John,
While Speaker Nancy Pelosi campaigned for conservative anti-abortion Democrat Henry Cuellar in the TX-28 primary for the House, Justice Democrats fought in support of Jessica Cisneros — a progressive, pro-choice woman of color.
Even after the Supreme Court leaked their opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, corporate Democrats stood with Cuellar. Cuellar is so extreme on abortion, he accepted an award from a right-wing anti-abortion group called March for Life. And now after the Court’s Roe decision, the Democratic establishment isn’t taking the bold action we need in order to protect abortion access in America.
It’s leaders like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the first candidate we helped elect to Congress, who are speaking out for bold, critical action to ensure people can get abortion care. At Justice Democrats, we know we can’t just elect Democrats, we have to elect BETTER Democrats.
Republican mega-donors and corporate Super PACs have spent more money against Justice Democrats this cycle than ever before — because corporations and the donor class want to protect the status quo. Justice Democrats is fighting to upend the status quo — to protect abortion access, pass Medicare for All, secure a Green New Deal, and so much more.
The Democratic Party is spending resources to STOP our candidates. They worked hard to protect anti-abortion Cuellar instead of supporting Jessica, the candidate who supported abortion rights and union organizing. It’s time for the Democratic Party to support a new generation of leaders, not incumbents aligned with pro-life extremist groups and fossil fuel companies. It’s backward.
Will you help us re-elect Justice Democrats — the leaders that will fight for the people, not billionaire right-wing donors?
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
