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:

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.

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,

Justice Democrats
