Hi John,

Before many log off to spend Thanksgiving with family and friends, I wanted to connect with you directly. I am deeply grateful for the support that makes our work possible and for the shared commitment to building a better future together.

To every person who nominated a candidate, talked to us about your community, gave $5 or more to one of our grassroots campaigns, and helped us build our movement every day — THANK YOU!

Justice Democrats was founded to build people power in our country by finding and electing a bloc of working class leaders to Congress who reject corporate PAC money and truly put people first.

Heading into the new year, momentum is on our side. Candidates powered by the working class like Zohran are defying the odds. Voters are sick and tired of the status quo, and no longer believe the leadership that got us here is capable of leading us out of it.

Because of you, we have already endorsed five new working-class, progressive challengers:

• Donavan McKinney in MI-13: a lifelong working class Detroiter and State Representative, who has led the charge in Michigan to take out corporate money in politics and deliver clean air & water, challenging out-of-touch millionaire Rep. Shri Thanedar.
• Angela Gonzales-Torres in CA-34: a working-class Angeleno and daughter of a deportee, dedicated community advocate, and public servant taking on corporate Rep. Jimmy Gomez, who was one of the biggest recipients of AIPAC’s Super PAC spending last year.
• Cori Bush in MO-01: our first-ever Justice Democrat, a nurse, community activist, and former progressive champion in Congress — who has put her body on the line for working class people — running to take back her seat from AIPAC darling Rep. Wesley Bell.
• Justin J. Pearson in TN-09: a member of the Tennessee Three, State Representative, and environmental justice organizer, who stopped multiple Big Oil pipelines, challenging Do-Nothing Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen.
• Darializa Avila Chevalier in NY-13: a working-class Afro-Latina organizer, UAW member, and daughter of Dominican immigrants — who has organized her community to defend against ICE, subway fare hikes, and the genocide in Gaza — going up against AIPAC and real estate industry-backed Rep. Adriano Espaillat.

And even more are on the way!

We wouldn’t be here without you, John, as we depend directly on grassroots contributions from people like you to fuel the work ahead.

I and every member of the Justice Democrats team are so incredibly grateful for you. Together, we CAN drive big money out of politics and elect representatives of the people to create lasting change in Washington.

Thank you again for anything you’ve contributed to strengthen and grow our working-class, progressive movement in Congress. Our work is just getting started.

In solidarity,

Alexandra Rojas
Executive Director
