John,
We are engaged in many struggles right now for the future of our country
and our planet. We are trying to save the planet from the ravages of
climate change. We're trying to create an economy that works for all and
not just the billionaire class. We're trying to defend our democracy
against those who are moving us toward authoritarianism. And that's just
to name a few.
But it is not all doom and gloom,
John. One thing that makes me optimistic about
the future is that there are more really strong young progressives — often
people of color — in the House now than ever before.
But we cannot stop here.
We need to continue electing candidates who will take on corporate greed,
authoritarianism, and bigotry and who are prepared to fight for justice.
And in order to do that, we must bring our people together in a
multi-generational, multi-racial movement to take on the big-money
interests that have so much political and economic power in our country.
[ [link removed] ]So today, I am asking you to join me in supporting strong progressive
candidates across the country by splitting a contribution between Summer
Lee and the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC.

In 1991, I co-founded the Congressional Progressive Caucus alongside 5 of
my colleagues because I believed that working people needed more of a
voice in Congress. And today, I’m proud to see that it has grown to more
than 100 members, including Summer Lee, and is now one of the largest
caucuses in Congress.
In the midst of all the struggles facing our nation and our planet, we
cannot simply remain on the defensive. We need to continue building our
movement to transform this country. And that means electing progressive
leaders who will fight to protect social security, raise the minimum wage,
get big money out of politics, and guarantee health care as a human right.
But it is not going to be easy.
Big Pharma, Big Oil, and other corporate interests have in past election
cycles spent many millions of dollars attacking progressive candidates.
The good news is that despite the avalanche of right-wing spending, we
have still been able to elect many strong candidates like Summer Lee.
The bad news is that some excellent progressive candidates have been
defeated by this right-wing money.
It should not be a radical proposition to say that the very wealthiest
people in this country should not be able to control our political system
and who represents us in government.
This great nation and its government belongs to ALL of our people, not
just right-wing billionaires and their Super PACs.
[ [link removed] ]So please, split a contribution between Summer Lee and the
Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC and help us take on the outrageous
sums of money flowing into our political system.
All across the country, people are coming together and saying “enough is
enough.” They are tired of tinkering around the edges of the problem — on
climate change, on racial justice, on economic justice.
We’ve already shown what’s possible when working people stand together —
and if we continue to do so, together we will elect a Congress that works
for all of us, not just the 1%.
Thank you again for supporting Summer Lee and the Congressional
Progressive Caucus PAC if you can afford to do so.
In solidarity,
Sen. Bernie Sanders
