The Democratic establishment was scared when AOC won in 2018.

John, do you remember the DCCC blacklist?

After AOC defeated one of the most powerful, entrenched incumbents in Congress, the DCCC announced a new policy that would blacklist vendors who worked with candidates who ran primary campaigns against incumbent Democrats.

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 with your support, we continued to win races despite the odds stacked against us.

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. 

Even though the DCCC officially ended their blacklist policy, we’re still not surprised House Speaker Nancy Pelosi supported conservative, anti-abortion and pro-NRA Democrat Henry Cuellar against Justice Democrat Jessica Cisneros. She lost by fewer than 300 votes. 

We don’t just need more Democrats in Congress, but BETTER Democrats. 

While we fight for Medicare for All and a Green New Deal, corporate Democrats like Pelosi, Cuellar, and many others will try to protect corporate profits and the status quo. John, will you donate today to help us re-elect the Squad in November and even grow our bloc in Congress?

→ Yes, I can contribute right now to help Justice Democrats overcome the odds and grow the Squad in Congress.
