It’s now or never

John: Ten days. We have ten days left to elect our candidates, make history, and send a new generation of Justice Democrats to join the Squad. We’re doing everything we can to raise the resources we need — we set an end-of-the-month goal of $110,000 — because it’s now or never. We’re working…

Our races are tight...

Voters are deciding right now. John, In 2018, we did what some thought impossible: we recruited AOC and helped her topple one of the most powerful Democrats in Congress. In 2020, we did it again when Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush won against their entrenched incumbents. We defied the odds. We …

A transparent look at our numbers this month

Our goal before November 1st John, this is a grassroots powered organization. Most other political organizations wouldn’t even consider doing this, but we’re going to be really transparent with you and show you a screenshot from our ActBlue fundraising dashboard this month: We’re setting a g…

Dark money and dirty tricks

Hi, John. Since Justice Democrats recruited Summer Lee, we helped her run a historic campaign in PA-12, overcome the odds, and win the Democratic primary. Right now we’re laser-focused on ensuring Summer gets elected on November 8. In the last month alone, Super PACs have spent millions of d…

The Squad + Summer

Will the Squad and I see you on Sunday? John, You’re invited to a unique event that will make a huge impact in this race. This is a critical election year which will determine if Democrats can keep — or even strengthen — their Congressional majorities. We need to do all we can to continue to…

Just $18.36

John, With your support, over the last four years we’ve made history after we recruited and helped elect AOC, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman. Now in less than two weeks, we have a chance to once again expand the Squad and increase our power in Congress by electing Summer Lee, Greg Casar, and …

Why they blacklisted us 👀

John, here’s the story… In 2018, AOC defeated the 4th most powerful Democrat in the House. Corporate Democrats were reeling from their defeat. The DCCC went to extreme lengths to stop progressives like AOC from ever winning again. The DCCC blacklisted any vendors, staffers, and organizations…

[Add your name] Support the RAP Act

Since 2020, prosecutors in over 500 criminal cases have used artists’ lyrics as evidence against the artist in court. John, Rap is expression, it is literature, it is poetry. But at its core is freedom of speech. Rappers are the journalists of their communities — taking on the role of storyt…

Urgent: 7 hours left!!

John, We’re here with an urgent update: we have just 7 hours left until the midnight deadline we set to get our fundraising back on track. We’re not far off from our goal of raising $15,000, but we really need to get all the way there. As a reminder, John: we can’t afford to fall behind 17 …

We can’t afford to fall behind

John, Electing progressives and expanding the Squad doesn’t come cheap. No amount of money could compare to building progressive power and transforming our country. It’s worth it, but we still have to raise that money on our own — we’re talking hundreds of hours and lots of money that we in…

Nearly 90% of races

We’re up against dark money and establishment groups with unlimited resources. Nearly 90% of Congressional races are won by the candidate who spends more money. It’s a tough reality, John, but it’s what we’re up against in our races. In 2018, AOC’s victory against one of the highest-ranking D…

Us vs. them

John, From the beginning, Justice Democrats has been here to elect new kinds of leaders. This is what we’re facing: almost half of all members of Congress are millionaires. Over three quarters, or 77%, of all members of Congress are white. 473 members of Congress accept donations from corpo…

The political system is rigged against us.

We have to fight back against the establishment. John, Earlier this year, a billionaire gave the House Majority PAC $6,000,000 — a PAC with ties to Nancy Pelosi — but now he’s cutting off the campaign contributions to actually help Democrats keep the House in November. Billionaires and Super…

Tired of this hypocrisy

John, We’re tired of the hypocrisy coming from corporate Democrats. Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leaders can’t claim they disagree with Republicans while they fight progressives tooth and nail on the same issues. This is the same House Democratic leadership that: Blacklisted vendors who wo…

Three folks from 19125

Will you sign AOC’s birthday card?

John, Today is AOC’s birthday! We want to send her a birthday card with thousands of electronic signatures. We are so proud to have recruited AOC to run for Congress in 2018 and want to show her how many people continue to support her. Will you take a moment to wish AOC a Happy Birthday and…

Higher wages for working people > lower taxes for corporations

Did you see Bernie’s tweet last week? John, After decades of stagnant wages and over two years of a debilitating pandemic, most workers are far from the living wages everyone deserves. It’s clear to us that high wages, high employment, and high union representation will transform life for w…

I'm reaching out for your help. John, We announced something I'm really proud of: we're taking our fight for reproductive freedom on the road from October 8-10. In the hours after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Missouri became the first state to ban abortion. So, we're joining with key partners …

A bad situation in TX-28

Dem leaders just blew our last chance

It’s really pretty simple. John, As of last year, Nancy Pelosi is estimated to have a net worth of $46,000,000. She is the 15th wealthiest member in all of Congress. And just a few days ago, she oversaw the process that ultimately killed the ban on stock trading for all members of Congress.…

We need more Justice Democrats in Congress

One final question, John.

John, We know it’s late so we’ll get right to the point… The DCCC raised over $15 million dollars last month. That is a whole lotta money to protect entrenched incumbents. We’re working every day to usher in a new generation of leadership by electing diverse, working-class candidates who ar…

Just .8%

John, We just found out that the DCCC raised $15.4 million last month. That’s a whole lotta money to protect corporate-backed, entrenched incumbents who benefit from the status quo. Can you imagine what we could accomplish with $15 million dollars? We operate on a tiny fraction of the DCCC’s…

This $$ will expand the Squad

Our elections shouldn't be for sale.

This is why electing progressives is so important
