John,



The Democratic establishment was reeling after AOC defeated the 4th most
powerful Democrat in the House. The Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee (DCCC) was scrambling so much to stop progressives that it
created a Blacklist.

What was the DCCC blacklist? It started in early 2019 and it blacklisted
any vendors, staffers, and organizations that supported primary
challengers to Democratic incumbents — officially putting the interests of
a handful of corporate-backed, conservative Democrats above the will of
Democratic voters.

Why did the DCCC do it? House leadership was afraid more Justice Democrats
like AOC and Ayanna Pressley would defeat long-time incumbents. They were
afraid of the Squad growing. They were afraid of a stronger challenge to
the corporate-backed establishment in Congress.

The DCCC was trying to block working-class progressives from a slew of
critical campaign resources. But Justice Democrats were ready to meet this
anti-democratic policy.

Two of our recruits, Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, still defeated long-time
corporate incumbents in 2020 while the DCCC Blacklist was in effect. We
were not afraid of the Democratic establishment and we continue to win
races despite the odds stacked against us.

corporate-backed Democratic establishment, we need the help of our
grassroots supporters. John,
can you chip in $3 to help
us run strong campaigns and elect more Justice Democrats?

The DCCC announced an end to the blacklist after the 2020 elections — it
was more of a PR nightmare for them than an effective tool against
progressive primaries.

But we’re not surprised that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to
support corporate Democrats like Henry Cuellar and Danny Davis against our
primary challengers instead of using her time and resources to protect her
Democratic majority. It’s too important for corporate Democrats to protect
their corporate donors — and that means fighting progressives.

Justice Democrats started because we can’t just elect Democrats, we have
to elect BETTER Democrats — progressive leaders like AOC, Ayanna, Cori,
Jamaal and others who fight for Medicare for All and a Green New Deal.

Pelosi chose Cuellar in TX-28 against Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros.
Cuellar voted against abortion rights, labor rights, AND worked to block
Build Back Better, all in the last two years. Those are huge parts of the
Democratic agenda. But Pelosi still backed Cuellar.

While we fight for economic, social, racial, and environmental justice,
corporate Democrats like Pelosi, Cuellar and Davis will try to protect
corporate profits and the status quo.

We don’t take a cent from corporate PACs. Meanwhile, corporate Democrats
take money from Wall Street, Big Oil, Big Pharma, payday loan companies,
and union-busters. It’s clear: Justice Democrats will fight for the
people, the Democratic establishment will work for their corporate donors.

Congress.

Thank you for all that you do to support our work and our primary

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
