John —
We’ve announced only 8 challengers this cycle, but we’ve already made a splash. The power of our incredible candidates has already struck fear into the heart of the establishment.
Don’t believe us? Just take a look at the DCCC progressive blacklist, the slate of Politico articles, and Henry Cuellar falsely calling small-dollar donations “dark money.”
Everyone knows that we’re just getting started. Even now, we’re searching the nation for new, dynamic, progressive leaders to help build a democracy that works for everyone — not just a powerful few. But in order to keep up this pace, we need your help.
We don’t have wealthy elite donors or massive corporations to help keep the lights on. Everything we do is powered by small donations from people who are ready to change the way this democracy works — who choose to believe that we can do it.
It won’t be easy. Like AOC said, in order for one of our champions to break through these entrenched incumbents, a hundred have to try. Which is why we’re not just fighting to elect Justice Democrats, but to change the entire system from within.
If we stand together, we can finally have leaders who will fight for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, an end to the human rights crisis at our border, and so much more. The establishment is entrenched and powerful — but we have people-power on our side. In the end, we will win.
In solidarity,
Alexandra Rojas, Justice Democrats
