John -- We did it. I can still hardly believe it, but we DID it. After 3 years, 3 months, and 15 days, we beat the machine. Cori Bush is going to Congress!

Last night’s victory means there are now TEN Brand New Congress candidates heading to the general election. And just like Cori did last night, they will need our support to win.

It was a REALLY big night for our movement. Cori Bush toppled a 50-year dynasty in Missouri. Over in Michigan, Rashida Tlaib and Jon Hoadley both won their primaries. Votes are still being counted in Washington, where Rebecca Parson has a chance to face Kilmer in the general election. And Eva Putzova (AZ-01) took home over 41% of the vote despite being outspent nearly 3:1!

Cori’s historic victory proved that we can win ANY seat. But the road for working class candidates is never, ever going to be easy.

We need you to commit. We need you to dig deep. We need to celebrate these historic wins, but we also need to stay strong through the losses and remember what we're fighting for -- a nation where every single one of us can live in security and dignity.

Right now millions of Americans are unemployed and facing eviction while a deadly pandemic continues to rage and the climate emergency looms large. If we’re going to address any of these issues, we need every one of these candidates to win in November.

We already have another primary tomorrow, Corey Strong (TN-09), and later in August, Jen Perelman (FL-23), followed by three in September.

We only have 90 days to the general election -- then we immediately begin candidate recruitment for 2022!

If you are able, can you commit to a small monthly contribution today so we can build a nation where each of us has a chance to thrive, not just survive?

That's what Cori, Jamaal, Paula Jean, Rashida and AOC will fight for in Congress. That's what all our candidates fight for, and what this movement is about. We will win and we will certainly lose some of the battles ahead, but like the tide, we will inevitably rise.

Stay in this fight with us, John. You saw the proof last night -- when we all band together we can move mountains.

Yours for the revolution,

Cory Archibald
Board Chair
Brand New Congress
