John, let's face it, there's not a lot of things that the New
York Times and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez agree on.

On Friday, that changed when the New York Times announced their
endorsements for the June 23rd primary election in two critical districts
DFA members are working hard to win:

The New York Times, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and DFA members in New York
and nationwide all agree. These two Black men are the transformational
leaders America needs in Congress.

Jamaal Bowman was raised in NYC public housing by his grandmother and
mother. Ten years ago, Jamaal founded a public middle school in the Bronx,
the Cornerstone Academy for Social Action, where he served as the
principal until the end of 2019. He built this school based on the
principles of equity and restorative justice and working to dismantle the
school-to-prison pipeline. He will bring this experience and his beliefs
to his work in Congress to dramatically improve historically oppressed
communities nationwide.

Mondaire Jones is an attorney, nonprofit leader, and activist. He was born
to a young, single mother and was raised in the district he’s running to
serve. In his senior year at Stanford, when the Palo Alto Police Chief
made public statements endorsing racial profiling, Mondaire organized his
fellow students. Their efforts helped lead to the police chief’s
resignation and reforms within the department.

NY-16, NY-17 and, frankly, every Congressional district in America
deserves a Democrat who will fight for everyone, a leader with an
inclusive progressive vision for change. Jamaal and Mondaire are fighting
for a Green New Deal, free public college, Medicare for All, lifting up
union families, progressive foreign policy, ending mass incarceration and
deportation, and fully investing in our public schools. Both of them are
refusing all corporate PAC and lobbyist contributions.

[ [link removed] ]That's where we come in. Like most DFA members, I can't vote for these
incredible Black leaders where I live, but I can make a contribution today
-- right now -- and help fund everything they need to Get-Out-The-Vote.
Please join me with a split contribution to Jamaal, Mondaire and DFA and
make sure these Black leaders win!

 

When it comes to supporting the Movement for Black Lives, one absolutely
critical step is to elect black leaders.

Stay safe, stay healthy, and keep fighting for change.
