John,

This is a long but important email about what we’ve accomplished together
with all of you and the Squad so far, and why we need your support to
protect our progressive power in Congress. [ [link removed] ]I hope you’ll take a moment
to read it and pitch in whatever you can afford to help protect the Squad
in 2024 before Tuesday's deadline.

Over the last three cycles, alongside so many, our movement has been
instrumental in building real power in the U.S. House by electing some of
the most progressive, diverse, working-class representatives Congress has
seen in our lifetime — leaders like Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Summer Lee,
Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and the rest of the Squad.

Despite all the odds stacked against us, we’ve not only succeeded in
electing these true representatives of the people – we have fundamentally
reset what we expect from our elected officials: the urgency they bring to
office and how much they are willing to put their political capital and
power on the line to fight for the most vulnerable among us. The Squad has
fundamentally shifted the trajectory of American politics and has done it
all on our behalf.

Each of these progressive champions has led the fight for Medicare for
All, a Green New Deal, a livable minimum wage, racial justice, student
debt relief, and so much more. While we continue the work to make some of
these bold, necessary policies a reality, the Squad has brought a whole
lot of good to their communities and the country at large.

During their time in Congress, the Squad has delivered more than $4
billion to their districts to fund infrastructure, K-12 public education,
affordable housing, firefighting, climate resilience, public transit,
health centers, senior housing, employment assistance, and so much more.

They’ve stood with striking workers on picket lines, demanded an extension
of the federal evictions moratorium during the pandemic, and pushed for
the largest investment in clean energy and climate action ever through the
Inflation Reduction Act.

They were also among the very first to introduce a ceasefire resolution
and call for peace and the release of all Palestinian and Israeli hostages
back in October, despite cruel attacks from colleagues on both sides of
the aisle.

As a result, the Squad has angered Republicans, billionaires, and war
hawks alike; that’s why AIPAC and their right-wing megadonor network are
spending $100 million against them this cycle to try removing them from
office.

Corporate PACs have spent millions against us in the past and failed to
beat our people power. These attacks are proof that what we’re doing is
working — so we can’t let them set us back this year.

That’s why Justice Democrats and more than ten progressive partner
organizations are rushing to raise $100,000 this month for the five Squad
members facing the toughest re-election fights.

[ [link removed] ]We’ve still got a ways to go to reach our goal before April ends: can
you split $5 or any amount now to help us raise what we
need to protect the Squad?



[ [link removed] ]Contribute $5



Unlike the right-wing groups attacking us who are backed by corporate
interests and GOP millionaires, Justice Democrats and the Squad rely on
grassroots donations from regular people like you to make our work
possible.

Thank you for anything you can contribute to help the Squad accomplish
even more for our communities, country, and world. Together, we can and
will achieve the progress and justice we all deserve by protecting and
building our power.

In solidarity,

Alexandra Rojas
Executive Director
