John,
It’s been a little over a week since Election Day, and I’ve had some time
to reflect.
What we saw last week says a lot about where our movement is headed, and I
want to explain why. But first, I have to ask: [ [link removed] ]Could you pitch in a few
bucks to keep this campaign going strong?
Keep reading, and I’ll explain why your support matters now more than
ever. Thank you. 🙏
Now, my thoughts:
1. The Democratic establishment is at an inflection point.
What we saw on Election Day made one thing crystal clear: The old playbook
is failing.
Candidates who spoke directly to the real, daily struggles of working
people — affordability, housing, healthcare — won by huge margins. That’s
a big contrast to last year, where the overarching message from the
establishment was “Stop Trump by voting blue.”
Voters don’t want leaders who only talk about fighting MAGA Republicans.
They want leaders who fight for them.
Now, the Democratic establishment has a choice to make — either embrace
this new generation of leaders who aren’t afraid to speak plainly about
the cost of living, corporate greed, and corruption, or double down on a
“vote blue no matter who” approach that keeps losing ground and leaves
voters unmotivated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Organizing and message still matter — a lot.
In every place that we saw campaigns reinvigorate hope in people, voter
turnout surged, breaking records in cities like New York.
When you talk about building an economy that actually works for working
people, folks don’t just listen. They show up. They donate. They
volunteer.
It’s proof that inspiration and organization beat cynicism and apathy
every single time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Voters don’t want politicians who are bought and paid for.
This one hits close to home.
Across the country, corporate-backed establishment candidates lost.
Candidates who ran people-powered campaigns, who refused to take a dime
from corporate PACs or AIPAC, prevailed.
Working people recognize that politicians who take money from the same
corporations and billionaires who benefit from the broken system can’t be
trusted to lead.
That’s why I’m proud to be the only candidate in this race who’s never
taken money from corporate PACs or AIPAC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, you may be thinking, “So, what does this all mean for us?”
All of this means our campaign is on the right side of history, and that
we can win this — with a big caveat.
That caveat is money. If AIPAC and corporate PACs flood the airwaves with
ads attacking our campaign and boosting their preferred candidate, and we
don’t have the resources to respond, we could very well lose.
And they’re already spending money to defeat us. Every day we wait to
respond, we fall further behind, and once their narrative takes hold, it’s
nearly impossible to undo.
John, our
grassroots campaign doesn’t have AIPAC or corporate PACs writing
six-figure checks — we have you. If enough of us step up today, we can
still match their spending and win this race on our terms.

between winning a people-powered Senate seat or watching AIPAC and

Thank you for being part of this movement. What we saw last week gives me
more hope than ever, but only if we stick together.
In solidarity,
Abdul
