John,
As we continue to reflect on the 2024 election results, it’s increasingly obvious that the Democratic establishment must change course and re-focus on people, not corporate interests and wealthy donors.
Ayman Mohyeldin of MSNBC, who read Justice Democrats’ post-election statement on his show this week, couldn’t have said it better:
The Democratic Party needs to take a long, hard look at itself if it wants to rebuild trust with everyday people and win more elections — and that doesn’t mean pointing the finger at progressives.
Justice Democrats like Rep. Rashida Tlaib — who’s remained a steadfast champion of her working class constituents and continues to lead the call for an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza — handily won re-election, outperforming the top of the ticket.
Though we lost Squad members Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman in their Democratic primaries this summer, it was only after the Democratic establishment failed to defend them from the unprecedented $20 million in attacks from right-wing megadonor-funded groups like AIPAC and its super PACs.
Justice Democrats is actively recruiting everyday working Americans — nurses, principals, union workers, and community organizers — to run for Congress in order to transform our economy and democracy, but we can’t do it without grassroots support from people like you.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
