John,
Super PACs are corrupting our politics. They funnel dark money from billionaires and corporations into our Democratic primaries to elect candidates who will protect the rich and exploit the working class.
But we can change this. State Democratic Parties have the power to BAN super PACs from our primary elections and ensure the people get to choose our candidates. Add your name to this petition urging them to do just that!
Ever since the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision fifteen years ago, super PACs have taken over our political system. In the past three election cycles, billionaire-backed interests like AIPAC and cryptocurrency groups have spent hundreds of millions to defeat bold progressives like Justice Democrats Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush – and to help install Donald Trump as president.
A report shows that just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion to influence the 2024 elections. We have to get this influence out of our politics to deliver the bold, working-class victories our communities deserve.
As we continue calling for Citizens United to be overturned once and for all, we can build a party that works for us and ban billionaires from buying Democratic primaries.
State Democratic Parties have the power to stop this corrupt spending. Now, we must demand they use it.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
