John,
I’m going to speak plainly: I’m worried that if we don’t start raising a
lot more money, our incumbent Justice Democrats and our next primary
challengers could lose.
Let me explain.
On Tuesday night, Kina Collins — a young Black woman from the West Side of
Chicago — took on the Chicago political machine without a cent of
corporate PAC money. The Democratic establishment spent so much money on
the race, we just couldn’t overcome it. Pres. Biden and Speaker Pelosi
endorsed our opponent in order to stop Kina’s fight for Medicare for All,
a Green New Deal, and real investments in her communities.
Jessica Cisneros lost by just a few hundred votes to anti-abortion,
pro-NRA Henry Cuellar. Again, millions in corporate Super PAC money, Big
Oil, and private prison companies lined up against Jessica and Justice
Democrats, and we came up just short. Jessica’s race would’ve been
different if Pelosi hadn’t campaigned for an anti-abortion incumbent and
the establishment hadn’t spent millions to stop a progressive woman of
color.
If we had just a little more money, there’s a real chance we could have
lifted Kina and Jessica to victory. [ [link removed] ]If we want to win more primary
challenges and protect the Squad while we’re up against millions in
corporate Super PAC spending and endorsements from Nancy Pelosi, we need
our grassroots supporters to step up. Can you donate $3
today to help us take on the political establishment and elect progressive
fighters to Congress?

It’s not just Kina and Jessica. On Tuesday, our first incumbent Justice
Democrat lost a primary. Democratic redistricting threw Marie Newman into
a difficult primary against another incumbent that had backing from much
of the Democratic establishment. After defeating a conservative,
anti-abortion Democratic incumbent in 2020 and fighting unapologetically
for the people in Congress, Marie came up short in her latest primary.
JD incumbents Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, and Rashida Tlaib still have
competitive primaries this year. And corporate Democrats and Republican
billionaires are spending millions to try to unseat our most outspoken
advocates in Congress. A corporate Super PAC has already announced it’s
spending $1 million against Rashida.
The establishment will do everything it can to defeat Justice Democrats.
The establishment will spend as much money as it can to defeat us. Big
money and the establishment stopped our movement from powering Kina,
Jessica, and Marie to victory, but we can’t keep letting this happen.
Nearly 90% of Congressional races are won by the candidate with more
money. We’ve won races with less money before, but we have to
significantly close the fundraising gap in our races — or we don’t have a
chance.
We’ve seen what can happen when we get outspent by corporate Super PACs
with access to unlimited funds. Now, we need to make sure we’re prepared
to protect the Squad in their primaries and build up our fundraising for
the future.

against the corporate-backed Democratic establishment? We’ve changed
politics in a big way since first helping elect AOC in 2018, but we need
your support to keep changing politics.

I am so grateful to have your support. We run on donations from folks
giving $5, $27, $50 at a time — our average donation this year is $18.12.
And that’s how it should be, fueled by the people, not corporate PACs.
If just 1 out of every 10 people reading this email chipped in, it would
be a huge boost for us heading into important primaries for Cori, Jamaal,
and Rashida.
Thank you so much.
In solidarity,
Alexandra Rojas, Executive Director
