John,
Justice Democrats has always been a grassroots organization. We don’t take corporate PAC money. Instead, we fundraise directly from the people, which is why our average donation is just $18.12.
We’re proud of everything we’ve been able to achieve through our people-powered movement, but it does mean we have to work a lot harder to fundraise when our movement is against millions of dollars in dark money spending.
That’s exactly why we want to be really transparent with you about our fundraising this month, vs October of last year:
Month | Amount Raised |
October 2022: | $112,571 |
October 2021: | $135,539 |
Difference: | –$22,968 |
As you can see, we’re almost $23,000 behind where we were a year ago. It’s a tough position to be in, but the good news is we still have one day left to go before our end-of-month deadline tonight. Tomorrow we’ll be one week out from Election Day, and we have to be back on track by then.
With enough help from people like you, we can turn things around today and reach our goal of $110,000 by midnight. These resources will allow us to shore up last-minute support for our candidates so we can send them to Congress and expand the Squad once more.
We’re so thankful for your support.
More soon,
Team JD
