition’s resources kept her
within roughly a 2-to-1 spending disadvantage. Summer and our coalition
spent a little over $2 million on her primary, while corporate Democrats
and billionaires spent about $4.5 million against us.
Here’s the reality: the Democratic establishment was caught off-guard when
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeated the 4th most powerful Democrat in the
House in 2018. They were still on their heels when Cori Bush and Jamaal
Bowman defeated corporate Democrats in 2020. They are not taking us for
granted any longer,
John.
Our next primary is on June 28th, when Kina Collins takes on a corporate
Pelosi-backed 26-year incumbent Democrat in Chicago. Super PACs are
already spending big money against Kina. And corporate donors helped her
opponent raise over $400,000 last quarter. We need your help to win this
race.
This is such a critical moment for our movement. [ [link removed] ]Can you split a
donation to Kina’s campaign and Justice Democrats to make sure we can win
this race? If we collectively can fund just 50% of what corporate
Democrats are spending on this race, we know we can be competitive.
