John,
You’ve heard from Bernie, Ro, Pramila, and Ilhan over the last few days. And now I want to share with you why I believe in Justice Democrats and the work they are doing.
JD is transforming the Democratic Party from the inside out by recruiting and electing people who actually represent the communities they come from. They helped me win in Michigan’s 13th District with the power of grassroots organizing.
Now, Justice Democrats is launching their official recruitment drive for 2022. I’m writing to ask if you’ll make a donation to support them as they try to recruit progressive candidates to run across the country.
In the last election, JD helped recruit Jamaal Bowman, who will be joining me in Congress in January. Another JD recruit, Cori Bush, won her race in St. Louis after running a second time. We know this works! Community leaders can win if we spend the time to recruit them and support their campaigns.
It takes a lot of resources to spread Justice Democrats’ nomination form far and wide in order to get it into the hands of working-class people who have a friend, family member, or co-worker who they believe should represent their community in Congress. Their average contribution this year is just $18. JD is funded by people chipping in what they can afford because they believe in electing more leaders who will fight for economic, social, racial, and environmental justice for all.
JD is one of the only organizations that recruits candidates from across the country and helps them defeat entrenched, corporate-PAC backed incumbents. A donation of any amount will help them find the next working-class, transformative leaders who I will be proud to fight alongside in Congress.
Thank you for all you do,
Rashida Tlaib
