John,

We got into this work for two reasons:

First, we saw the scale of crises we were facing and knew the political establishment would not rise to meet them without an intervention.

Second, we knew we could build our own power from the ground up, and lead with a better vision for our politics, our people, and our country.

We know you’re here because you share that vision. Like us, you believe in the hard work of transforming our democracy & the Democratic Party from the inside out. We work year-round, cycle after cycle, to recruit, train, endorse, support, and elect new generations of progressives who will fight for working people.

Today, we get to go out and vote for leaders in our own communities who will fight for us — and in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Texas, voters have the chance to elect our Justice Democrats. A lot is on the line. So if you have the right to vote, we urge you to exercise it and vote today, because your choice does matter.

We are in this work for the long run, which means we will be ready tomorrow to wake up and keep fighting, no matter what — and we hope you’ll be with us when you do. But today, please do all you can for your community — and go vote!

Thank you for being a part of this movement with us.

More soon,

Team JD
