John, we’re outraged.

President-elect Joe Biden just announced his first appointments. They include Steve Ricchetti and Rep. Cedric Richmond: Ricchetti is a former big pharma lobbyist and Cedric Richmond is one of the top Democratic recipients of fossil fuel money in Congress.

We’re working to transform the Democratic Party and show them that the grassroots organizers who helped deliver this win to Joe Biden are demanding progressive appointments and policies.

One of the best ways we can show the political establishment the strength of our movement is with our fundraising numbers. Will you chip in $3 right now to send the message to Joe Biden that we’re demanding that he pushes the Democratic Party to actually fight for voters, not corporate interests?

Contribute $3

If Joe Biden continues making corporate-friendly appointments to his White House, he will risk quickly fracturing the hard-earned goodwill his team built with progressives to defeat Donald Trump.

Biden should be embracing the base, not alienating folks by appointing a big pharma lobbyist and a top recipient of fossil fuel contributions. Help us send this message to Joe Biden by making a $3 contribution right now.

Thank you for your support. More soon,

Team JD
