John,

Did you see our Executive Director Alexandra Rojas’s op-ed in Zeteo this morning?

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.

We’re actively recruiting the next slate of working class candidates to run for Congress in 2026 and replace corporate Democrats who’ve failed the people. If you’re with us, pitch in $5 or any amount today to fuel our work →

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
