$10,300

We did the back-of-the-napkin math. John, In just six days, we’ll hit our first quarter deadline of 2023. We have just $10,300 to go to hit our goal. We did the math, and based on our average donation, we need 599 donations to hit this goal. John, can you be one of the 599 people we need to …

We never want to take your support for granted

A donation today will help elect progressive champions like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. John, We know that you've been receiving a lot of emails lately, but it's because we're currently facing a make-or-break deadline for our movement. The future of Justice Democrats is on the line. Our team ha…

This community

We call on people like you. John, We’re in a fight for the soul of the Democratic Party — to transform it to represent regular people, not corporate special interests. We’re working to pass legislation like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, a living wage, and ending our systems of mass in…

Narrowing down our strategy

I wanted to reach out directly to give an insider look at our 2024 candidate recruitment work. Hi John, it’s Geoff here, Campaigns Director at Justice Democrats. Last cycle, we spoke with 3,990 local leaders about our races and vetted 1,653 potential candidates to ensure we backed the best p…

It’s going to take all of us.

John, First, in 2018, the DCCC blacklisted us for daring to challenge their authority on behalf of the people they’re supposed to represent. Then, in 2022, far-right groups like AIPAC drowned our candidates in millions for daring to speak up for Palestinian human rights. Now, the Moderate P…

Biden was never on our side

We’re disappointed, but we’re not surprised — Biden was never on our side to begin with. John, Last week, the Biden administration approved the $8 billion Willow oil project on federally-owned land in Alaska, leaving many confused how a Democrat could do something so detrimental to the figh…

An obscene amount of money against us

We need your immediate help to fight back against Moderate PAC and their GOP mega-donor. John, did you see this headline from The Intercept? A GOP mega-donor and 🤑billionaire🤑 gave Moderate PAC $1,000,000 to stop us from recruiting the next slate of progressive primary challengers like Ale…

Dems created the blacklist just for us 👀

John, do you know the story of the DCCC blacklist? In 2018, AOC defeated the 4th most powerful Democrat in the House. Corporate Democrats were reeling. The DCCC went to extreme lengths to stop progressives like AOC from ever winning again. The DCCC blacklisted any vendors, staffers, and orga…

F*ck this.

John, this is outrageous: Andrew Cuomo — who resigned in disgrace — is apparently launching an organization called Progressives for Israel. 🤔 Andrew Cuomo isn’t a progressive. He allowed elderly people to die during the early days of the pandemic and has been accused of disgusting acts of se…

They just proposed the death penalty for abortion

John, Right now, in at least half of the states, abortion rights are under attack. And as more abortion bans are passed, right-wing extremists are radicalizing their political agenda even further. They’re looking to outlaw the abortion pill, jail doctors, and even propose the death penalty f…

The foundation of this movement

Unlike the establishment, we rely on grassroots contributions from all over the country to make up the difference. You are the foundation of this movement, John. Because we don’t take a cent from corporate PACs, your grassroots support means a whole lot to us — it’s what keeps us going in tim…

Why did Congress deregulate banks?

John, In 2018, Republicans and corporate Democrats came together to deregulate banks. 😰 Now, in 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) is collapsing. As AOC said “the regulators were there until SVB lobbied Congress to remove the guardrails.” We don’t need any more Democrats in Congress who will t…

We need more Democrats supporting bold, transformative policies

Most U.S. residents live paycheck to paycheck, and nearly half don’t have enough cash to cover a $400 emergency expense. John, We need Democrats to do more to truly be the party of the working class. Most U.S. residents live paycheck to paycheck, and nearly half don’t have enough cash to cove…

Two of our recruits + a sunset 🌇

John, did you see this photo on AOC’s Instagram story the other day? 😍 (Photo of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Tiffany Cabán, and Jamaal Bowman) This is the exact reason why Justice Democrats exists. We recruited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman to run for Congress. We worked with thei…

Tell Congress: Don’t cut Social Security or Medicare!

John, Social Security has been a promise and a critical safety net to working Americans for decades. But right now, Kevin McCarthy is holding debt ceiling legislation hostage in exchange for cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Republicans even want to create a “commission” which will attem…

John, Unlike the DCCC, we will never scare you in an attempt to get you to make a donation. The sky isn’t falling and there is no reason to kiss all hope goodbye. Instead, we will politely ask that you contribute $3 right now to support our work and make sure we reach our $20,535 mid-month…

Bernie vs. Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz

‘Fumbling the bag’

John, New York Democrats really ‘fumbled the bag’ this last cycle: The Democratic Party in New York spent more time and energy fighting progressives in the primaries than keeping seats in the generals. They lost seats. On the other hand, Justice Democrats have recruited and played a major r…

Out-of-pocket costs for insulin are coming down

John, The cost of life-saving prescription medicine in America is out of control. According to a poll by Kaiser Family Health, eight in ten adults say that the cost of prescription drugs is unreasonable. And almost 30 percent aren’t taking their medication as prescribed due to cost. Thanks …

Hi John, Exciting news: Movement School’s Campaign Fellows 2023 is LIVE and applications are NOW OPEN! Although this is the most diverse Congress we’ve ever had, the diversity within Congressional campaign staff doesn’t match up. Only 18% of all top House staff are people of color according …

John, did you see? Yesterday, the Supreme Court began hearing arguments for Republicans’ sham lawsuits against the President’s student debt relief plan. Justice Democrats Cori Bush, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Jamaal Bowman, and Pramila Jayapal were there — rallying with prot…

Our unprecedented fundraising slowdown

If we don’t turn this around soon, we’ll have to consider making budget cuts. John, After Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, a few staffers decided to continue the work to fight to elect progressives by launching Justice Democrats. For a team with a small budget, we’ve had quite an …

Our fight for justice for all does not begin or end with a committee assignment

Kevin McCarthy kept his word, John. Earlier this month, after 4 proud years of service, I was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. I want to be perfectly clear: This political stunt is a personal one — the result of years of xenophobic, Islamophobic, and racist attacks that star…

SIGN: Demand Pete Buttigieg reinstate safety measures the railroads killed

We could’ve prevented this disaster

Nancy Pelosi and Sean Patrick Maloney are not the future of the Democratic Party.
