John,



We won some historic climate spending in the Inflation Reduction Act
passed by the Senate yesterday. We won $369 billion of investments in
clean energy. We won a 40% carbon emissions cut by 2030. We won the
biggest piece of climate legislation in American history (so far).

Justice Democrats were an integral part of this landmark achievement.

$3 to help us continue the fight for critical progressive
policies?

First, Justice Democrats formed after the Bernie Sanders 2016 campaign in
order to elect a new generation of progressive leaders who could replace
corporate-backed Democrats in Congress.

We went all-in behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s insurgent 2018 primary
against the 4th most powerful Democrat in the House, Joe Crowley. And we
won — shaking the political establishment in a huge way.

Then, as soon as AOC got to Capitol Hill, she joined a historic protest
with Sunrise Movement and Justice Democrats in Speaker Pelosi’s office,
demanding that Democrats come up with a Green New Deal industrial plan to
address the climate crisis.

Over the next three and a half years, the Squad, Sunrise, Justice
Democrats, and many others protested, organized, and fought to make
climate legislation a top priority for voters. Democratic lawmakers were
forced to take this issue seriously.

with voters, research suggests' and subheadline reads 'Concern about
global warming is steady despite other crises, a survey found, and the
number of voters who are deeply engaged on the issue is rising sharply.'

Our organizing helped lead to AOC and Sunrise getting appointed to form
Biden’s climate agenda. Eventually, major investments and commitments to
slash emissions and create clean energy jobs made it into the Inflation
Reduction Act.

Climate Bill' and subheadline reads 'The historic legislation could
significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions'

John, Justice
Democrats will never stop showing up for the fight for action to address
the climate crisis. We need your support to keep electing leaders who will
join AOC and the Squad in this fight. Can you chip in today?

climate leaders and pass transformative climate legislation.

The historic climate spending in the Inflation Reduction Act is the result
of years of organizing by communities, young people, and the Green New
Deal movement. It's the result of the power we currently have and we need
more to make this the first chapter of our fight, not the last. Thank you
for fighting alongside us.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
