John,

It’s 2016. Bernie Sanders shocked the establishment and mounted a historic challenge for the Democratic nomination. And then — the Democratic establishment lost against Trump.

It was clear that the party insiders and political machine could not be trusted to protect our democracy or fight for our people. We needed a new path forward.

So we built it ourselves. Justice Democrats was formed by people who gave our all to the progressive movement Bernie brought together and were ready to create the infrastructure to keep the momentum going for years to come.

We set out to change Congress by recruiting and electing a diverse slate of working people who share real-life experiences with the communities they represent. And we have, thanks to support from thousands of people like you who share our vision.

We’re ready to do it all again, but our work hinges on donations we receive from emails like this one. So we’re humbly asking: will you donate $3 to help us build our slate of Justice Democrats and grow our movement once more?

Contribute $3

Our mission is simple. But when our politics has been consumed by corporate money, elections favor entrenched incumbents, and far-right groups like AIPAC are laser-focused on taking our candidates down, it takes an incredible amount of work just to get regular, working people elected to Congress.

That needs to change, and we will change it — but right now, we still need major resources to pull off the scale of work we have to do to find AND elect new Justice Democrats.

It’s our job to think about the long-term, which is why we’re starting our 2024 candidate recruitment so early. Planning this far in advance gives us the time to go deep into communities to find our future leaders — that can’t be rushed. It’s too important.

That’s why when we say your donation today makes a difference, we truly mean it. Your support allows us to really invest in finding our candidates right now.

So what do you say, John? Whether it’s $5 or $250, every donation helps — can we count on yours today?

We’re here for the long-term, and we hope you are too. Thank you for your support.

In solidartiy,

Justice Democrats
