John,

Here at JD, we believe that our elections and campaigns should be powered by the people, not dark money groups and special interests. We’re a grassroots movement funded by supporters like you — because we refuse to be beholden to corporations.

We will never accept a single cent of corporate PAC money. But we’re still the exception. We can never have a real democracy as long as corporations and dark money groups can influence the outcome of elections.

Nine out of ten times, the candidate with more money in a race wins — and if that’s corporate PAC money, it comes with strings attached. That’s why our Justice Democrats ran and won without any corporate PAC money, proving it can be done.

Imagine elections without any corporate influence — that’s the future we want to build. Will you chip in $3 today so we can recruit the bold candidates who will fight to make it a reality?

Contribute $3

Legislation needs to put our people first, not profit — and that can’t happen when our elected representatives are being influenced by corporations and industries.

Allowing corporate groups to continue bankrolling elections just creates major ethical issues when their chosen candidates actually start legislating. Justice Democrat Summer Lee is speaking out against the clear conflict of interest and we’re with her.

That’s exactly why JD exists: to show that we can run people-powered campaigns and win. AOC, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Summer Lee — we’ve proved over and over again that we don’t need to sacrifice principles to send progressive champions to Congress.

But we need to make change on a bigger scale, and if we want to change the way elections are funded, we need to keep expanding our progressive bloc with every cycle. Can you rush $3 or more as we work around the clock to find our next Justice Democrats to join the Squad and fight for campaign finance reform?

Thank you,

Team JD
