John,
Did you see our Executive Director Alexandra Rojas’s op-ed in Zeteo this
morning?
[ [link removed] ]Democrats Will Keep Losing Until They Cut Ties With Billionaires and
Corporations. Progressive movement leader Alexandra Rojas writes for Zeteo
that those in charge of the Democrats’ 2024 campaign should have been
fired a long time ago.
Corporate Democratic pundits, consultants, strategists, donors, and
establishment leaders who have dictated the Party’s agenda for decades are
trying to blame November’s election losses on trans kids, immigrants, “the
left,” and progressive groups like Justice Democrats.
The truth is the Party willfully ignored the left and progressives. It
willfully deprioritized the economic populism that unites people across
race, gender, class, and zip codes. Instead of leading a campaign against
billionaires who make millions in profits while everyday people struggle,
Democrats employed billionaires like Mark Cuban as a surrogate to satisfy
Wall Street and Big Tech donors.
Instead of demanding an end to the U.S. funding of Israel’s genocide of
the Palestinian people and investing that money in working-class jobs,
housing, and healthcare, Democrats promised to be the party of forever
wars abroad while employing a family of war criminals as campaign
messengers.
This was not a one-cycle problem or just a one-off issue with the Harris
campaign. As Alexandra writes in Zeteo, “This is a problem decades in the
making by Democratic Party leadership who have worked overtime to serve
the needs of corporations and billionaire donors, while leaving ordinary
people out to dry.”
Our progressive movement has tried to warn Democratic Party leadership of
this problem for years on end, and it’s the very reason Justice Democrats
was created: to bring working class representation to working class
communities.
When those in Party leadership don’t listen, we take them on. With your
help, we hold their feet to the fire and unseat out-of-touch Democratic
incumbents with working class challengers. Through grassroots donations
and people power, we have defeated the odds and beat our opponents’
corporate- and billionaire-funded dark money war chests to send leaders
like AOC, Summer Lee, and Rashida Tlaib to Congress.
If the Democratic Party wants to start winning more races and regain trust
with the working class, they must clean up shop and cut ties with the
billionaires and corporate interests who put profits before people.

run for Congress in 2026 and replace corporate Democrats who’ve failed the

Like Alexandra said, “The best way for everyday people to believe their
leaders are actually willing to fight for them in the halls of power is by
electing everyday people to those seats,” and that’s exactly what your
grassroots contribution will help us do.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
