John,
We just launched our candidate recruitment efforts and with the DCCC’s blacklist still in place, we need an influx of resources to recruit and support another wave of progressive primary challengers.
Reporters are already reaching out. They want to know if we think we can recruit the next AOC, Jamaal, and Cori and grow our power in Congress even more in 2022.
Whether it’s fair or not, the media will look at our fundraising as a sign of whether or not the progressive movement is on the rise.
It’s not just about electing the next Squad to Congress. It’s about demonstrating that our movement can and will transform the Democratic Party from the inside out. Whether we rise or fall is up to ALL of us.
I won’t sugar coat it. There’s a lot riding on how our candidate recruitment goes, and the future of our movement depends on us giving it our all.
Thanks for all you do,
Waleed Shahid
Justice Democrats
