John,
This cycle has made one thing abundantly clear, the appetite for bold, progressive leadership is only growing.
Over the last two weeks, we’ve had tremendous wins, electing Melat Kiros in Colorado and Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez in New York, making that six progressive leaders we are sending to Congress.
Now people are taking notice!
This week, The Intercept published a feature on the movement reshaping Democratic politics. The headline says it all:
The article explains how organizations like Justice Democrats, alongside our partners, are building the infrastructure to take on the political establishment and win!
As our Communications Director said:
“Justice Democrats has the expertise to run federal challenger primaries — embedding in campaigns as staff and advisers, managing budgets, recruiting and training candidates, coordinating donors and leading independent expenditure programs,”
“Combining that expertise with local DSA’s immense field and organizing power, which is unmatched in cities like NYC, delivers these monumental victories.”
Our victories didn't happen by accident. They happened because supporters like you invested in recruiting bold candidates.
After Melat’s victory, our Communications Director summed up this cycle in one sentence:
We couldn’t agree more.
We are not slowing down. Every victory we celebrate today makes the establishment more determined to stop the next one. That's why we're already preparing for our remaining primaries in August, just a few weeks away.
We have to keep this momentum going through November and beyond if we’re going to finally have a government that puts the working class first.
Can we count on you to chip in $5 or more today to help power our growing movement?
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
