John,
Three more Justice Democrats-backed, working-class candidates are officially headed to Congress in January. Cori Bush (MO-01), Jamaal Bowman (NY-16), and Marie Newman (IL-03) all won big last night, and every member of the original Squad also won re-election.
We don’t shy away from the hard fights. We work hard alongside grassroots movements that empower people to change the direction of the country and usher in the next generation of American leadership.
In the face of record-breaking economic fallout, a global pandemic, and systemic racism, progressives have set a clear path forward, and we’re growing our ranks to organize in the halls of Congress along with the movements outside to transform the country.
AOC, Ayanna, Ilhan, and Rashida have led in Congress for the last two years -- representing their communities with the moral clarity required. Ro Khanna, Pramila Jayapal, and Raúl Grijalva are dedicated to fighting for our progressive values in Congress.
We are going to be in a long fight to deliver results for working families and uphold the basic tenets of a multiracial democracy where the majority can actually govern. We need the resources to go up against the political establishment and continue to pull off incredible upsets like we did this year with Cori Bush, Marie Newman, and Jamaal Bowman.
Thank you for everything you’re doing to push our movement forward.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
