John, I’ll be frank.

Joe Biden wasn’t our first, second or third choice for president.

But with Bernie suspending his campaign, we joined allies in the progressive youth movement to call on Joe Biden to #EarnOurVote.

A month ago, we wrote to the Biden campaign demanding key policy and personnel commitments. Today, we won a major victory. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Pramila Jayapal, Darrick Hamilton, Abdul El-Sayed, Sara Nelson, Stephanie Kelton, Varshini Prakash, and a host of other leading progressives were just appointed to the Biden campaign task forces put together by the former vice president and Bernie Sanders.

To earn the vote of progressives and younger voters, Joe Biden needs to show he hears the millions of voters and volunteers that make up our movement. This is a step in that direction, but we have to keep holding him and his campaign accountable.

We’ve heard from so many of you on social media and over email about Joe Biden. The reality is that many in our movement — rightly so — have serious concerns about the vice president’s campaign, platform, and record.

Personnel is policy. The progressives appointed to the task force are going to push our party’s nominee to create a robust policy response to the pandemic and deliver relief for millions of Americans. That’s a good thing. And it shows the power of our progressive movement is growing within the Democratic apparatus.

The task forces are just one part in the fight ahead to usher in a new generation of leaders and defeat Trump. We have a lot more work to do.

Help JD keep up the fight in the coming months. Donate now to help us hold Joe Biden accountable and transform the Democratic Party.

Thanks for being in this fight with us,
