John,

In case you missed it, outside spending in the 2024 elections “shattered
records” at $4.5 billion, with more than $1 billion spent by dark money
Super PACs and nearly $2 billion spent by just 150 billionaire families.

Meanwhile, over 36 million people are living in poverty in the United
States and their voices are being ignored.

This was made possible because of the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in
Citizens United v. FEC, which ended century-old campaign finance laws that
previously prevented corporations and wealthy donors from spending
unlimited amounts of money on U.S. elections.

Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Rashida Tlaib are right:

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from Bernie Sanders: Billionaires in the U.S. are .0005% of the
population, yet accounted for 18% of 2024 electoral spending. Just 150
billionaires families spent nearly $2 billion. This is not democracy. It
is oligarchy. Time to overturn Citizens United and move to public funding
of elections.

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from Rashida Tlaib: Billionaires and special interest groups
spent a record-breaking $1 billion in dark money this election cycle. It’s
sick. Billionaires cannot continue to buy our elections. We need to end
Citizens United.

We are in the situation we are today — in which billionaires and corporate
interests can buy elections and hold immense influence over our leaders in
Washington — directly because of Citizens United.

If we want to get dark money out of politics and start prioritizing
working class people over corporations and the wealthiest few, we must
overturn it — and to do that, we need to elect more progressive, working
class leaders to Congress who refuse to take contributions from these bad
actors.

[ [link removed] ]That’s exactly what Justice Democrats is working toward, but the number
of candidates we recruit and help run for office is determined by how much
we raise from grassroots donors like you. Will you invest in the next
generation of progressives who will fight to overturn Citizens United by
pitching in $5 today?

In solidarity,
