John,

Now that the midterm elections are over, it’s time for us to pivot to the future. Right now, our number one priority is making sure we have the resources we need to power our work as we prepare for another extensive round of recruitment.

Every step of the campaign process takes time and resources, so even though one election just ended, it’s our responsibility to start looking ahead. We’ve been reviewing our budget, including checking where we’re at now compared to previous cycles:

Time Period	Amount
November 2022:	$62,903
November 2020:	$114,856
Difference:	–$51,953

John, this time in 2020 we were way ahead in our fundraising, so we need to make up this $51,953 difference ASAP. We’re being transparent with you in the hopes that you’ll step in and help us close the gap.

We’re not asking for you to donate any more than you can afford — even $5 will help us along. Can you pitch in $5, $3, or more so we can get back on track?

Contribute $3

Here’s the thing about our work: it doesn’t stop (ever). That’s because we’re truly committed to building an entire new generation of progressives in Congress. It takes a lot to go up against Democratic leadership and far-right Super PACs.

We’re serious about our fundraising because the right amount of money can make the difference between winning and losing a race — and we plan to grow the Squad with every election year.

We helped Summer Lee and Greg Casar win in a huge victory for our movement. But if we don’t start to raise funds at a much higher rate now, it will significantly impair our work down the line — a possibility we want to avoid.

Support from our grassroots base makes all the difference to us when things are tight. Will you take a moment and contribute, John?

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
