"The Squad was in part propelled to prominence by the Justice Democrats, a millennial-led group that has made the Democratic Party more accountable to its base through recruiting and endorsing candidates in competitive primaries."

John —

Historian Barbara Ransby at The New York Times is right: Alexandria, Ilhan, Ayanna, and Rashida are the future of the Democratic Party.

But here’s the thing — to continue to transform the Democratic Party we have to elect a new generation of diverse, progressive leaders. So far we’ve endorsed 8 new candidates in the 2020 cycle who are running for Congress. We don’t have big corporate donors who we can call to write max-out checks to support our movement. We rely on people like you, so today we’re asking:

Will you donate $3 to Justice Democrats right now to help elect a new wave of progressive leaders who will join the Squad in Congress and help them continue to fight for the future of the Democratic Party.

Donate

Alexandria, Ilhan, Ayanna, and Rashida have given us a vision of what our future can look like:

• We can guarantee health care and housing as a human right
• We can mobilize on a massive scale to transform our economy and our society to address the climate crisis
• We can dismantle ICE, close the detention camps on our southern border, and offer a simple pathway to citizenship for all who seek it. We can end private prisons and abolish cash bail
• We can implement a federal jobs guarantee and a living minimum wage so every worker is able to live with dignity and on a livable plane

Right now we’re in an existential struggle for the soul of our party and our country. We can win this battle by electing a whole new slate of leaders who will join the Squad in Congress and fight for a brighter vision of the future.

Our organization is completely fueled by people like you donating what they can in response to emails just like this one. We don’t have corporations or wealthy donors who we can call to write max-out checks to our movement. We depend on people like you.

Professor Ransby put our work well:

If you believe in our vision for the future and want to elect a new wave of leaders who will join the Squad in our fight — donate $3 right now to make our vision for the future a reality.

Donate

Thank you for being a part of our movement for the future.

In solidarity,
