Breaking news, John:

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani just won his race against a corporate,
out-of-touch political dynasty to become the next mayor of New York City.

This is huge.

Zohran’s victory is the turning point that our progressive movement has
been working toward for years within the Democratic Party: electing
leaders with the moral courage to unite voters to take on Republican
authoritarianism, Democratic corporatism, and billionaire greed all at
once.

It proves what Justice Democrats has been saying since our founding:
Democratic primaries are the battleground for the control of our party’s
direction.

We can send leaders like Zohran — who share the same vision of improving
everyday folks’ lives by making the wealthiest pay their fair share — to
fight for us in Congress, and it starts with next year’s Democratic
primaries.

[ [link removed] ]Will you help us build our progressive, working-class movement and
elect more Zohrans to office in 2026 by pitching in a grassroots
contribution of $5 or more now?

For too long, wealthy donors and billionaire lobbies have demanded
cowardice and moral vagueness from our politicians. As a result,
Democratic voters have had entrenched corporate politicians like Andrew
Cuomo stuffed down their throats as the only possible alternative to
Republican representation.

But working-class voters are waking up to realize they are represented by
a party unwilling to stand up to the biggest bullies and robber barons of
our time — and they’re walking away. This is the failure of Party
leadership, and it is in large part why Democrats lost so badly last
November.

What party pundits and strategists should take away from Zohran’s win is
that voters want leaders who have the moral clarity to stand up for their
most urgent needs and are brave enough to take on the powerful
billionaires, lobbies, and corporations who are standing in the way of
their prosperity.

It is because Zohran took on the real estate corporations, the Israel
lobby, and the billionaires robbing everyone blind that voters saw a
candidate they could actually believe would fight for them — not in spite
of it.

His victory builds on the wins from members of Congress like Summer Lee,
AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Delia Ramirez, Ilhan Omar, and others who finally
offered Democratic voters an alternative choice to the same corporate,
career politicians that have ruled the Party for decades.

Zohran’s win provides a clear mandate: our party can and must embrace
moral courage as a deliberate political strategy. If it does, we won’t
just move the conversation — we'll realign political power itself and put
it back in the hands of the people instead of the millionaires,
billionaires, corporations, and lobby groups.

We cannot let this victory and momentum end in NYC,
John. It must be a signal to political
candidates across the country that we CAN take on the wealthiest, most
well-connected, most entrenched corporate politicians and win, if they’re
willing to be a voice that unites the working class against the wealthy
elites.

Now is the moment to build on our work to transform the Democratic Party
through Congressional primary elections nationwide. Justice Democrats has
been the leading organization waging a war for the future of our party in
primaries since 2017, and this cycle, we’re planning on taking on as many
do-nothing, corporate Democrats as possible.

The next electoral fight is the 2026 midterms, and at a time when the
Party has some of its lowest approvals ever, the only way for us to take
power back from a Republican trifecta is to run candidates that people
actually can believe in, see themselves in, and be inspired by. Candidates
like Donavan McKinney, Angela Gonzales-Torres, Justin J. Pearson, Cori
Bush, and more to come soon.

The era of Cuomo and Schumer, who have controlled Democratic politics for
decades, is over. Voters want new leaders, with ideas bold enough to match
the scale of their crises, and the path to electing them is in Democratic
primaries across the country, where Justice Democrats is leading the
charge.

[ [link removed] ]But just like it took a whole movement to defeat Andrew Cuomo, it's
going to take a groundswell of grassroots resources to defeat the rest of
the billionaire-backed politicians in the Democratic Party. Let’s multiply
this victory and keep building an unstoppable movement: chip in whatever
you can today to directly fuel our work this cycle.

Our only path to real change, in the face of a full corporate takeover of
our country, is to take on the billionaire class head-on and with our full
force. Thank you for anything you can do to stand alongside us in this
fight.

In solidarity,

Alexandra Rojas
Executive Director
