John, this is bad news.

Politico is reporting that DNC members at an executive committee meeting were discussing reversing the rule that says superdelegates can’t vote until the second ballot to stop a progressive candidate from winning the nomination.

The DNC should let voters decide, not party insiders. That’s the whole point of the primary and of democracy. In 2016, many people felt like the DNC did not take a fair approach to handling the primary. We can’t re-open those wounds again after so much progress has been made to reform the process.

This is why our work at Justice Democrats is so important. The Democratic Party won’t change until we usher in a new generation of progressive leaders.

But the establishment won’t let us upset the status quo without a fight. That’s why we’re asking for your help tonight, before our end-of-month deadline.

Can you make a $3 contribution as a way of saying you don’t want superdelegates deciding our Democratic nominee? All the proceeds go directly to helping us elect new progressive leaders nationwide.

Contribute $3

Tonight is an important night for fundraising. The numbers we raise will send a powerful message about the future that grassroots progressives want for our party. That’s why your contributions are so important.

Thank you for chipping in.
