John, as we move closer to yet another major election year in 2024, I want to take a moment to look back on Justice Democrats’ crucial fights and victories you fueled in 2020.

The 2020 election was not only a pivotal moment in defending our country and our democracy from further damage under Donald Trump — it was a massive opportunity to fight back against moderates and move our progressive movement forward.

Thanks to support from people like you, we recruited and elected two new members of the Squad: Cori Bush in Missouri’s 1st district and Jamaal Bowman in New York’s 16th district.

Both Cori and Jamaal were working-class candidates of color who successfully ousted long-time Democratic incumbents who were failing to serve their communities. Now, they’re providing true representation and pushing for bold change in Congress.

But that’s not all we accomplished in 2020. During the presidential primaries, Justice Democrats became one of the only organizations to run compelling ads and a press offensive against more corporate-friendly Democrats vying for the nomination.

In May of 2020, we privately and publicly sent a Youth Vote Turnout Letter to Joe Biden ahead of his nomination, explaining what kind of transformative policies and actions we expected from him in order to earn our support.

When now President Biden beat Trump, we celebrated and then got right to work launching campaigns like ClimateMandate.org to hold him accountable to our communities and ensure a bold governing agenda as president. We made it clear that we expect and demand urgent mobilization around the climate crisis, as well as progressive representation in his Cabinet.

Throughout 2020, Justice Democrats sent a message: young people will no longer automatically give our votes and support to Democrats who uphold the status quo. We demand better, and we’re not stopping.

In 2024, we need to double-down on the work we achieved in 2020: re-elect our incumbents like Cori and Jamaal, elect new progressive leaders to Congress, and re-elect President Biden while making sure he delivers on his promises.

As a grassroots-funded organization, we can’t do any of it without you, John. Will you pitch in $3 or more right now to help us gear up for the fights ahead?
