John, we’re sickened by this.
This morning we found out that Goldman Sachs’ third-quarter profit nearly doubled -- while millions of Americans are unemployed and our country is in the midst of a recession.
In the 2020 cycle alone, Goldman Sachs and their employees have spent $3,239,039 on political contributions to candidates on both sides of the aisle to uphold the status quo.
Our economy is rigged, and working-class people are paying the price while Goldman Sachs and the stock market are booming. It’s reprehensible.
That’s why we need more leaders like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman, who are willing to fight to create an economic system that serves the people, not only the 1%.
Our goal this month is to raise $300,000 -- that’s 9.2% of what Goldman Sachs has contributed to establishment candidates this cycle. If we can reach our goal this month, we can completely transform our Congress and finally create a system that doesn’t serve corporations.
Thank you for believing in building a Democratic Party and a political system that serves the people, not corporations or the stock market.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
