The Squad vs. AIPAC

AIPAC has had its sights set on Justice Democrats candidates since day one. John, AIPAC and its Republican donors are intentionally targeting progressive members of the Congressional Black Caucus with right-wing primary challengers. AIPAC — a Republican-funded lobbying group — has had its si…

This is an incredible victory!

We will continue to fight for solutions that match the scale of the crises we face but we need your support to carry on this momentum. John, breaking news: Biden just released a plan to create an American Climate Corps, a massive training program for green jobs. And this is due to our moveme…

It is shameful for Biden to meet with Netanyahu.

John, this is outrageous. Biden is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tomorrow. We’re standing against this meeting, and here’s why: Benjamin Netanyahu has used violent efforts to erode democratic institutions, build illegal settlements in the West Bank, displace Palestin…

Biden appoints a war criminal

We have to stop the Senate from confirming this disastrous nominee. John, We're disappointed. Joe Biden just nominated a Trump-backed official, Elliott Abrams, to a key diplomatic post. We're talking about a man who called for a Muslim travel ban. We’re talking about a man, who in 1991, ple…

Our work hinges on our grassroots fundraising, John

John, our work to elect progressive champions and transform the Democratic Party from the inside out hinges on our grassroots fundraising. We don’t take a single dime from corporate PACs, our average donation this month is just $17.56, and right-wing PACs have already pledged to spend millio…

We stand in solidarity with UAW ✊

John, It wasn’t just a Hot Labor Summer — workers across the country are continuing to keep up the fight for better working conditions, pay, and benefits. Today, United Auto Workers (UAW) announced they’re officially going on strike! UAW represents more than 140,000 workers at the Big 3 aut…

We’ve made a few enemies...

John, First, Moderate PAC announced that they would raise and spend a staggering $20 million against us. Then, AIPAC started recruiting against our progressive champions in Congress including Summer Lee, Ilhan Omar, and Jamaal Bowman. Now, we need your support to fight back against AIPAC an…

Just a handful of Bernie 2016 staffers and volunteers — including me.

Our impact on the Biden presidency

John, In this pivotal moment for Justice Democrats, I’m reflecting on all of the ways people like YOU have empowered us to make a difference since our inception in 2017. Over the last six years, not only did we recruit and elect young, diverse, working-class progressives like Summer Lee, Cor…

Doubling down

John, Over the last few years, with minimal resources compared to the Democratic establishment, we have punched far above our weight and made an impact by recruiting and electing an entire bloc of working-class leaders to Congress. But we’re at a crossroads for our movement. In a HuffPost ar…

Dems created the blacklist just for us 👀

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

Imagine the Democratic Party without the Squad

John, could you imagine what the Democratic Party would look like without Justice Democrat-endorsed progressives and the Squad? No AOC, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, or Summer Lee in Congress fighting for bold change and challenging the status-quo? We …

Help us re-elect Summer Lee next year!

Moderate and Republican groups like AIPAC are already gunning for Summer’s seat in Congress next year. John, Today, Justice Democrats-endorsed U.S. Rep. Summer Lee just officially launched her re-election campaign for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 12th district, and we couldn’t be more proud to …

AIPAC and Moderate PAC

Our sustained slowdown

We need to support Ayanna during this outrageous attack

John, this is outrageous. A GOP Presidential candidate just attacked Ayanna Pressley, calling her a part of the “modern KKK.” Ramaswamy is attacking Ayanna because she is a strong advocate for advancing racial justice, from ending the racial wealth gap to reforming our criminal justice syste…

How our work together is making a difference

A failure of democratic leadership

John, AIPAC endorsed more than 100 Republican candidates for office who threatened our democracy and voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election of Joe Biden on January 6. They spent $4 million trying to defeat Summer Lee alone, and are already recruiting candidates this cycle to run ag…

We can’t let a racist xenophobe back in the White House
