John, did you see Bernie Sanders’ email from a few days ago? Here’s an excerpt:
"Justice Democrats has done something incredible. In just a few years, they have recruited and helped elect a strong, diverse, working-class group of progressives to the U.S. House of Representatives that includes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman.
We’re building something that the political establishment hasn’t seen in decades. The truth is, they’re scared. And they should be.
Here's the truth, John: It took tremendous resources and effort to recruit working-class, primary challengers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman. And Justice Democrats just launched their 2022 candidate recruitment efforts, setting a goal to raise $100,000 in the next 72 hours to challenge the establishment in Congress. That’s why I'm asking:
Bernie Sanders is on board with our movement to take on the political establishment and elect more people like AOC, Jamaal, and Cori. We’re racing against the clock to reach our $260,000 end of year goal. But right now we’re behind by 18% and we need a huge influx of contributions in order to catch up.
We’re in a fight for the future of the Democratic Party. Thank you so much for your support.
