Nearly 90% of Congressional races are won by the candidate who spends more money. It’s a tough reality, John, but it’s what we’re up against in our races.

In 2018, AOC’s victory against one of the highest-ranking Democrats in Congress shocked the political establishment to the core for that very reason. It’s incredibly hard to pull off, but it’s not impossible.

AOC’s opponent in 2018 spent at least 5 times more than she did before their primary election. But we recruited AOC and helped her craft an authentic message and build a strong campaign – and the people responded.

Since then, we’ve been able to close the spending gap as we grow the Squad. But now establishment groups are spending millions with corporate PACs to smear our candidates. Centrist and right-wing groups, corporations, Wall Street, Big Oil, and Big Tech all started flooding money into our races to keep progressives out.

We’re shocking the political establishment precisely because our grassroots support is so strong. We do our best to match their unlimited resources with donations of $3, $18.21 (our average donation), $27 or more from folks like you. We rely on your support because we never take a cent from corporate PACs.

And we use your donations strategically, John. We build campaigns to win, help our candidates hire staff, set up field organizing operations, support media strategies, and so much more.

It takes a lot of money to win our primaries and transform the Democratic Party, especially when our opponents are bankrolled by Wall Street and the Democratic establishment.

Will you make your first $5 donation so we can elect more Justice Democrats in 19 days and continue to transform the Democratic Party?

→ Yes, I can give $5 or more to Justice Democrats to help grow the Squad in 2022 and beyond!
