John —
Did you see this recent headline from Politico?
Massive corporations and establishment leaders agree on one thing — they want to sabotage our efforts to pass a Green New Deal and Medicare for All.
This is why we’re fighting so hard to elect a new generation of progressive Democrats in 2020. Without them, we’ll never be able to get our urgent priorities passed. But right now, we’re behind on a critical end-of-month goal.
Just this week, Marist released a poll showing that our progressive policies are overwhelmingly popular — even with moderates and Independent voters. 77% of people 18-38 support the Green New Deal, regardless of party. 64% of Midwesterners. 69% of self-identified “moderates.”
But establishment leadership is stuck in the past, and their big money donors are doing everything in their power to influence the party away from supporting what the people want. Large corporations might not be fans of Medicare for All or a Green New Deal, but we the voters definitely are.
Our current Justice Democrats in Congress have already done an incredible job of fighting for these issues and bringing them to the national stage. But they need pressure from organizations like ours and more allies in Congress if we’re finally going to pass Medicare for All, move forward with a Green New Deal, and end the detention camps on the border.
We refuse all corporate funding, and 98% of our support comes from small-dollar grassroots donations like the one we’re asking you for today — because we’re a movement built by the people, fighting to build a democracy for all of the people.
In solidarity
Justice Democrats
