Hey John, I just published a new op-ed in The Guardian.

Here’s the bottom line: The Democratic Party cannot win back the White House in 2028 without transforming the Party first in 2026 with working class primary challenges to the corporate incumbents who overrun the Party and lack the moral courage to fight for their communities.

Will you help Justice Democrats replace out-of-touch, corporate incumbents with new, working-class voices in Congress by pitching in $5?

We at Justice Democrats believe people-powered primaries will always be beneficial to the health of our democracy. And it’s clear millions of voters believe that too – the primaries they’re clamoring for are ones led for and by working-class people, who put together campaigns with solutions as big as our crises and ambitious enough to inspire hope again.

But this cycle, as voters make it clear that they want unbossed and unbought leaders, too many Democratic groups, and even some that call themselves progressive, are encouraging candidates’ silence in the face of lobbies like AIPAC and Crypto’s multimillion-dollar threats.

Silence in the face of genocide, silence in the face of Trump’s Crypto corruption, and silence on anything that might upset the rich and powerful.

Silence is cowardice and cowardice inspires no one. The path to more Democratic victories is not around, behind, and under these lobbies but it’s right through them, taking them head-on and ridding them from our politics once and for all.

The solution to their fearmongering is not surrender, it’s solidarity. That courage and solidarity can unite a fractured nation of voters who distrust the entire institution of electoral politics and its ability to transform their lives for the better.

Democrats can win in 2026 and subsequently in 2028 by showing voters that there is a different way to do electoral politics. The leaders of the future of the Democratic Party will be defined by those willing to take on the biggest fights.

At Justice Democrats, we’re recruiting and supporting working-class, progressive candidates for Congress who are unafraid to fight lobby groups like AIPAC and Crypto, and have the courage to stand up for all people — even in the face of massive opposition.

The 2026 elections will be here before we know it, and our success depends directly on grassroots support from people like you, coming together in solidarity.

Please contribute anything you can today to help us replace corporate, do-nothing Democrats with the next generation of bold, working-class leaders we deserve this cycle.
