John, it's not easy to find people willing to run a primary against the political establishment.

What we’ve done: Recruited a bartender, nurse, and middle school principal to take on the corporate wing of the Democratic Party. AOC, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman changed the political landscape because we worked together to win primaries.

Where you come in: Corporate incumbents with war chests of corporate-PAC money for their campaigns are intimidating. That’s why we need your urgent support to ensure our candidate recruitment program has the resources we need to succeed.

We set a goal to raise $100,000 in the first 72 hours of candidate recruitment, but we’re still $36,933 behind our goal. Can you make a donation of $18 (our average donation) or more right now to help us find strong primary challengers?

When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won her primary in 2018 she was massively outspent by the corporate incumbent. It didn’t matter because AOC and Justice Democrats knew how to run better campaigns, on issues that spoke to the needs of the people.

It still took hundreds of thousands of dollars for AOC to win. It will take a lot of money for us to get our nomination form in hands of the people who will nominate the next AOC, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman. With your support, we’ll find the next working-class, diverse progressive fighters ready to take on the corporate establishment. But, we need you to contribute if you can afford it.

Will you chip in now to make one of the final contributions we need to get to our $100,000 goal for candidate recruitment?

These last few days have been tremendous. We’ve seen an incredible outpouring of support from grassroots donors who are ready to join Justice Democrats in our mission to transform the Democratic Party.

We are in desperate need of a government that will fight for the people: A government that will fight for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, economic justice, immigrant justice, racial justice, and so much more. We’re fighting for that right now, and we appreciate you being there with us.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
